So there is no math involved? You just look at Lea's higher rank? Cause I tried doing the math and when I did I got Maurice instead @peachpi

The math is basically understanding how percentiles work. Being in the 47th percentile means that she scored better than 47% of the class. Maurice scored better than 45% of the class.
