"The difference between the sum of the heights of the original five people and the sum of the heights of the remaining four must be equal to the height of the person who left. Subtract the second sum from the first to get the height of the person who left: 270 - 208 = 62 inches, the final answer.
The median of a group of numbers is the middle term when the numbers are written in either acending or descending order. That means that before you can calculate a median, you must first rewrite the terms of the group in ascending or descending order. For example, to calculate the median of 0.3, 7, 0, 9, and 10, you can't choose 0 simply because it appears in the middle."
LOL and now I will find the next closest book that is not a GRE study guide and do this again...
"He met the other point man in midflight, hooking him with an arm and upending him in midair. The reversal of direction was forceful enough to dislodge the broc. As he came crashing to the ground the man with the gray eyes caught the loose broc while it was still in the air. His foot came down on the back of the fallen point man's head, driving his face into the mud. Kahlan knew without a doubt that he could have easily broken the man's neck, but he had deliberately avoided doing so."
