ant and grasshopper

no fireworks this time in the results, even with the significant improvement over last year. interesting is a comparative statistic, the weakest class did better overall compared to the strongest. this is not a new trend, but has surfaced in certain years. my theory is that hard work trumps intelligence and flair most of the time: an accurate assessment of one's capabilities followed by an earnest effort to remedy one's weaknesses will always succeed more than a comfortable banking on one's ease at grasping concepts and appreciating nuance.

such a truism - but it works for scenarios at this level of challenge.
