Mode is almost meaningless if they’re measuring down to the second. Median and mean are excellent metrics though

That's a good point. A histogram of times by range might be more useful (and interesting) actually... I wonder what sort of distribution there is in the data. Hrmm. 🤔

My completely blind guess would be a weighted distribution, weighted towards the lower end of the range of values... Some "target" time plus or minus some large error...

Hrmm, I don't even know where I'd get me some actual data to look at 👀 if anyone knows, do share!
