    Is hsc English a real subject?

    The vast majority of what you learn in high school is utterly irrelevant to your future occupation. Life's more than a job. +1 to knowledge for its own sake I hated hsc english. But I think I would've done it anyway even if it wasn't compulsory. There's value in constructing arguments (even...

    State Rankings

    I'll quote Giles from an old thread (from last year, I think): "No one has got full marks since Anthony Henderson in 1993, so although the marks are meant to be top secret I suspect that if I did get 120/120 word would have got out."

    State Rankings

    Namu's got it right :) State rankings are primarily based on external performance.

    Scaling of raw marks

    To date, only one person is known to have gotten 120 in 4u ever. So probably no. I'd say 118+ ish can get 100

    BOS statement on james ruse saga

    BOTH MedEntry and Face2Face. Is it worth it?

    Short answer: Umat prep is not proportional to Umat result.

    2 simple questions and a not-so-simple question

    For Q3, take east at positive Total initial momentum = 7*1200 - 3*1500 = 3900 (positive, so towards the east) Therefore, as momentum is conserved, final momentum = initial momentum = 3900 Ns east Final velocity of 1500kg cart = final velocity of stuck carts = v = p/m = 3900/(1500+1200) = 1.44...
