The total

The average of the events

Each event is logged, measured by you. Each result falls within a range of the table, which gives its mark; beyond 10 pull-ups and 35 push-ups, the table says nothing.

Passed from an average of 3.6, according to the scale.

What this page doesn't say

Because the source doesn't say it

the grade beyond 10 pull-ups and 35 push-ups: the table writes “10” and “35”, without “und mehr” (“or more”).
