Since the consensus weight is the low-median of 5 measurements spread
around the US and Western Europe, being in Germany only gets you one
good measurement: you need 3 good measurements to get a high consensus
weight.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median :

> Because of this, the median is of central importance in robust statistics, as it is the most resistant statistic, having a breakdown point of 50%: so long as no more than half the data are contaminated, the median will not give an arbitrarily large or small result.
