If a student stands second in the test,
\n" ); document.write( "there is \"red%281%29\" student before (or above) him/her.
\n" ); document.write( "I assume it means the second student in the list,
\n" ); document.write( "called second to be questioned in an oral test.
\n" ); document.write( "Or maybe that student's score was the second best among the students who appeared for the test.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If that student stands eighth from the bottom,
\n" ); document.write( "it means there are \"7\" other students below (or after) him/her.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Counting that \"green%281%29\" student who stands second in the test,
\n" ); document.write( "plus the \"red%281%29\" student before (or above) him/her,
\n" ); document.write( "plus the \"7\" other students below (or after) him/her,
\n" ); document.write( "then the total number of students who appeared for the test is
\n" ); document.write( "\"green%281%29%2Bred%281%29%2B7=highlight%289%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
