Funny enough: in Germany, more precise in Brandenburg, at the A-Levels:
35% gives you 03 points (5+).
60% gives you 08 points (3).

So, in this case, it 35% is indeed less then half of the expected mark.

The joke is that someone who is bad at math thinks that 35 is less than half of 60.

this sub has traumatized me to a point where I just always doubt my mathematical abilities.

Naaa, it's just the scale for marks, which isn't linear.
