For the sake of this exercise we'll consider skeletons rounded to whole integers. And air resistance may be ignored.

Assume a spherical skeleton...

Just goes to show how your prejudices affect your judgement without you realising. I just assumed everyone's skeleton was a perfect sphere one unit in diameter and mass, at rest, on a perfectly level, frictionless, infinite plane and in a vacuum. Like mine.

Well then the average is just 1 isn't it. It doesn't make any sense to integer-ise your inputs but leave your output rounded.
