Mean Machine
Just in case you need to explain how the arithmetic mean is calculated: The Mean Machine

Re: Mean Machine
That is the most incredible name I have ever seen for a machine that calculates the mean of a set of numbers. It's stylish too. Excellent.

Re: Mean Machine
I was going to do one for the Median, but the name just wasn't right. And let's not even think about Standard Deviations.

Re: Mean Machine
The Median Medieval something. 
Looks great, and as Zhylliolom said, very stylish. I have seen things like this before, but never to do with something like this. Great idea.

Re: Mean Machine
The Medieval Median Medium ... Machine ... !
Anyway, I am going to do a Standard Deviation Calculator, but it is going to be boring with just numbers.

Re: Mean Machine
Make the Standard Deviation Calculator take place on a highway, that always spices things up.
