Hi, I can't remember the title of the book I did read as a kid (in a different language)
here is what I remember
1. people were paid in points they stored on a "key" - red (everyone got equal number of red), blue (blue were given based on mental category 9-0 with 0 being the highest) and yellow which people earned on a job. lets say medical services available to people with only red points weren't any good (there is a reference to it in the book)
2. main character hides "under the radar" by being category 4 (not stupid but not smart enough to yield employment) and helps people cheat qualification exams
3. latter in the book he discovers that 0 class is not "the highest" that it is a start of the uppers scale 0 to x (9 to 0 scale is actually -9 to 0)
4. if I can remember there is some conspiracy where the upper levels of government cancelling the fact that they have to cooperate with aliens (not sure about that)
5. in the last part of the book (if I remember correctly, someone tells him "now pull this world, that's why I gave you the strength"
its killing me that I can't remember the name of it - thanks
