Kicked their asses, but only one of them fell on her butt.

Some people never learn.

I know this feeling well, frakkers insisted that they failed while getting near perfect score

Is this a dogwhistle?

So... Can someone explain to me how Japanese grading works? I've been reading manga and watching anime for years, but I never actually saw how it's supposed to work.

I honestly just looked up this Wikipedia article, but it doesn't... Really help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Japan

Okay, scratch all that and let me ask a different question. I get that each school has different grading systems. Whatever. Not great but whatever. My issue is how are we supposed to interpret that as viewers of manga/anime? If each school just has its own system and then you show a character getting, I don't know, a 50, what does that mean? Are you supposed to just use the surrounding context clues for the meaning of whether that's good or bad? Like how the characters react to that kind of score?

TL,DR: Score is 0 to 100, with 30 being your fail mark (and thus you’re forced to retake the test).

Thank you for the reply. I really do appreciate it.

But it's common to retake a test? As in, that's a fairly standard feature of many/most/all Japanese schools? My expectation/experience is that you take the test once, and if you fail, then you fail. What I'm not really understanding is what causes a Japanese student to have to repeat a grade if they can just [continuously?] retake exams. I understand other issues like minimum attendance being a prerequisite, but apparently passing a mandatory class is not...

A few more chapter and it's complete 😏😏😏

That escalator riddle though.

That escalator riddle though.

Wanna hear a riddle? I had seen this in a book of "lateral thinking" that asked some fairly "normal" questions similar to the escalator one. Just required a different perspective. Then it tossed this one at me based on true events.

Two people were hiking in the mountains and carried a bag that contained something extremely precious to them. The contents were literally the difference between life and death, and they made sure not to lose it. As they hiked, they eventually saw another person in the mountains. Upon seeing this other person, they buried the bag in a place where no one would find it and where they themselves never intended to ever return to. After meeting with the other man, they departed and never went back to the bag, and they purposely never intended to go back to the bag.

The question was what was in the bag.

Spoiler

This concerns this, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguayan_Air_Force_Flight_571. In short, the two hikers were survivors of a plane crash that had carried a bag of human flesh during their journey to find help. They buried it because after finding another human, they knew they wouldn't need to eat it.

Mind you that this was in what I believe was a book for children on riddles.

The idea is that if you're dangerously close to fail your grade, you must retake the test you scored the worst in an attempt to improve it. If by the end of the term your average scores fall below the threshold (Usually about 45?), you must repeat the current grade.

I first thought the answer to the riddle was food or water which is in some technical way close to the real answer.

Spoiler

But man, that sure was much darker than what I originally was thinking
I thought this would be a straightforward thing like hiking equipment that was equivalent to having another fellow human in the group

Thanks for the chapter.

And then you get to college and have some classes where almost everyone fails the test, either on purpose (some departments have flunk-out courses to weed out people not up the field, the chemistry dept. at my university was notorious for this in every freaking course, even 101/102*) or a TA getting cute. Had the latter happen in one of my computer science classes. Class average first time was around 30. They gave us the exact same test open book and notes, it only went up to 50. Turned out the TA had made the test so difficult even some of the CS professors had trouble with some of the problems.

Result: A curve for the test and a grad student losing their teaching assistantship and the tuition waiver that comes with it.

* And that's why I took biology 101/102 even though I'd transferred in with a chemistry 101 credit.
