Enak is a user on the forums as well and a friend, in his independent sdd paper he was given questions with assumed knowledge of knwoing the exact ascii values for each thing, is this actually assumed we know all 128 characters in the ASCII table? if it is it's BS!!!

I'm leaving this one alone. Mind you, this has gotten me thinking...
It wouldn't be so bad if you had a computer in the room with which you could press Alt+???. Then at least you could check if you're right.

This is a very excellent idea. As from here, you may work out where the other letters are.
Well I've just had a look, and some knowledge of ASCII is needed for Q23(b) and also for 25(a). 25(a) gives you the necessary codes in hex and expects you know that letters appear sequentially. Depending on your answer, 23(b) may require knowledge of the codes for A-Z, a-z and 1-9. In hindsight we should have provided these codes in a similar way to 25(a). I can't see where you need to know control characters.
In the HSC I would expect the question to give you any ASCII codes needed, such as CR=13, LF=12, if they were in fact really needed. Generally in an algorithm this sort of detail is not needed.
