OK. Assuming "10 DEVIATIONS" is 10 Standard Deviations...we now need to determine the mean and distance from the mean to calculate.
BUT...the mean of what?? This sounds like a riddle to me IMO, requiring one to guess at what is being measured here. There would be 10 different problems, but we don't know the data to input to solve for SD.

SD can be used to determine decay of different radioactive isotopes when combined, distances, time, dates... any number of variables of measurement when combined...you name it.

If anyone has any coded jihadi numbers from posts, use THEM as SD and try working the equation backwards.

OK...that's all I want to revisit college statistics. [Man that was some good S***!] /jk

Oooh college statistics! That is where I first learned about matrixes...matrices...I think.

Indie, you are thinking in linear. The puppet masters pulling all these strings are Propaganda and Marketing Experts! EVIL outside the box thinkers.
