Experiment 06 / Shape the Data
Move a number.
Watch the middle.
Five readings become five movable points. Pull one away, bring another through the middle, or shift the target. See precisely when the mean moves, when the median holds, and which estimate ends up closer.
A living number line / 0 to 100
Every reading is a handle.
Drag a numbered point horizontally. Drag the rose target at the top to move the reference. Each reading has its own lane so overlapping values remain easy to grab. Use the labeled controls below for precise values or a keyboard.
Fine controls
Tap a range or enter a value. Each input spans 0–100; typed readings can use four decimal places.
Distance to the target
Mean and median are computed from all five readings.
Compare the new arrangement with the anchored starting case.

What breaks the pattern?
To rank the easiest change across all five readings, see Flip Levers. For the exact boundary with one moving reading, see Flip Point.
Carry your arrangement
Turn it into a question.
Your five readings and chosen target can open as a blind challenge, a ranked flip, a two-axis decision map, or an analysis in the full workbench. Each link carries the six numbers.
