    Return:
        The mean of members in the list.

def split_list(bench, func, var):
    """ Split the list into a smaller set of more distinct points

    Group together points such that the difference between the smallest
    point and the mean is less than 1/3rd of the mean.  This means that
    the mean is at most 1.5x the smallest member of that group.

    mean - xmin < mean / 3
    i.e. 2 * mean / 3 < xmin
    i.e. mean < 3 * xmin / 2

    For an evenly distributed group, the largest member will be less than
    twice the smallest member of the group.
    Derivation:

    An evenly distributed series would be xmin, xmin + d, xmin + 2d...

    mean = (2 * n * xmin + n * (n - 1) * d) / 2 * n
    and max element is xmin + (n - 1) * d

    Now, mean < 3 * xmin / 2

    3 * xmin > 2 * mean
    3 * xmin > (2 * n * xmin + n * (n - 1) * d) / n
    3 * n * xmin > 2 * n * xmin + n * (n - 1) * d
    n * xmin > n * (n - 1) * d
    xmin > (n - 1) * d
    2 * xmin > xmin + (n-1) * d
    2 * xmin > xmax

    Hence, proved.

    Similarly, it is trivial to prove that for a similar aggregation by using
    the maximum element, the maximum element in the group must be at most 4/3
    times the mean.
