NEXT QUESTION (an easy one because I can't think of any :p): Prove that nC1 + nC2...nCn = 2n

Am I right?

Don't choose based on scaling - consider other factors, such as which will help you more in future uni/career, which one you think you're better at, which will require more work etc. All scaling does is makes the system fair - it is easier to do well compared to the rest of the state in a poorly...

Students online, but not until the 15th November

Yeah - proably looking at in the 80s if you work for it.

Are they your trial ranks or your overall ranks? I thought someone else was top in Ancient and Extension History. Maths might bring you down a little - based on last year that rank would get you 95 which, while good, will be down a bit compared to your other marks. SDD will also bring you...

We haven't left yet from the General Discussion on the 2006 HSC - hold on a minute. I think it might be when you go back to school, but it may not be after the HSC exams

NO - actually the sciences scale really well, Maths pretty well and Ancient not too badly. There's no point worrying about the scaling of English because everyone has to do it. Regardless, all scaling does is makes it fairer - if a subject scales badly it is easier to do well (in relation to...

It isn't really study, but I've been putting about 8 hours a day into my cosmology major project. Hoping to finish it tomorrow (it's due next wednesday), then I can get down to real study. The good thing is that we've already done the exams, so I'll have nothing more to do for that subject...

Yes, but they weren't motivated by their atheism, they were motivated (at least on the surface) by Marxist ideology. While atheism is (arguably) an element of Marxism, it is not the driving force behind it.

Sorry - I'm not really good with the geological ones - but this is my take on the cosmological ones. I don't see how the radiation can be coming from the galaxy when it is so isotropic. The speed of light could not have slowed - simply because it would imply that we were seeing events in...

You have six points, of which you are choosing three to form triangles. So the number of possible different triangles is 20 (6C3). But as you are forming a pair of triangles, choosing three points is equivalent to choosing the remaining three points so you must divide by 2, getting 10.

average - about 65 I think

Can you give me any examples of this research? Like for example how do you explain the results of radiometric dating, observations of the cosmic microwave background, fossils, the distance of stars (are you suggesting that no standard candle is accurate?), the rate of expansion of the universe...

I don't think you can argue that anymore - there is way too much evidence for the actual age being 13.7 (+/- 0.2) billion years. In 2005 the age of the moon was measured as being 4527 (+/-10) million years Anyway - in answer to 1) - the moon has an orbital speed that is a relic of its momentum...

Definitely depends on the test each year - apparently in 2003 the top mark was about 104/120. You should note that it is very different doing a test at home, even under the time pressure, to actually be in the exam. Last year I was doing practice papers for 2U and getting very close to full...

Isn't that a bit of a low estimate? She'd easily be in band six for everything but maths - those ranks would get band six at my school (27th in state) - so I'd call 95 the absolute minimum if she can do as well in the hsc as during the year.

Possibly as high as 98-99, certainly 95+. Maths might bring you down slightly.

Small school = impossible to predict, but as you are ranked first in everything you'd probably be looking at at least 95

Looking pretty good - you should achieve your aim. 95-98 I'd say
