There seems to be mixed thoughts on to whether you can use VB as a calculator in this exam. Since it doesn't directly address it in the rules of the exam. Soooooooo I'm confused in that regard.

Just do it. It's called making best use of the resources and my teacher said you could so... :biggrin:

Also anyone have any tips to wake up? I only got 4 hours of badly interrupted sleep last night which sucks because this exam probably requires the most thinking out of any including maths. I've had a cold shower (surprisingly effective), done some exercise but now I'm lost for ideas?

I don't have the solution, but all you do is add a variable called lives as integer = 2. Then whenever the player loses you check if lives = 0, if it does then gameover, but if not, you subtract 1 from it :smile:

Oh my god thank you! :biggrin:

Ive tried that though and it messes up the scores because the scores rely on the noofrecentscores and that constantly increases so it take it as you getting the points. would you also subtract lives from all the scores? thank you so much for the quick reply!!!!

You don't need to subtract lives. You can either create a separate variable for the scores or you could keep adding the scores even if they lose a life. Keeping them adding is easier, because you don't have to change anything :smile:

Was quite a nice exam, wish I looked at your solutions for probability so annoyed I didn't look at it!! That grey code algorithm took me ages! And section C was quite hard. The joker question was weird but I got it in the end! Hopefully got a B

I felt that was a good exam. The dry run was a bit confusing. I put that it converts to binary?

I said it converts to the grey code equivalent??

Oh maybe, I forgot all about Gray code!

Well I'm a tit. Kept the type of value I was returning for my probability as an integer, hence why it went from 1 to 0 for every follow on card. (I was doing % and then re-read the question and omitted to change it back to float)

Wasn't a bad exam I guess, apart from all the wrong answers :frown:

Yup, I think it was Gray Code :smile:

I'm actually retarded. I got the negative denary wrong for Section A because I accidently typed -54 instead of -74, and I got the binary point question wrong because I read it as 5 bits in front :frown:

I had 30 mins left at the end and I still didn't check!! :cry:
