No. of goals: 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,29,31,41,43. Avg - 17
ReplyDeleteI believe the average of 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,29,31,41, and 43 to be closer to 16.909...
ReplyDeleteThe following seems to work, however:
5,7,11,13,17,19,29,31,37,41,43 (Sum 253, avg 23)
05,07,11,13,17,19,29,31,37,41,43
ReplyDeleteit worx....
I would have to say, if it works then it works!
