I really scre*** up

Today I received a text from the world's most perfect teenager during school hours. Knowing that he would find out his test score from the math test he took on Monday, I was excited. Since this is the first year and first exam of the Diploma Programme, I do not have 100% control over how they grade the exams.

When the texts came from Junior it said quotes "45 out of 46" "one point from a 5th" "😔" unquotes. I, being a bit overexcited, perceived it as he had got 45 correct answers out of a possible 46, which was COMPLETELY wrong. But, before I got the text clarified, I had time to call both my parents and in-laws and brag about the offspring's amazing performance.

When Junior got home he explained that he had scored 45 points out of a total of 62 points which meant a grade of 4 out of 7 on the test. His improvement from year 10 when he was closer to a 3rd and is now 1 point from a 5th is good after all. But I made Junior promise me quote "don't tell your grandparents, you have to get a 7 on the next test instead" unquote.

Another impossible task.
