Spoiler: synopsis
I've just finished watching the movie; it's basically a story in three acts.

The first is their introduction and their (mis)adventures on the train. Three brothers met on a train in India to partake on a spiritual journey. This is where most of the comedy is. The brothers have trust issues and when one leaves, the other two talked behind his back. They accidentally let a snake loose and almost got booted off the train. They got into a fight over who's their dad's favourite and did get booted off the train. They contemplated about it that night.

The second is when they rescued a group of children who fell to the water because of a snapped bridge. One fell through a waterfall and passed away. They took the child back to the village. The family tried to deal with grief.
On the funeral, there's a flashback to the brothers' dad's funeral. Their mother didn't attend. The oldest was told about this but lied to the other two. This is the reason he wants to go to India: to bring her home from nunship.

The third is their meeting with their mother. They'd cancelled a flight last-minute to do so. They told her they miss her; she told them the past's in the past; they said they're still not over it. After the four of them looked at each other for a while, they agreed to "try to enjoy each other's company in the morning" before she left the next day. The brothers went to blow on a peacock's feather to symbolise a new beginning (?) and caught a train in a similar way as the start of the movie (running to catch it), throwing their dad's bags in the process.

Overall, while I probably wouldn't call it dramatic, I think the emphasis is more on the drama side than the comedy side.
Guess: Left

guys I am so so so sorry that clue was absolutely terrible

what happened was after a lot of deliberation, I had landed on the clue of "revving a motorcycle engine" -> thinking this was super loud but not as loud as like, a jet engine or a massive explosion or whatnot

but then immediately after sending it in to Datisi I panicked thinking "NO IT'S TOO LOUD THEY'RE GONNA GO 90s" and sent him an immediate follow up DM 2 minutes later where I tried to adjust it down by changing it to a Vespa, but that was obviously a massive overcorrection and a Vespa engine definitely feels much more like 60s-70s range, I was feeling so bad immediately after that clue was sent in -_-

my fault, I screwed it up. Should have just stuck with my original clue, I even explicitly thought it'd be better to err on the side of too loud than too quiet, I just had a moment of panic and tried to update my clue and lost sight of how it'd look if you hadn't seen my whole thought process to get there.

I think the best clue would have been like - revving a
small
motorcycle engine, but my brain just borked and said "oh, a Vespa is like a small motorcycle!" buuuuut that was not a good way to think

here's the card for
ermine rainfall
:

low-efforthigh-effort


and the clue that your psychic, Morning Tweet, provided is:
Solving a few random questions from an American public school seventh grade algebra test


your team has (expired on 2021-08-07 14:40:00) to guess where the target is. it’s now up to you to discuss and determine where
Solving a few random questions from an American public school seventh grade algebra test
is on the spectrum from 0 to 100. 0 represents “low-effort” and 100 represents “high-effort".

Menalque
is your team’s current representative. remember to provide your final answer in this format:
guess: x
where x is between 0 and 100.

There'd definitely be a non-zero amount of effort involved; how much effort is going to vary, I think? Some people are good at math; others aren't.

At least when I was going to school, 7th grade was right around the time when the concept of algebra would be introduced. I don't know if that's still the case nowadays; if it is, I'd expect beginner-level algebra problems.

in europe at least, I remember algebra being introduced earlier. maybe fourth or fifth grade

although it was relatively simple stuff like 4 + x = 9 or whatever

grade 7 is like year 8 in the uk which is I think solving basic algebra like find x when (2x + 4y) / 3 = 28 and stuff, although it could be a bit more difficult/easy than that

however, I wonder if we're thinking about this too technically.

algebra = relatively hard thing for most people
7th grade = implies relative ease, 7th grade problems are not so challenging compared to, say, 3rd grade problems
solving a few = neither completing the entire thing, nor doing only 1
American public school test = not the education system noted for being the most rigorous (e.g. Singapore) nor for being that terrible, and a test is less rigorous than an exam

all of this is making me think that it's somewhere around the middle? personally, I'd go slightly left, like maybe 35? because I don't think that solving problems from that age range would be that arduous, but it should still be a little tricky and there's a few of them to do, and many people are liable to be rusty on algebra. the fact that the wording seems to imply middling actually makes me kinda wanna bump it up to 40

@Datisi
does going through your school textbook to find the algebra problems you solved in 7th grade considered doing research

edit: wait, can guessers even do research
