回复: Re: Australian Mathematics Competition

Yeah, I usually bomb these Maths Comps. Usually a combination of me not giving a damn and I also suck at problem solving. Never ever get HDs, but I usually do ok in school maths, so heh.
some guy in my school got HD and does general math.... so yea the comp... doesnt mean anything lol

Arghhh i reckon this year's paper was harder than last years :S. The senior paper is anyway...i guessed like 10 questions.
Question 27 looked really interesting...but I didn't have time to finish it -_-

Re: Australian Mathematics Competition

This was the first time I ever competed and oh boy... it was the hardest test I ever took... by far!
Are these tests usually consistent in difficulty each year? What kinds of raw marks get HD's, D's and credits? I did the senior exam btw.

Re: How did u go in the Australian Maths Competition?

today (6-8-09) i did my intermediate AMC test.This is just a thread to see which question u were stuck on ...q26-30:mad: i need help on dem,, and ye just a general chat on how u went in the AMC test.
I did the intermediate paper too. I thought the first 20 were easy (except i am a bit apprehensive about 17). Question 21 was stupid! I put (E), what bout yous?

Questions 22, 23 and 24 were pretty easy and 25 was a bit hard. Question 26 was easy the answer is 419, i didnt have enough time to work on 27, 28. I got 231 for 29 and didnt do 30.

Re: How did people go in the maths comp today?

I had to do the Senior Paper although I'm in yr 10 (accelerant). This is what I think I got:
1 - 10: 30 marks
11-20: 24 marks (Really hard for some reason =/)
21 - 30: 10 + 13 marks

= 77 marks.

What does this become around?

No ;P

Could you post them possibly? (some of them could be the same so perhaps you could just kinda explain which ones or something)

Re: Australian Mathematics Competition

I reckon more like 70-80 for yr 12 and 60-70 for yr 11. I reckon the Senior Division was harder than past Senior Divisions

Umm, I remember 27 so I'll try explaining that one.

27. A number is called Ascending if the digits are increasing. Eg. 123 and 2356 is ascending but 749 or 7799 is not. Find a 3 digit number that is Ascending and also has the property that 6n where n is the number is Ascending.

Re: How did u go in the Australian Maths Competition?

this is bs lol, i worked it out just like kurt.physics but instead of taking 1 off of x at the end i added it. and for question 29, im fairly sure that i got it right, but even if i did, it won't matter because i put that answer in the box for question 30. :bomb:

oh noes, all the answers that i thought were right suddenly seem like they were wrong.

How was it? I personally found it harder than earlier years.
Feel free to discuss the test or any of the questions.
Did anyone confidently solve the last 5 questions?
