What makes you so distinct btw? I am curious what could be more weird than being a 6'4'' giant.

Btw for the record I am not a manlet, I am 5'10'' and still growing.

Did my first paper in ages today, got like 85 in step 1 2013 so need to shake off the rust, enjoyed the paper though good break from m3 and chemistry

How did you find the integral question? It was pretty nice wasn't it? One reason why I love integral questions is due to their structure. You first get asked to compute an easy and standard integral and then use ingenuity and creativity to evaluate a more difficult integral by the end. The more complicated the integrand is, and the simpler its closed form, the more beautiful the question is.

(I am not directly talking of the STEP I 2013 integral question right now, although an average example of beauty, there have been more beautiful results. I am kind of rambling about my love of STEP integral questions so I don't have to go to sleep lol.)

Well I didnt **** up I was just angry Yeh I got fulls to Q1,3,4,6,7,8(dropped some here due my me doubting myself ****ing domains). And ****ed up q2 cause I read the question wrong and did the whole questions for -3 to 3. Still fuming

First part was just observation so no problems there, my working got pretty messy for the second half, although the composite functions question or the floor function question were my favourites this year, although the integration is usually relatively relaxing

116 lol I didn't **** up I was just angry at myself.i know it's a good score i just misread an easy question which everyone probably got right lol. Q2 btw.

Yeh the integral was one if the easiest integrals I have done it literally was a 10 minute job.

I didn't say I did awful, I just said I am angry for misreading a question. I was just pissed at me messing up that question.
