Ah, Geography ! – once my favourite subject, as it enabled me to matriculate by two marks. [grin]
Your version is far better than my 51 gained back in 1960.
In my day, one had to matriculate in order to get into university: this meant passing in subjects from 5 ‘sections’ – such as languages, science, maths/music, English, social sciences and others I’ve forgotten. I had English, French, Italian, Music and had to pass a subject in another section: getting 51 out of 100 marks completed my ‘matric.’. (Possibly the least practical collection of subjects ever known. Sighh .. No wonder I ended up in the entertainment industry !)
Love it. 🙂
My son sent it. Thought at first it was his two sibling kitties. But no, he found it online somewhere.

My problem with geography is they’ve changed so many countries’ names since I first learned them.
I’m not familiar with Aussie grading. What is two marks? And 51 … is that like total marks you earn to graduate?

Wow, quite the language buff, weren’t you? Did you use the French and/or Italian after you graduated?
