Answer 2

42 is represented as a median because if you put the numbers in order from least to greatest, and when you get to your last number from canceling outward, it is 42. With numbers in sets of 6, this would be harder as there is no actually middle, so you would have to do work to figure it out.

40, 40, 42, 48, 58 —-> 42 is middle #
