I found something close -
Y = nth root(.5) * (Maximum value)

Does this seem correct? It has a max value of 5, but N=2 gives 3.53

Edit:// If you pick two numbers, you're asking, at what value are the product of these two probabilities 50%? So having two probabilities of sqrt .5 (.7071...) multiplied together gives probability .5. The same would go for 3, 4, 5, or N numbers.

Is this reasoning sound?
