okay...
there are a total of 400 points available (4x "100%")

To get 60% overall you need 60% of 400 which is 240.

You already got 68 of those in your first module, so you need another 172.

Spread over 3 more modules, that's 57.3% you need to get in each one.

You forgot to factor in one important detail
anybody who can't do basic arithmetic by the time they're at University should have been sent down the pit at age 13.

My brain doesn't work with maths.

I never went to university.
It is a well-established fact that I am thick as two short planks.
(I helped save b3ta! Batsgirl, Sun 17 May 2009, 11:25, archived)
At least you could probably work out how long the short planks are
and how many you'd need to build a short pier.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Sun 17 May 2009, 11:26, archived)
But a long pier,
that's going to need ADVANCED MATHS.

The squaw on the hippopotamus type maths?

And a brick pier.
It's just not going to happen.

Cor, I did it right.
I knew that E in A-level Maths would come in handy.

Oh that's less than I thought.
I can stop worrying now.

Ta. :)

Far too much working out there for such a simple problem.
My German lecturer would hate you.
(I helped save b3ta! Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Sun 17 May 2009, 11:26, archived)
Then your German lecturer is a cock.

To be fair, he did teach us computer programming.
And for something that was supposed to take 10 lines I used 5 pages.

He then taught me Classical mechanics and I got 90% in his exam, so we're best buds now.

You were taught computer programming by somebody who thought brevity was more important than clarity?
He really must be a cock. I can see why you're buddies.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Sun 17 May 2009, 11:31, archived)
Trust me, it was much clearer his way too.

(I helped save b3ta! Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Sun 17 May 2009, 11:32, archived)
Utter bollocks.
He's a cock. You're a cock. Cocks of a feather.

I'm blaming YOU for all the programme bloat that's affecting us all in these modern times of cheap storage
and cheap processing power. I'm disgusted.

No offence, great, brill, good times, etc.

Programme bloat my cock.
If it's bloated then hand assemble it or use a compiler that isn't shit. I was an embedded programmer for ten years ... I could squeeze a perl description of your mum's labia minora into less than a kilobyte.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Sun 17 May 2009, 11:37, archived)
But could you squeeze MoT into 10 lines?

Only if they're the lines of a rusty grid covering an ancient victorian sewer.

on the other hand,
my maths teacher would burst into tears of gratitude that his repeated mantra of "always show your working" had sunk in. Apparently for all of the maths GCSE questions there were four points available, and you could pick up one or two of them even if your final answer was wrong, if you had demonstrated your working-out correctly and the only problem was that you'd accidentally transposed two digits, or made an arithmetical error that was so simple you hadn't realised.
(I helped save b3ta! Batsgirl, Sun 17 May 2009, 11:38, archived)
Yeah but that's GCSE maths,
where the main focus of the course is to show you understand how to do it, the final result is important but not massively so.
