Problem Statement

Choose a real number between 00 and 1010, inclusive. If your number is less than the average of all numbers chosen, you will get your number's worth of points, but if your number is greater than or equal to the average, you will get 00 points. For example, if the average of all numbers chosen is 1.21.2, and you pick 1.61.6, then you will receive 00 points, but if you pick 0.50.5, then you will receive 0.50.5 points. Express your answer to the nearest thousandth. For example, 7.8007.800, 2.1102.110, and 0.2340.234 are valid responses, but 7.87.8 and 0.23450.2345 are not. An invalid response will receive a score of zero.
