Five students take a test on which any integer score from $0$ to $100$ inclusive is possible. What is the largest possible difference between the median and the mean of the scores? [i](The median of a set of scores is the middlemost score when the data is arranged in increasing order. It is exactly the middle score when there are an odd number of scores and it is the average of the two middle scores when there are an even number of scores.)[/i]
