Why not, his hypothesis could solve most of mathematics' fundamental problem. Also the ternary goldbach conjecture would be proven IF the general reinmann hypothesis is correct.

It would seem so, but more importantly, if the Reimann hypothesis is actually correct (which is probably is) it proves Robin's theorem is correct as well.

I did my trial back to front. Was actually simpler than in order, but that's just me.

Re: order

Doing things in order is usually the way to go, there are good reasons for that

1) Difficulty generally increases with question number.
2) Less attention devoted to keeping track of parts not completed.

Re: order

Hmm, this isn't really advice, just the way I tend to go about exams.

During reading time, I tend to pick out all the questions I know I can do. When the exam starts I do those first, from back to front, while I'm still thinking straight, and less likely to make easy mistakes. Once I'm happy with them, I start spending time on the ones I'm not so sure about.

The ones I'm not sure about tend to tax my head, and I'd rather make easy mistakes on stuff I might get right, instead of making them on stuff I should get right.

Re: order

lol generally in reading time i flip around check out all the questions and teh question 8, which takes about a minute.. the remaining 4 minutes i look at the circle geo... usually i finish it before the actual exam starts (not on paper of course) ... nifty eh?

as for actual order... integrations always first.. so i do that...
graphs usually 2nd so i do that... then i usually find the induction/reduction questions and do those... followd by conics, mechanics, whatever else is there and finally question 8 .. unless question 8 isnt hard..

Re: order

I always just do it in order, during reading time I used it to skim through the paper, check out the Q8, the mechanics, conics questions. Attempted to do them in my head and hopefully the method comes out in my head.

I timed it so that I would finish the first 6 questions in the first 1.5 hours then the rest on Q7 and Q8 and rechecking got me through my tests
