JFYI, the mean is found by x((y+1)/2)+z Quick man, get yourself a copy of the CRC Book of Standard Mathematical Tables!! ;) It contains formulas for this and everything else you can think of. Very handy for just about anything you could possibly be doing. Unfortunately, I don't have mine handy, but I know what you seek can be found therein.
