"So, how badly did you fail the math mid-term?" Yomi smugly asked Tomo.

"I got 40%," Tomo said. "But that's OK. I'll still get an 'A' in math."

Yomi face-palmed. "Tomo, you'd have to get a perfect score on the final exam just to get a 'C-minus' in math now!"

"Oh," Tomo said, "so you're saying that I can't get an 'A' in math?"

"Yes," Yomi said, "because you'd have to get about 140% on the final exam to get an 'A'!"

"...that will be difficult," Tomo said thoughtfully.

"Especially if your math isn't any better than this," Yomi noted.
