Here is what I mean.

Suppose you have a way to count the balls that a particular robot actually shot, entered into the top of the HEG and was actually counted by the scoring system; Let's call this number God's HEG Count for each robot for each qualifying match, which she keeps in God's STEAMWORKS Ledger (of course).

The Devil (being a detail guy of course) then hacks into The Cloud (St. Peter is famously lax on security) and gets a copy of God's STEAMWORKS Ledger. He imports the whole thing into Excel [ASIDE] I know what you are thinking, he's in Hell, why isn't he trying to do stats using Google Sheets? Funny story, it seems that they have a special ring there just for that purpose but... it is controlled access... and while the Devil could figure out a way in, he misplaced his ID while picnicing last weekend near Styx... and facilities in Hell just went to 2 factor authentication,... And MS Office came loaded on his work PC... Just like everyone else, it's just simpler for the Devil to use a MS product than find an alternative [/ASIDE] where he sorts God's HEG Count for each team from high to low then goes half way down the list where... VIOLA! ... He finds each team's Median HEG Ball Count (of course, if there are an even number of qualifying matches, he averages the middle two rows -- I told you the Devil is a detail guy...)

More on what I WANT from a stats person in another message...

Stay tuned...


Dr. Joe J.

P.S. This is all tongue in cheek. Nobody get offended please.
P.P.S. And if you are offended, I am sorry. JJ
