The general way to work this out is to solve the general expression for
the remaining quantity versus half-life, using logarithms. But that's not
necessary with these numbers.
Look at the numbers:
-- 3 mg is 1/4 of 12 mg.
-- 1/4 is the product of (1/2) x (1/2).
-- So the 3 mg is what's left of 12 mg after 2 half-lives.
The 26 minutes must be two half-lives.
-- The half-life of that substance is 26/2 = <em>13 minutes</em>.

Explanation:
There may be a couple of reasons for this:
1. Each team represents a sample of the players in the league. The averages of (random) samples can be expected to have a standard deviation that is smaller than the population standard deviation by a factor related to sample size.
2. A team average will result from the players who are played the most. Each team can be expected to field players more often whose averages are among the highest. The standard deviation of a set of the top tier of players will necessarily be smaller than the standard deviation of the set of all players.
