Zero based scoring
Why are the new GCSE scores 1 to 9 (9 is best) ?
The Germans are proud to say they received "eins" = 1 which is their best.
And anyway, Edsger Dijkstra argues from research on bugs found using the Mesa programming language that numbering should begin at 0.
Can we move to 0 to 7 (or even 0x0 to 0xF for failed/ungraded) when the GCSE computing scores switch to numbers from letters ?
A perfect exam paper's answers would have 0 errors.
