Why the long face?
$30,000.00 USD

because
a) This would still be less than the change in 2013, and
b) What would be the point of winning if the current trend hasn't changed by then?   Grin

Gloire à la Victoire !
As for me I would say ~$400.

The median is simply the middle number of the sample here. The data isn't distributed normally, the mean is over $5000 and the SD over $26000.

Should have used log scale (seriously!) i.e. use the geometric mean instead of arithmetic mean,
and compute the SD by exp(sqrt(sum((log(P(i)) - log(Pmean))^2))).

Hey, thanks. I have ~$480 for the geometric mean, and ~10.5 for the geometric SD. If I understand this right, the geometric standard deviation is multiplicative, so 1sigma would be 480*10.5, 2sigma 480*10.5^2, while -1sigma would be 480/10.5?

Yes, that's correct, thanks!

Can't we just go ahead and determine the median values with the 5 most accepted ways there are? Hell, we could even introduce the super-meta-mean-index Cheesy

where do you all take these numbers from?

Real numbers, unlike 'real money', are inflationary and infinitely divisible.  Their Central Bank can issue an infinite amount of them in an arbitrarily short time.  In fact, more than you can count.

Did you use a Gaussian function to have it? A normal distribution is very good to understand probability...
