What about people who have had limbs amputated?

Do teeth count as part of the skeleton? If you've lost teeth do you only have 99% of a skeleton left?

According to this, bones don't start forming until the sixth or seventh week of gestation, so does the fetus technically not have a skeleton before then?

So many questions

For the sake of this exercise we'll consider skeletons rounded to whole integers. And air resistance may be ignored.

Well then the average is just 1 isn't it. It doesn't make any sense to integer-ise your inputs but leave your output rounded.
