The first three days of the Brisbane cricket test had the following attendances:

\begin{array} {|l|c|}
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex}\text{Day 1}\rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & 20\ 156\\
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex}\text{Day 2}\rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & 18\ 397\\
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex}\text{Day 3}\rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & 29\ 981\\
\hline
