The median is the number in the middle. You find the median,
by putting the values in order from lowest to highest, then find
the number that is exactly in the middle.
If you only have a single value, one could argue that it is in the middle.
That would make the single value the median. One could also argue that there
no numbers on either side to the definition makes no sense and there is no median
of a single value.

No, there is never more than one median in a data set. The median is defined as the middle value when the data is arranged in order. If the data set has an odd number of observations, the median is the single middle value. If it has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values, which also results in a single value.
In statistics, the median is defined as the midpoint of a set of numbers that are arranged in numerical order. 72 is a single value. The median cannot be determined because a range of values has not been provided.
The median of a single number is itself!
Median is the middle value in a set of numbers. The median of 278 is 278.
The median of a single number is itself. So the answer is 30.
