      depends how you work out the average. Average means ‘the middle’ length. Sometimes a really high or low number can scew the average one way or another but I think with legs it’s fairly slap bang in the middle.

      I know most people have less than the average number of legs. There are people with no or only one leg and none with 3 so the average is slightly less than 2.
