Here's a quote from an esteemed by-log commenter:

'Perhaps you should specify what you mean by "bomb."'

Ahem.

Well.

When I wrote that I had an idea that it wasn't as bad as I made it sound.

Here are the cold, hard numbers.

I got a 57.5 out of 100 on the test.

You think that's bad? Huh?

Yeah it is, but the class average was a 56.

And this class is curved such that the average is set to a B.
