Curved grading Memes

The eternal dance of physics education: professor reviewing torque equations while students engage in the far more practical application of prayer mechanics . Notice the blackboard shows τ = r × F (torque equals radius times force), but the real force in the room is desperation. The curved grading scale—physics' only true act of mercy. Like gravity bending spacetime, professors occasionally bend grade distributions, but only after watching students suffer through three impossible exam questions and one "gimme" that everyone still gets wrong.
