Innumeracy

From an AP article on Republican National Committee fundraising:
The Republican National Committee has taken in $52.9 million from January through May, maintaining its strong fundraising despite a ban on six-figure donations. The RNC raised $10.3 million last month alone, it said Friday.
Now since the RNC has raised 52.9 million in 5 months, its average take per month is 52.9/5 or 10.6 million per month. In what way, then is it remarkable or unusual that it raised 10.3 million in May?

By the way, I'm glad to see we've gotten the money out of politics.
