Be positive. :biggrin:

Which Cambridge blue is it? There's the 3rd week blue, which I had; the 5th week blue which almost everyone had; then there's the nth week blue where n is a natural number.

OK Shuai, can you prove by induction that depression occurs during every week of every Cambridge term? You may use the well-ordering principle.

Sadly, there's not much preparation you can do. But one thing to keep in mind is that under no circumstances should you talk :smile:

. If you do that, you'll definitely get rejected.

No I can't, because the set of happy weeks is non empty (for some portions of human race).

Indeed!

Katie and I both had two interviews this morning, the first one which was with two interviewers went umm, ok-ish :redface:

...Basically got asked two questions, one on mechanics, which was ok, and the other on probability, which I struggled with :frown:

. The second interview was waaaaaaaay better - again, mechanics and stats questions only :rolleyes:

, but the interviewer seemed a lot friendlier and it went much better.

I hate tryin to sell myself! i'll let u kno afterwards how it went. xxx
