+# The file '2010.census.txt' contains summary statistics from the 2010 United
+# States census including household income. The data is in an unspecified
+# format.
+
+# Find the average of the column called:
+
+#     'MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME'
+
+# Ideally the solution should be a command line script, of the form:
+
+#     $ ./solution [options] [file...]
+
+# The solution may be written in any language, Python is preferred but not
+# required.
+
+# Google, stack overflow, etc. usage is allowed.
