Dear me, it's quite simple. All you have to do, is take the top number, divide by a quarter of the bottom, subtract the median, then multiply this by how many mongeese die every year. Simple

I'd agree with Katie by gut feeling, but I haven't studied this for years. If you want absolute clarification this site probably has it: mathworld.wolfram.com/

I'm so confused! Different sites are telling me different things! And my frigging maths textbook ain't helping either!

Simple mongooses mate goose-singular... geese-plural mongoose-singular... mongeese-plural; see! And it sounds better!

Guess this was the wrong place to ask such an intellectual question! (Minus Neko & Katie.)

Or, if you live in Scotland, rich people live in a hoose, and landlords own hooses! See also the many nooses used on Saddam and his aides
