My guess is it's absurdly bimodal. A former roommate's girlfriend managed to use an entire roll every time she visited (which was only a few hours). Everyone else I've lived with takes like a week to get through one.

Unary "+" returns NaN for strings that don't contain exactly a number (except for empty string which standard type conversion turns into 0). It even works for scientific notation like +'1e3' === 1000.
