Lol really!? It's dangerous compared to having caffeine this late lol. On a real note I'm like as awake as an owl and I'm kinda in the mood to work.

Well if you're high on caffeine I doubt it makes much of a difference tbh. Good luck sleeping tonight then:rolleyes: You might as well go for the all nighter, see if you can last the whole night doing maths:colone:
Are you doing c1 edexcel or is this gcse?

I remember one night I was up so late playing games, then at about 5 I got bored and saw a maths paper next to me and thought **** it might as well have a go....
I was out before I could even turn the first page.
See it's dangerous I tell you:colonhash:

Well, I don't really know if it's actually in the spec or if it's just my teacher being over the top lol.
Some are simple but some are tricky but not all can be proved is what I remember.
Yeah no proofs for indicies but yes indicies normally come up at the very start of the paper.
I think you should go to sleep, its dangerous to do maths at this time.

I did maths at 2am once and boy thats another story for another night.
