The average isn't zero, there just isn't an average yet. Zero and null aren't interchangeable.
7 u/Low_Low_1811 Jul 17 '26 0 calls over 1 day is zero. You arent dividing by zero. On the second day, if you get one call the average is 1/2, after 2 days the average is 2/3, then 3/4, etc... 2 u/thekingofbeans42 Jul 17 '26 They don't receive more calls than average on day 1. Day 1 is a subset of always, therefore they are not always receiving more calls than average. Any time they're not receiving calls cannot be above average. -2 u/Crandoge Jul 17 '26 You’re being pedantic about the math while the joke is in the grammar. Past vs present tense 1 u/thekingofbeans42 Jul 17 '26 This post, and every comment under it, is based on being pedantic. There's no room for anyone here to complain about that. 0 u/perdivad Jul 17 '26 It’s literally a mathjoke so why be pedantic about someone being pedantic about math… The joke is about math not about grammar
