The container A has all coloured fishes, and container B has 500 coloured and 500 uncoloured (Have you ever seen guppy with no colour?) fishes. Then they allowed them for reproduction and continuously evaluated the number of coloured and uncoloured fingerlings (Fish offsprings) for several generations.

So why these teachers/professors are expecting students to do their best in such situations? In other words, since students can’t express their full potential in examinations, why do we even need such systems?
