I replied re the use of the Median function.
You could, of course, sum the 4 peaks and the 4 troughs to get their
average, but that doesn't get the elusive median that you seek.
You could grab the 8 points in a for loop and then Bubble sort them if
you must.

So was the question that stupid, or hasn't anyone ever attempted it?

Anyone???
