Lesson quiz · five questions, in a new order every time

Five questions on lesson 8 of Anatomy of a diamond. The questions and the answers to pick from come in a new order every time you start.

  ### Show the answer
  **b**: Straight through the table, in the middle of the pattern.
4. Question 4: The T73 with a Medium culet grades Very Good. What's the largest culet that still allows Excellent?
  ### Show our answer
