Paragraph 3 (starting "A researcher at...") appears flawed. The "mean time" of 9.2 days is the average, all the values divided by the total number of samples. The "guaranteed" time to find a lump is, as I read it, the max - and that's listed as 8 days. One of these values is not mathematically possible. If, otoh, the "guaranteed" time (or the "mean time") is intended to mean something else, one or both needs to be rephrased. Albedo (talk) 20:40, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
