I thought this was total magic in high school until my college's intro to probability class discussed this before the midterm. I guess maths progression in college can be fast.

I think high school is constrained by having to normalize the curriculum over the entire population, but college (I take that to mean university) has more leeway to teach you what they like, and make it harder. Plus you are only studying 1-2 subjects.
