Not really related but I remember reading that 1989 (especially the last question) is considered the hardest 4U paper ever written. As for the last 10 years I’d say 2010.

1989 last question was too hard, which was bad because that doesn't help in creating a ranking order, leaving aside how it makes the candidates feel.

Having removed 'harder 3u', the place with the opportunity for really challenging materials (IMO) is proof. The recent thread on second-order recursion illustrates one way the proof topic can be used to make challenging questions.
