OK, OK.  I'll bite.  Explain to me how the median score can be 800.  I'm 
under the impression that 800 is the maximum possible score.  Since the
median score is defined as the score that divides the distribution into
halves (50% above, 50% below), I fail to see how this is possible.  Go ahead.
Enlighten me.
