Mr Average (aged 37)
*Mr Average will live to the age of 67, so he has another good 30 years ahead of him.
*His name is likely Sergei, Margus or Andrei, as these were the most popular boys' names in 1971.
*He works in the processing industry or construction or as an equipment or machine operator. He received a vocational education.
*He probably drives a Volkswagen, as they are the most common cars in the country. If not that then the number two: a Ford.
*He wears size 43 shoes.
*He smokes, having started at the age of 18.
*The most popular alcoholic beverage with Mr Average is beer (he drinks it every week).
*In the last 30 days he could well have had a bad back.
*He is a tad overweight.

Mrs Average (aged 42)*Unlike her husband, Mrs Average will live to the ripe old age of 78.
*Her name is most probably Jelena, Svetlana or Tiina.
*She works in a factory or a shop or has something to do with education. She is probably a middle-level or senior specialist in her field.
*While she has the same i.e. vocational education as her husband (or partner), she has also done in-service training.
*She had her first baby at 25, which means that baby is now 17 years old (and called either Martin or Kristina).
*Mrs Average wears size 38 or 39 shoes.
*She doesn't smoke and is in the healthy weight range.
*She has a glass of wine or some other alcohol at least once a month.
*She most likely had a headache at some point in the past 30 days.
Other interesting titbits the Eesti Ekspress article threw up included the following facts:
*While Mr & Mrs Average do their shopping two to three times a week at big supermarkets, eschewing corner shops and convenience stores, they still get their potatoes from acquaintances who grow their own and honey from a friendly beekeeper.
*In the event that the beekeeper or anyone else tempts them into casual sex outside of the relationship, they won't use a condom.
*If this doesn't kill them, a coronary will. Or cancer.
*If this doesn't kill them, a coronary will. Or cancer.
*Mr & Mrs Average do not represent the average Estonian family at all: the most widespread family unit in the country is the single-parent model. Since they're together they are most likely an amalgam of families, with at least one child not being the fruit of both of their loins.
