Description

Kinda sorta requested by a Background Pony.
 
The joke is that corundum is 9 on the Mohs hardness scale of minerals while quartz is only 7.

Hydis

The hardness scale was created by geologist Friedrich Mohs. Seems they couldn’t come up with any horse puns. Have there been any other instances where the name of a human got into the show?

That… is actually a pretty intelligent joke. Maud is climbing my ladder of favoritism.  
(For those who don’t know, Mohs Hardness scale is how they test the hardness of rocks.)

You did it! Yay!
 
So is Maud making a funny about school being hard, or just stating a fact she learned?
