It's more likely to be 9A+ than 8C+ in my mind. Given the relative amount of time and Nalle's level, but no one grades like that. You bump up one at a time.
It's one of the (many) reasons why Gaskins problems are a bad example.
If you take as a base fact that Gaskins did everything he says (I recon he did
) then his problems are likely to be way harder than he graded them, since he graded in a bubble and it's less scary to claim one grade up at a time. If he'd given Il Pirata or Shadowplay 9A in whenever it was it would have been insane.
General everything I say is bollocks disclaimer goes here
