He needs to vacate clancy as well
UNSW is the one where you can tell it's coming in a week.. because all the maths books in the library go mysteriously missing all at once...

if u haven't already noticed, i'm always on the right hand side of every equation

computer-types are probably not allowed from memory... but the crazy thing is, one year they repeated a question, and someone just copied the proof out from a book... Fick's formula I think (the inside points/boundary points/area one).

^_^

and I have no idea what is allowed. :-\
All I know is that question 1 was easy, and question 5 looks interesting. Too bad I have exams next week, or I'd give myself 3 hours to see how I go.

[turtle_2468]

Drawing equipments are always useful... however I couldn't draw.... hence no prize nor award.

 

[turtle_2468]

I can't draw either... I sympathise with your situation

Hahaha, I only found out that the competiton was on only 20 minutes before I started. The teacher in charge knew about it like a month before but it slipped his mind to notify me. I only found out when my ancient history teacher asked me what's this maths competition you're doing according to the absentee sheet. So i got off the last 3 periods to do it.

Anyway, armed with no textbooks, I had a go at this surprise exam. Q1 was straightforward. Q2a was just an induction question. Q2b I got up to a point where i had to find 2 consecutive squares that add up to another perfect square, but I only solved it afterwards. Q3 was easy, just threw in Heron's formula. Q4 i did but I made a very stupid mistake on it. Q5 was easy if u chucked complex numbers in. And Q6 I didn't really have a go at.

This one I sorta found a bit easier than last year's, except that I figured some of it out after the exam. Hopefully I did enough to get a good score.

I could waste my time trying to type the Q's all up if anyone wants.

hehe, Archman got all but the last.
He went off to Athens to compete in the International Mathematical Olympiad last friday, I think.

lol
