JFC!
Sadly, I have to inform you that I am not smart enough to calculate the harmonic mean for more than 3 numbers mentally. (I can't keep the results in memory) You must be younger than I thought, otherwise you would know, that there were books of tables for just about anything. We used those to get the numbers.
Disagreeing with someone, does not mean dismissing other's ideas! At least, it should not be.
And please calm down. We are not at war with each other.
All the best to you. |
