With a standard deviation of 1.00, this may be my least divisive entry by quite a margin (though I have yet to actually check).

This seems like as good a time as any to remind everyone that I'm sitting on a surplus of simulated gold bricks worth close to $300 million: https://damonwakes.itch.io/gold-brick-simulator
