65% is usually the boundary between pass and fail.

But again, I may be overgeneralizing myself.  I just heard that there are
about 64,000 primary public (State) schools in the U.S., and while they
are not all autonomous, the number of school districts must be within a
fairly small factor of that.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
