You should definitely give it a go, especially since you mentioned you have a passion for maths. I also believe having one of the Arnolds teaching you is a serious bonus. My own MX2 teacher said he was leagues ahead of him in terms of both mathematical ability, and skill at teaching the course...

I think I'm the first person from my school to do the UMAT this decade, possibly ever. Sub 500 ranked school represent mofos.

Pretty much.

Awww yeah Section EE represent

Well I was quite absorbed in that balloon... I don;t even know what time i got in. Another funny thing was when everyone first started lining up out the front of the hall, I had just stopped walking to talk a look around and ended up in the middle of the line.

Oh yeah, I think I saw you walk past a couple of times. it is truly a small world out there

Re: 2012 HSC MX2 Marathon Can graphs be used in inequality type questions to show how 1 curve may be larger than the other or are always greater than a specific value? For example, in cutemouse's question, Just by manipulating the values of a_{k} and a_{k+1} and then using the fact that 2^k <...

Re: 2012 HSC MX2 Marathon Just to make it slightly easier, reduce the deck number to 1, and we are only considering it to be a win if both players are below 22. (im not sure if this makes it easier or harder) EDIT: And yes, this is becoming worse and worse as I think about it. What's the...

Re: 2012 HSC MX2 Marathon Alright! Time for a (possibly ridiculous) Probability question. Jack and Michael are playing a game of blackjack, using 8 standard decks. i. How many two card selections are there: a) in total? b) that will have blackjack? ii. What is the probability of: a) only one...
