    Question about internal marks

    Either way you need to do well in the externals. Edit: It's 50/50 weighting ratio between internals/externals for your overall mark..

    Need help with a question

    Yeah thanks heaps but what I don't understand is how you got the denominator in the line = [2 + 2√2]/[1+√2 - 1] Like I knew I had to flip it and multiply instead of divide, so I can see how you got [2 + 2√2] on the top, but how'd you get [1+√2 - 1] on the bottom? Cheers for the help

    Rush Hour 3

    Yeah the reviews were absolutely shit! The paper gave it 4/10! I'd give it an 8 or 9! It was awesome. Truly recommend it. The Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker factor is definitely still there. I agree completely!! On both points haha

    muck up day

    Are aren't allowed a muck up day anymore because it just got out of hand. But our school hasn't cut us off completely. They let us run the schools assembly on our last week, so we just do what we want in that. So we pretty much just use it to mock teachers and funny videos and acts and stuff...
