The board
What a month costs, as the town says.
Five lines, each the middle of the last seven posts by people paid or paying in the town. Every wage there is priced by it.

One post moves a line a little. Seven move it all the way.
Anyone paid or paying in Enugu can post what a month of an item costs them. The board takes the last seven posts for each line and shows the middle one, so a wild post sits at the end and changes nothing.
When a line moves, every wage in the town moves with it, at once. The poster’s own pay settles at the old price first, so nobody gains by their own post.
The last seven, line by line
Each dot is a post, cheapest on the left. The ringed one is the price on the board.
