But someone already caught one with so few

Even among the hardest, someone already caught one with far fewer. “Already caught with” is the fastest announced capture for each one.

Why 'normally' and not 'on average'?

The average adds up the balls from every capture and divides by the total. It sounds fair, but one unlucky hunter who spent 5 thousand balls pulls the number way up, and suddenly it looks like everyone struggles the same.

So we do it differently: we line up every capture, from the one that spent the fewest balls to the one that spent the most, and take the one in the middle. Half the community caught spending less than that, half spending more. One person's bad luck doesn't scramble the count, and the number shows what normally happens on your hunt.

Example: five players caught with 10, 20, 30, 40 and 5,000 balls. By the average, that would be 1,020 balls. Our way, 30. Which of the two looks more like your life?
