The Conics section in Fitz is (perhaps) the hardest available from the "popular" Ext2 textbooks. In the HSC (besides Q7,8) they'll guide you through the Conics question.

yeah, probably, but fitzpatrick also has crap thats not in da syllabus such as hyperbolas with the centre no in the origin etc..but anyway, "hardness" in conics comes due to the overwhelming algebra that is required.

Well, generally speakin' Arnold was harder... but not for Conics, imo.

Yep, it's just lines and lines of workin' and it's very discouragin' when you take a glance at the solution. (Although occasionally there are few solutions which are elegant and take but a few lines.)

Many of the published solutions are longer than what it could have been

You'd think they'd get it right, tho?

Yes, occasionally or rarely as the case may be.

Published solutions to what?
The Fitzpatrick doesn't have solutions to most of its Conics questions. Lucky him.
