My plagiarism-accusation paper scored 31.8%; no wonder it aroused the professor's British sense of suspicion. Interestingly, the term paper I wrote in three hours the morning of its due date scored 24.3%. I can only conclude that I transform into a robot under pressure.
...Or not. Four thousand words of recent creative writing scored 19.8%. Dude. I should write a story about robots and see what happens.

I just threw in the entire, unedited 50,000 words of my NaNoWriMo entry for 2004 and scored 91.8%. There are giant paragraphs in there that comprise nothing but multiple rephrasings of the same sentence, the narrative begins hemorrhaging adverbs from a thesaurus-inflicted wound halfway through, and I think most of the last 20,000 words are involved in some kind of incestuous breeding cycle.
Indeed, no robot could manage that.
