Was easy I guess but I am not expecting a 9 anymore. Last question was hard (probably scrapped 2 marks, 3 marks if I am lucky) and I missed the question with the special condition that can be handled by Caesar cipher. Some of my answers were pretty vague also. I probably lost 10-15 marks in the paper.

Also I was not sure how to fully answer the 24 bit depth question. I explained that approximately 16 million colours could be used and that was it.

1. 300 x 200= 60000 Pixels
2. 24 Colour bit depth gives approximately 16 million colours.

It was 200x300, and is it a problem if you didn’t write pixels after it?

Can someone remind me of what the last question was again?
Also, according to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors, the answer to the hexadecimal colour conversion one is 5F 9E A0, which is good since I believe I got that if memory serves.

Is that a 3 mark answer? I put that either the user can press a button or it turns on after a certain time (I put 6 pm).
