Mathematics Applicants 2012

Maths challenge today was nice! I reckon a gold, minimum. I didn't like the fruit questions though, nor the last 2.

Oh dear, I didn't even read any of the questions on the last page. I feel like a subpar mathematician.

yeah i know its after school -_-

Well, most people love them. And I'm pretty sure it's a rather important aspect of degree level mathematics. IMHO.
(Hope I didn't offend you by lulling, I just found it funny for the reasons above! )

The first thing I did was flip to the last page They tend to be hard, but some of them are real gifts, particularly if you've seen something like them before!

Well i find them fascinating but when you have to prove something (esp trig) using identities and algebra i just cant do them!!
No its fine

I think it went ok (considering im not a maths genius or anything!!)
I answered 11 questions - hopefully all right but im not banking on it!!
What was the fruit question??



I read them, but read being the operative word as i didnt answer any of them....just scanned to see how hard they were!!!

Oh god I failed so much on that maths challenge T_T...the policy of only answering questiongs I'm sure are right didn't really work out...I only answered 13!!! Meaning if I get even one wrong...I don't get a gold T_T

And my younger brother answered "22 or 13 of them" apparently...**** this **** -_-

22 or 13? That's a big range LOL. Dw, it always seems to go worse than it really did, besides it's only a maths challenge, not like it is STEP (which we will r%^&).

Do you happen to have a copy? This is the first year since 2006 in which I haven't done the Senior Challenge

I do indeed. But I dont know how to scan it I will give it to a friend who can tommorow! How were your past attempts?

Yeah that's true, I thought you meant you didn't find them interesting! Dw, we will get better as we progress!

Oh no its amazing how some formulae are formed!!! Hopefully....i need to practise them....

11 correct would get a gold possibly? The 70% 85% 75% 60% one, I found that stupid. -.- With a calculator I could have done it maybe. Two of the back (22 and 23 I think) were really easy, one was trial and error, and the other was just a nice logic question based on some statements.

In that case... could you copy the entire paper out for us?

(Just joking, I'll kindly wait, and take the opportunity to work on my neglected chemistry work)

Ohhh that fruite question....i added up the bits minus 100 so 30,15,25,40 which made 90 so the answer was 10 i think......

Not too bad...
