It just isn't part of my culture as a member of the mathematically illiterate minority at Harvard...
...intricate math weren't tricky enough, the logic behind the QRR is only more puzzling. The most useful applications of the test are to figure out grade point averages and to determine who blew the curve on a mid-term. I don't think increasing competition in this already too-intense place is responsible. People are a lot nicer when they don't care about grades because they can't figure them...
