I did far too much on the 3 markers lmao. I wrote like 8 bullet points telling the technician what to do for both of those 3 markers. I went on the back for both of them as well...

I got 184 for the speed of the rocket, I got 0.63 for the current of transformer, for the amount of days I think I got 140 days or somthing like that, for the fusion per second question I got 4.6x10^20, for the graph I got 21% I said the frequency was 3.5 million and for the fat tissue I think I go 0.0021 or smth like that

I got the rocket one and the graph one, for the thickness one I didn't divide by 2 so lost a mark, for that fusion person sec I got that answer and crossed it out and put a different one. Lost another mark. Definitely did not get that days question right , idk about the freq but probs not and idk about the fat tissue. Sigh. For the efficiency thing on the last page I got 3 point something. Yeah I'm begging for a 7 😭
