    3 set texts...

    considering there is only two hours for ext 1 (which equates to 1hr for each section). The probability of them asking you for 3 related is highly unlikely, if u look at the past questions they always say "refer to two prescribed and two related" or (at least). But then again, they fucked us over...

    the heardest hsc paper??

    disagree, if u look at the HSC papers from 2001-2008, the question 8,9,10s have a much higher degree of difficulty. Especially question 10s, it was in the sydney morning herald once saying that its too difficult to do (even most 3unit students cant do them). But thats just my opinion.

    i) Using the equation T = Toe^(-kt) dT/dt = -k(Toe^(-kt)) but T = Toe^(-kt) therefore dT/dt = -kT ii- when t=0, To= 85, when t=10, T=65 65=85e^(-10k) 65/80= e^(-10k) log both sides therefore k = 0.021 (3 sig fig) ii- when t = 10 T = 85e^(-10k) from calculation T= 69.0625 degress

    The Mathew Johns Sex scandal.

    I do find it odd that the lady came out of the closet 7 years after the alleged assult, but you also must consider the stress & turmoil she must of been under during the time period. However unfortunately for Matthew Johns he is a public image, and any wrong doings or accusations towards him...
