It runs deep!

Do you know what I really dislike? Shortcuts. At least when it comes to knowledge. I believe in hard work. Of course... now I sort of wish I could just cram the understanding of statistics into my head with a simple button. It's not that I don't really get it, because I sort of do. It's just that every time I have a heureka-moment and think that Yes! I get it! I realise that I don't and that I'm really far away from the right answer. It's incredibly frustrating. Not to mention annoying. Oh statistic - why can't you be easy to understand like the Black Plague? Ah, but, you say, the Black Plague increased rather rapidly. Almost... exponentially one might say. Statistics show that... And then of course I stop listening and go back to how much I really dislike mathematics. Damn you statistics!

Now... how many chocolate eggs can ten people eat under a period of one year and how many do they eat from a mean-value-point-of-view?
