5. Are you wondering about the title of the book?
IIT uses a unique method of scoring students
called Grade Point Average(GPA).
The score one gets is based on the performance
of the entire class.
The top performer would get somewhere in
high 9 point something and the bottom
performers would be in 5 point something.
Such people are disdainfully referred to as
5pointers and thus the title of the book
“Five Point Someone”
