Can’t argue with the logic, at least.

That’s what makes it funny. Baldrick’s not wrong, he’s just wrong.

It took about 5 minutes of prompting, hints and directions before she got the answer. Then she could not work out the equivalent value for the 2 out of 4 with genotype Ss. Where do you start to help someone like that? Is there any hope of real progress?
