I just realized I used "one" instead of "on". :-P

Some statistics from my little python simulation:

n: 1000 (I ran my simulation 1000 times)

Mean: 10425.721 days

Stddev: 1005.34467779 days

Min: 7506 days

Q1: 9711 days

Median: 10391 days

Q3: 11074 days

Max: 14090 days

Note: can someone tell me how to do single linebreaks in the comments?

Somebody should do an Ask PG for this. The line breaks in the comments drive me nuts. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes you can start with them working and then they're not working again.
