I have not posted a one time measurement.
What I have posted is a medium-term trend analysis. I'll post this sentence again for you, as you seem to be having diffculty with it:
Sea ice extent in October averaged 8.06 million square kilometers (3.11 million square miles). This is 850,000 square kilometers (328,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 long-term average of 8.91 million square kilometers (3.44 million square miles) and 1.29 million square kilometers (498,000 square miles) above the record low for the month observed in 2007.
So that is based on averages over more than 30 years. The ice is currently 850,000 square kilimeters below that 30-year average. There a series of graphs in this link that will help explain and provide more information.

I'll ask again - is the Artic losing ice?
In a word, NO. short term changes do not prove a trend. Are you really so stupid that you don't get that?
