Module Example
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Dim scores() = _
{ Tuple.Create("Jack", 78.8, 8), _
Tuple.Create("Abbey", 92.1, 9), _
Tuple.Create("Dave", 88.3, 9), _
Tuple.Create("Sam", 91.7, 8), _

Tuple.Create("Penelope", 82.9, 8), _
Tuple.Create("Linda", 99.0, 9), _
