It must have been your "sneaking suspicion" that made me pass- it normally wouldn´t happen. It never happened before.....
To be honest: I could have known that I passed. Being superstitious I made a bet with myself. If the german soccer team beats Argentina in the World Cup quarter final, I would pass. Like an omen. And Germany won 5:3. And 5 plus 3 are...yes, 8, exact the amount of points I had.
