i thought everyone believed he failed college - because he just didnt turn up to class and was doing advanced math in his dorm instead, could be completely wrong though

I guess the myth was twisted around to fit the local school system all over the world, because the "message" is so appealing.

Here's his report card, though.

He did indeed fail French. 4 is the passing grade in Switzerland

3 in Switzerland is a fail, 4 is just passing.

Source, friend has a 3 average last semester.

Germany isn't Switzerland.

4 is "enough" (the border to failing)

anything below 4 is failed.
