What did people put for the screws in a bag question. It's been a bit of a disagreement between some people in my class🤣

68 and 65

Was it not 68 and 65.3 so you round up to 66?

Yes that’s why you round up to 66 as 65 will go below tolerance

Reply 44

66 will be over the tolerance and you cant go above it so youll have to round down as you cannot get 0.3 of a screw

Here's the thing that I had said because a few people had put the same as you but I put 68 and 66;

Pretty much the lowest and highest the bag could weigh is 196 and 204

If you did it right and got to 65.2 then rounded it down to 65, the overall bag weight would be 195 (65x3g the weight of each screw) which is then out of the -2% tolerance. I'm curious if anyone else did the same as me because I thought it was kinda one of those trick questions. (unless i read the question wrong which is possible)

But it is within the tolerances so it is fine and you cannot go out at 53

Same but a problem with the final question is that you had to assume the other hypotenuse is the same as the 25 cm one. I got 553.66cm

Why are you complaining about no design movements 😭 Personally I'm glad to have gone through this without having to talk about Walter ******* Gropius

Bro it was an amazing and easy paper but it had potential to be so much better, grade boundaries are gonna be so high. I pray for the people who failed their NEA's lmao
