Also by convention, 100 is the last (if available) of the remedial 
courses for a topic.

101 isn't usually the "for noobs" section, but rather the "first course 
appropriate for college" level.

If you've failed to master high school material, then you'll probably 
have to go through 60, 70, 80, 90, and occasionally a 100 course to make 
sure you can handle the college courses.

At least, that's the theory.  In reality they often get weird numbers 
(like 126 being the first course in a series, or 110 the first of another).
