    all of them?

    Noone fails an exam and lives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 Ravaan


    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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    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?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    Hrm, 10 days and no reply.

    Ok I'll give an easier question:

    What can be found at the very centre of Ankh Morpork?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    The Shades?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin

    nope, fraid not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    Nope again.


    (what book has the assassin reference? That did my head in for ages)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 Ravaan


    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    UU was the centre of the city but it expanded away from there.

    Is it pseudopolis Yard.

    AM grid reference EJ5 or the watchhouse


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    nope and nope

    Where is the Assassin ref T4TF?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 Ravaan


    Opera House?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    Bingo!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 Ravaan

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 Ravaan
