No, I could've done way better but I complete flopped the last question; I know because apparently after sitting the paper someone pointed out that the last question was the same as the 2009 paper, I checked my answers and I got them all wrong because I forgot to convert diameter to radius and straight up dropped 8 marks ;-;

I only knew how to do that question because I did a course on fluid mechanics.
