I did Hamilton today and found it easier than expected. I finished all questions about 20 min early. Fingers crossed for my solution writing...
Just done the grey kangaroo, it was alright.....
Ive got a copy of the paper with me, my teacher is nice.

I finished the questions with 15min to spare but 1 was probably the easiest because all you had to know was how to find a multiple of 8 and a multiple of 9.

If it is a multiple of eight, then the last 3 digits are a multiple of eight and if it is a multiple of 9, the digits add to a multiple of 9.

Therefore with some working out, b = 2 and a = 3

Oh okay thanks!! I think I had a few marks for that...wow you finished all of them! I had a bit of a problem with time! What about q4 and 6?? Others I'm pretty confident on I think
