Why did the average 'Days Since Update' change for imac from 185 to 205?

Recently in the Imac Buyer's Guide on this site the average 'Days since update' (i.e. the average days between updates) changed from 185 to 205 days, even though I can't see that anything else is different. Does anyone know why?

Because numbers get bigger when you add?

Arn removed an update (the addition of an education only model, which really wasn't an update) and that changed the average.

Thanks! Mystery solved. I'm still stuck trying to figure out if it is worthwhile waiting, or whether I should buy now, but at least this site really helps you to compile the facts. I'm pretty sure the relatively minor updates that people are predicting are not really worth waiting for, but I have a perfectly functional computer now so I probably will anyway... Thanks again.
