This one made me laugh. Thanks for the nuance there Woody. I caught it at least...
So you got about 40 yards and quit?

10-12 is too much of a gap for a 100 meter race. A good runner will fall within 10-11 seconds.

Do you mean your car got 4.59 for 100 meters but while you were driving at like 30mph?

You're in 5.25th grade?!

I like this '10 seconds is a good time' stuff. Some guys who end up in the Olympics can't run that fast.
Anything between 11 and 12 seconds is probably in the top couple of percent. I'd class that as good.
I've not been timed over 100m since I was 12 with 12.3s, there were 2 guys in my year who ran 11.7s. That's out of about 150 of us.

To compete at a high level in high school track here in Wisconsin, you'd have to run somewhere in the low 11s. The fastest kids in the state ran in the high 10s. That being said, you could probably run 12-12.5 and the track coach still might run you, you just wouldn't place very much. IIRC, I ran somewhere around 13, good thing I wasn't a 100 runner (400 was my event).

Apparently in my country the running marks are fascist. You got to be low 10 for an A.

Time to try out for the bowling league, it seems.

That makes no sense. I think you meant n=5i-7, which would then give us -2+3+8=9th grade.
You haven't had practice fleeing the police? You sure you're black?

If you can't do it in less than 10 seconds you're not an Olympic gold medallist.
Wouldn't it be 5*3-7=8? Isn't the i=1 only there to tell you where to start your series? I'm not sure of this but I think that's how it goes.

That big E sign (sigma) is used to denote a summation. So you add all 3 numbers, which comes out to be 5*6 - 3*7 = 9.
I don't think you "have" to add up all of them, maybe. That's not how I learned it but. Yeah, I was going for 8.

Well, this is math, not literature. Symbols map injectively towards definitions. What the text meant holds supreme. What was meant by the author when he/she had written the text is secondary, or worse, irrelevant.
Edit: bleh, spell-check erroneously changed 'injectively' to 'invectively'.
