<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4125366, member: 19165"]There are a number of different reasons why various members have guessed the way they have. I will point out, however, there are a lot of very experienced and very reliable graders who have guessed accurately within a point of the TPG grade, and have admirably explained the anomalies seen in the pictures provided. 66% of guesses on this thread were within one point of the TPG grade, despite the voluble protestations of other members! A brief review of this thread and other recent GTGs should quickly identify certain members who are normally spot on, and others which are often several points off. I'll let the readers decide who to listen to for grading advice. </p><p><br /></p><p>While many throw up their hands and say modern grading is ridiculous, or grading from pictures is useless... experience has shown that people with the proper skill set are quite successful at it. [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER] has a nearly 100% accuracy on these GTG threads. If you try and learn, and listen to the ones who are more often correct, you too can be successful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
