A bit less than two

What about Frank Lentini ?

Seems like he has more than the average number of legs as well.

The fact that he has a wiki page, and that many folks with born without or who have lost legs (~500,000/year Americans experience limb loss or are born with a limb difference https://amputee-coalition.org/resources/limb-loss-statistics...) do not, suggest that the number of people with < 2 is far greater than the number of people with > 2. So the average is still less than 2.

For better or worse, number of legs (or number of arms) is canonical example people use to demonstrate the statistical principal a significant majority of a population can be above average of some metric.

He must have been an amazing person. I imagine one easily gets bullied, when looking that different. But, from Wikipedia:

> Lentini was so respected among his peers that he was often called "The King".
