D42
E46
Worked solution

Sort the values first; the median is the middle value (or the mean of the two middle values). The correct answer is 52. Traps to avoid: 26 comes from the "unsorted middle" error; 58 comes from the "took maximum" error; 42 comes from the "midrange" error; 46 comes from the "mean not median" error.
