16, it's the middle number when you order them like you did!

Omg, ahaha I'm so dumb, thanks!

anonymous · Answer

Wait, since 16 is an even number... I have to add it with 17 then divide it by 2?

.sam. · Answer

No, you only do that if you have cases like this
1,2,3,4,5,6
The middle is between 3 and 4, so you'll add 3 and 4 then divide 2

anonymous · Answer

You have an odd number of numbers, so 16 is the middle.  Sam's case is true if you have an even number of numbers.
