-{Citizen}- Brint: My quantum mechanics class has been killing me.
-{Citizen}- Fynn: I won the game!
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Quantum... *shudder*
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: To me, the purpose of The Game is to find the most
            imaginative way to announce your loss
-{Citizen}- Varnin: the key is making sure your lift is strong enough to
            lift the quantum off the ground so you can get under it
-{Citizen}- Fynn: I got 12% on my quantum final, it was one of the highest
            grades in the class
-{Citizen}- Rosuav has a blank look on his face.
-{Citizen}- Varnin: some quantum mechanics just open the hood
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: That's not much of a score
-{Citizen}- Fynn: It was multiple choice, with a guessing penalty
-{Citizen}- Fynn: So the class average was actually negative
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Varnin, I think my quantum's making some rather strange
            noises. How much will it cost to get a new front end?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Wow
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: How do you implement a guessing penalty?
-{Citizen}- Tyisrisum: Get it wrong, loose a point
-{Citizen}- Varnin: Unfortunately, the more firmly I know what's wrong with
            your quantum, the less I know how much it will cost.
-{Citizen}- Brint: Probably using some sort of standard deviation
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Oh Varnin, I thought you were different from other
            mechanics, but it turns out you're no different from anyone
            else...
-{Citizen}- Fynn nods at Tyisrisum
-{Citizen}- Fynn: If you had left the test blank, you'd have got a C+
-{Citizen}- Varnin: that is fucked up, Fynn
-{Citizen}- Varnin: is this in a military school or a civilian school?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Oh, so really that just means you rescale it from -100
            to 100 instead of from 0 to 100, and you give a half point for
            leaving blank
