Microsoft Math...

My Internet connection is pretty crappy. It exists, so I am happy about that, but it craps out from time to time so I keep a ping going. This is what I received when I CTRL+C'd it before going to bed:

    Packets: Sent = 92299, Received = 90871, Lost = 1428 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 13ms, Maximum = 948ms, Average = 8ms

Can someone explain how the average could be BELOW the minimum?

do they count the lost packets as 0ms?

Yep. But they don't count in the min. It's an old old bug but they call it a feature so its fine. :)
