i got 1/36 for the first part....

Sorry but what's the answer for the sine rule question? Wtf I forgot the rule and had to do it differently:/

same

Yeah, that's right.

 

[heytherewhatsup]

for the probability question I got 1/36 and 36/71 for lastt part Sth like that not sure if right tho:/

I had a weird stroke of genius, and made pat's winnings a geometric series:
(1/36) + (1/36)^2 + (1/36)^3

Then just applied the limiting sum, and i got 1/35 I think.

How can the chance of him winning be that low lol

lucky bastard...i worked out 1-pat loosing which was some giant fraction...:/

Don't worry, the reaction of most of us leaving the exam at Baulko: "WHAT THE FUCK, THAT WAS HARD."

serious, you guys found it hard as well ?

 

[churnitout]

ur right....used the right method....i'm SCREWED...geometric series is right

They were 1/36 to begin with lol

yes ! Thank god I'm not the only one who did that

 

[Randox]

Its compared to the other person winning. Isn't his chance plus the other persons chance of winning =1?

 

[talcum]

Can someone do working for the probability one? Just wondering

I really hope it's correct.

So much curve sketching and graphing. Gah. And what the heck was up with the Trout question.

Yeah everyone seems to find curve sketching, stationary point questions easier so they didn't put any this year.

There's a separate thread for this

So how did everyone's graph in the trout question look like?

Same as me. 8 is B not C. wasnt thinking properly. Also 10 is debatable as to whether its b or d
