[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2931742, member: 19165"]Two problems with this thread: 1. I'm really not sure what you were trying to get at: gradeflation? TPG variance? Differences in grading between years? Something else? 2. The pictures you provided were awful, and we were not able to grade from them at all. A later post gave us better pictures to grade from, but the thread had been de-railed by then. Cryptic posts with awful pictures leave us confused. This thread is the result. So, some lessons to learn for future OPs (and, I'm not picking on you at all, just trying to help the forum be better): 1. Please either teach us something in your original post (clearly explain, answer any potential questions, and help us learn) or ask a clearly stated question (what does this grade, why did this happen, what is the answer to this question). 2. Please provide clear pictures. Out of focus, dark, blurry, incomprehensible pictures will invariable lead to posts asking for good pictures, or will de-rail your thread. Even an iPhone can take better pictures than you gave us. So, going forward, let's all try to make better threads, so that we can all learn and help each other.[/QUOTE]
