Hi Rodrigo,
I was about to answer this post last night when I noticed that you seem 
to have different measures for the last two values in each set. Unless I 
am sadly mistaken, the first and third quartile should bracket the 
median. I would check what these two figures mean before trying to build 
a boxplot.
