This is kind of interesting.  

Most common census grade for each Marvel Key

I find it interesting that the most common grades for EVERY SINGLE MEGA KEY is a rounded number and not a .5

Oldest mega Keys all seem to be at 3.0.  Slightly newer at 4.0.  And the most common bronze mega keys are at 8.0

Great resource.  I wish it would bold the most common grade.

Thanks for sharing.

The most common grade ('mode' in mathematics) is probably the 3rd best indicator.  Median (middle grade, 50th percentile) is best (and I should probably bold it), Mean (average, everyone's normal favorite for some reason) is 2nd best.

If you could only focus on one number, it should probably be median.

Occasionally, the same grade is all three indicators.
