is there an unofficial mark scheme anywhere?
Here is my mark scheme. Only got hold of the paper today. It was indeed a long paper (even longer when you have to draw your own diagrams!)

Awesome cheers - anywhere from around 59-64 marks. I'm confident this is an A :smile:

You've left D out of your scheduling.

It's a lot tighter then.
For the algorithm question. Where they ask which value should be X. You wrote it was due to it being an integer. If I were to write as the x value would never equal zero sending the algorithm into an infinite loop, would that give me marks?
For the min bound for the gaant chart I still got 5 but I put the wrong time (6.5) and activities, would I lose both marks?

I think I did the same as you. I think there may be more than one time because I remember seeing two options but chose the earlier one so I think we're still both right.

Yeah, but looking at his chart there only seems to be one answer?
Was your time 6.5?

Lets pray this markscheme is wrong lol, but if it is right, do you think we'd drop one or two marks?
Apart from the scheduling that markscheme is all correct

Yes, you're correct I did miss D. Therefore 4 workers must be used. I have attached a possibility.

I've managed it in 3, but do tell me if I've made a mistake:

AEGIN (36)
BDJM (34)
CF (1 gap) H (1 gap) KL ((36)

What do you think grade boundaries will look like
55/56 for an a?

Wait I am confused. I used 4 workers in my last part but a lot of people say it can be done using 3. ???

I've done it with 3 (see above post) and I don't think I've made any mistakes. I used "latest start times" to choose which activity to start next.
Heya, you guys might be interested in this maths challenge which is related to D1 :yay: Might be a fun revision break :woo:
