    only 89 :) (exam mark) 4 people that would have no problem getting 80.. and some of them probably thinks that the 80 means 80%... Very confident we are aren't we :D

    Easy Inequality

    In one of the HSC questions, it was given that: a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a+b+c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^3 - ab - bc - ca) That probably came from the expansion, so work it out from there :D

    Imagine the speed in which he is writing, turning the page in the exam time... then imagine the poor person sitting next to him last year on the exam date :D

    Please, never refer to that band as band 4, Use the E in front of it. It sounds depressing to me without the E, especially that it's probably what i'll get for my english (standard here :() Oh and I think you don't need that much (80) to get band E4? Last year I got 89 with very...

    oic.. looks like we have few people in this thread that aims/aimed for 99s, and probably few watchers too :D

    If you weren't allowed, how are you supposed to prove it?

    Question about 3u.

    I *think* 83% or around gives 96 exam mark (aligned), because that's probably what I got last year. 83% is probably a fair guess, but I could have scored something like 87% or 90%, so you never know... I actually wonder how much you need to get 99 in 4u too... I'm thinking 80%?

    Quick question

    You can calculate by using a ruler and a calculator to see the percentile. However at the top (which what you'll probably get anyways) the bar graph is that tiny, it is hard to count..

    I want the hardest 2003 4unit paper

    Some people just do it for the purpose of scaling, or were overconfident that they only have 10 units. I mean, my maths teacher (who is strictly chinese), has been trying to force this guy to drop, but can't because he only has 10 units. So there he is, becoming someone you can rely on to...

    Most difficult 4u q?

    But sometimes some wildcard teacher just turned up to a public school to raise a group of lvl 99 4unit students out of ordinary kids.. for fun :)

    Most difficult 4u q?

    I think he meant "strong induction", (Bill Pender's term), for example fibonacci sequence, that for k+1 to be true, k-1 and k has to be true.

    I want the hardest 2003 4unit paper

    Morning, if anyone here has excel 50 tips can you tell me the order in which the author wrote the easiest to hardest? I got 50 tips book, bought from rahul, but the first pages are missing due to repeated printing loops (screwed up book). At least it was at a discount price ;)

    Sure, you can gamble for marks in question 8s by spending learning different proofs, just for an extra 0.1 scaled mark for your UAI calculation :D

    nth-root of unity question

    It should be right, because skunk proved that it's equal to zero. Maybe i'll have to find a quick way of explaining that, for exam conditions... If only everyone's active in the morning instead of late night, my eyes are so sleepy :p
