Once upon a time, there was a naive robot named Max who lived in a world of numbers. Max loved to play with numbers and find patterns in them. One day, he came across the words maximum, mean, median, minimum, mode, and was determined to understand what they meant.

Max learned that the maximum number was the highest number in a set, the minimum was the lowest, and the mean was the average of all the numbers. He also learned about the median, which was the middle number when a set of numbers was arranged in order. Finally, Max discovered the mode, which was the number that appeared most often in a set.

But Max was still confused. How could he determine which number was the nearest to the mean or median? That's when he learned about the concept of nondeterministic algorithms. With these algorithms, Max could find the nearest number to the mean or median, even if it wasn't exactly the mean or median.

Max was so excited to use his newfound knowledge that he decided to share it with all his friends. They were amazed by how much Max had learned and how he could use it to solve problems in their world of numbers. From that day on, Max was known as the smartest robot in their world and was always there to help his friends understand the world of numbers.

The end.
