(please reply > with a number only) Alright, I'm wrapping up this toy study. Two things before the numbers come:
- A few respondents gave 2 numbers, one "reasonable", the other "if I really have to". I took the latter (larger) number as I was after maximum length, something usable as a setting for a repository hook. - 2 respondents said "no limit". I excluded them from computations, albeit it's a valid answer. 1 respondent answered "1 mole" which I also excluded as a 22-order-of-magnitude outlier. > lengths = c(80, 80, 110, 120, 80, 80, 100, 100, 120, 110, 90) > summary(lengths) Min. 1st Qu.
