    Nope, there is a number, ie 3 in 10, except that isn't it.

    A little under 50%. You've got about a 1 in 2 chance of passing unless you get Mericet as your examiner.

    (I finally got round to looking that one up.)

    So, what's the pass mark for Unseen University examinations?

    Do you mean Finals or any examination?

    Dunno about any examination, but finals are 88%.


    If I'm right my question is:

    "How old was Cohen when he left his tribe?"

    Tower of the arts.

    BTW for all those people who got the success rate at the assassin's guild wrong, the answer is 1 in 5 make it as assassins.

    Me too. I reread the first section of Pyramids, figuring it'd be there, but the answer I gave (1 in 2) was the only reference to passing rate I could see. I even checked the New Discworld Companion, but it wasn't there either. Where the hell do you get 1 in 5 from Thanx 4 The Fish?????

    Is the answer to sykeirl's The Dysk?
