re: shifty '12 question 16 solution
only because they're integers

Just did about half of 2005, man that paper took long. Then again I only spent 2 hr 15 on it, and got up to Q6.
Why is there always a question proving cos 36 and cos 72, they have popped up at least 3 times. At least twice in the past 8 years. I like those question.


#I love a good induction question. The one in 2005 was good, but I did it shiftly by using a reduction formula as a shortcut, and saying I have proven this statement to be true using this means.

#I love a good resisted motion question, especially in 3U. Those a=kv or a=kv^2 questions are so methodical.

??? I swear resisted motion is only MX2.

It is related to the Golden ratio.

Also, we know the exact values of pi/k where k=1, 2, 3, 4,....., 6.

So why not k=5?

It is.

What was dodgy then?

dw lol, I honestly ceebs getting into an argument over it, the day before hsc 4u.

prefer to go in with a confident, unphased mindset into the actual exam instead of being annoyed by lingering doubts regarding a Q from a past paper and a discussion on BOS about its potential dodginess .

Lel I have a theory that once every few years the papers are extremely difficult (e.g. 2012, but 2009-2011 were relatively easier)
Apparently 2005 was hard? So maybe the undoable papers pop up once every 8 years or so, so hopefully this year we are safe

(I'm really hoping so, my predictions for HSC exams have been quite on point!)

Whats with people saying that 2012 paper was difficult? I say 2002 was more challenging.

Bro, I am pretty sure you have to use it. Ah mechanics is boss.

BAHAHAHAHA. Literally laughed ~ potential dodginess

I want combinatorics and probability in the last question

seems truly so @ carrot.

The best students found 2013 much easier than 2012.
The students who were just scraping for an E4 or lower found 2013 harder than 2012.
Perhaps that is an indicator of where you sit.

What are you trying to prove? Anyway lets hope that we have a good day tomorrow.

Yes! Hopefully it's a good exam
