Alright, so the obvious thing would seem to be to have a pool for HN readers, right?

Now that we can see what a results page looks like, it seems like something more than a sorted list of numbers might be interesting. I mean, there's not enough data collected at the start to do something very interesting, but a chart and some statistics would be fairly simple and make it much more digestible. As it is, it's just a numberwall.

Kind of useless if everyone puts in bogus numbers, though. $10*pi million annually? Really, guys?

I did some analysis of numbers in the (10K, 500K] range:

    1st Q:  62K
    2nd Q:  92K
    3rd Q: 120K

    Mean: 99.8K.
I'm making the assumption that numbers outside my specified range are outliers, unemployed, or a joke.
