X got an 8. Y got a 3. X made it. Y didn't. What am I talking about? My first one, guys, and a quickie at that, too. Should be easy. | ||

Are X and Y H?A?M? "made it" as in: constructed something? attained a goal? ("I finally made it to the end of my journey") | ||

Are the numbers measurements or identifiers? | ||

Are X and Y H? Yes A? No M? Not necessarily "made it" as in: constructed something? No attained a goal? ("I finally made it to the end of my journey") No | ||

Are the numbers measurements or identifiers? What exactly do you mean by 'identifiers'? Should be the former, though. | ||

Would this work if X got 7 and if Y got 3? If Y got 8 and X got 3, would Y have made it? Do 8 and 3 refer to years? Years of presidency? Years in jail? | ||

By "identifiers," I mean several things, one of which was considered the third and another the eight of a series. For example, the uniform numbers that identify sports players or military units. If a measurement is intended, is the same thing being measured in both cases? Is it a measurement of: Distance? Speed? Power? Size? Number of objects in a group? Was it only possible for one of them to make it? Is a competition involved? Does "it" refer to a physical object or location? If so, is there more than one -- ie, if Y had also made it, would there be two "its?" | ||

If a measurement is intended, (which it is) is the same thing being measured in both cases? yes Is it a measurement of: Distance? Speed? Power? Size? None of these Number of objects in a group? not number of objects as such, but you're OTRT Was it only possible for one of them to make it? no Is a competition involved? no Does "it" refer to a physical object or location? no If so, is there more than one -- ie, if Y had also made it, would there be two "its?" see above | ||

X and Y are not adults. Are they children? Is this a school test? Part of a childhood pastime (like trying out for sports)? Is this a true story? If not, could it really happen? Are the location and time period relevant? Anyone else relevant? | ||

Are X and Y teens? Toddler? Babies? Do 8 and 3 refer to weight? Was X born weighing 8lb, and Y born weighing 3lb, which is too small to survive: so only X "made it"? | ||

Are X and Y teens? Toddler? Babies? This one Do 8 and 3 refer to weight? No Was X born weighing 8lb, and Y born weighing 3lb, which is too small to survive: so only X "made it"? No, but you're very much OTRT and getting closer to the answer | ||

Is "made it" used in the sense of "survived"? Are 8 and 3 the babies' Apgar scores? I think they get up to 2 points for each of five categories, with higher scores being better, so a baby with an 8 would be doing quite well, while a 3 would be really bad. | ||

I think they get up to 2 points for each of five categories, with higher scores being better, so a baby with an 8 would be doing quite well, while a 3 would be really bad. Yep, you got it. ******************SPOILER********************** 8 and 3 are the APGAR scores of the two babies. The score is calculated within minutes of birth in five categories (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity and Respiration) from a scale of 0 to 2 each, thus totalling to 10. A score of 7 to 10 is considered normal, 4 to 6 is bad, and 1 to 3 is critical. Told you it was a quickie. | ||

Ha! Interesting. I'd never heard of APGAR scoring before. |
