OCR (non mei) D1 Wednesday 15th June 2016

I've been looking like a complete tit for the past hour by saying 'Percy Li' in a variety of different tones, accents, volumes and speeds in order to see if OCR chucked in another pun (remember Roland Kneede the baker and Rhoda Raghe the avid driver with a horrendously contrived surname?). Anybody made any progress?

iirc the question was about road maintenance?

It was about railways and track maintenance, I thought it was a little shoutout to Thomas the Tank Engine which was going through my head during the exam :tongue:

Woah...

Maybe the Chinese surname is an allusion to the Chinese Postman algorithm (which was the basis of the question)? The plot thickens....

Yeah, I swear another of the people mentioned in the question was named Gordon too, although I might just be imagining things at this point :tongue:

Maybe it's an anagram or something more subtle. Cry pile, C1 made me want to join a cry pile

I saw yours, I planned to save mine but got pressed for time (damn q4). I dunno about some of them though I recall getting 89 for 6 part something I see you got 88 - that may have just been a typo. But yeah hopefully someone else can verify things

Don't fret! Just move on and concentrate on c3 + 4! No point stressing when you can't change it, but I bet you'll surprise yourself on results day <3

There wasnt a 6iiib think you mean a question on 7, i put through L 7 times I believe, as it had 6 arcs and one repeated through it, wasnt 100 percent on it though
