New Wolvie & CBG Review

[OldGuy]

The new issue of CBG (out today) as a review of the new Wolverine #1. Five people reviewed it and gave it the following grades:

 

B

B+

B

A

A-

 

CBG averaged these grades and gave it an A- over all. Don't these grades average out to be a B+ and not an A-?

[CosmicBob]

Unless they put different weighting on different people's grades, I don't see how this list could get to an A-.

 

B = 3.00

B+ = 3.25

B = 3.00

A = 4.00

A- = 3.75

 

Average = 3.40, much closer to B+ than A-. But who knows what type of scoring they do with these reviews.

B

B+

B

A

A-

 

the two B's cancel each other out

the B+ and the A average A-

leaving you with A- and A-

 

So the A- seems correct....

Where did you learn math?

 

Using any known form of mathematics, the only possible average is very close to a B+.

 

Just think about it logically, there are TWO B's, ONE A and ONE EACH of A- and B+. If you plotted those on a graph, would the average lean toward the B or A side?

B = 3.0

B+ = 3.3

B = 3.0

A = 4.0

A- = 3.7

 

total 3.40 B+

Hmmmm....so according to your logic, if:

the 8 B's cancel each other out

the B+ and the A average A-

leaving you with A- and A-

 

That works for me!!!

Now my head hurts....

[OldGuy]

I just did it the "dumb guy" way. I threw out the high and the low and that left

 

B

B+

A-

 

That clearly averages out to B+.

[ArAich]

B

B+

A-

That clearly averages out to B+.

 

The "dumb guy" way clearly dictates an A- in this example...

[OldGuy]

How do you figure?

[PovertyRow]

B A Bay

B E Be

B I Bicky Bi

B O Bo

 

Bicky Bi Bo Be U Bu Bicky By Bo Bu.

[CosmicBob]

An average ALWAYS falls between the highest and the lowest of a set of values. So these three have an average between B and A-, and that's approximately B+.

[OldGuy]

Never mind, I see you're kidding.

[Bugaboo-migration]

Comic guys can't agree on a simple math problem? I thought nerds were supposed to be good with math.
