In the admissions committee of one of the universities (Ukraine) Davetcha observed the "classic" picture: a mother receives a daughter. The young virgin (even seemingly too young) diligently fills the papers, and her mother periodically sows her photocopies.
The breakdown of the pattern came at the time when the average score of the certificate (to say, dated 1992) was recounted from a five-point scale to a twelve-point scale. It turns out that the daughter is going to mother!
