Desperate undergrads pray to 'bell curve god'

 
SINGAPORE - It seems desperate undergraduates at a local university are willing to do whatever it takes to help them in their exams - including giving offerings to the "Bell Curve God". The bell-curve refers to a grading method where students' grades are assigned based on the relative performance of their peers. A netizen, SanFran, found photos of a make-shift "shrine" installed in one hostel room, with offerings of biscuits, cup noodles and other snacks placed on it. The photos were taken during the year-end exam season. One picture even shows a sign hung up on the ceiling, that "cursed" whoever entered the room without a food offering for the "Bell Curve God".
