Mode

The mode of a set of numbers is the one that occurs most often.
So, in the set {1, 5, 7, 5, 9}, the mode is 5 because there are 2 fives and only one of each of the others.

Now here is a problem for you:
Find the mode of this set of numbers:

   2  6  9  0  5  2  4  1  6  4  5  2
Mode = _____
