HSC day on January 2nd (1 Viewer)

[Ultimate]

I just heard that there was a HSC day from 2pm onwards for students at university of sydney for people who scored a UAI of 99.5 or over.

Has anyone else heard of this?

[BlackJack]

Nup, never heard of it... geez, it's not like only the ppl with 99.5 and above gets anywhere. What do they do, sit around and brainstorm on mensa qustions?

 

[Felix: I]

haha...what if u get 99.5 then bj? are u gonna bring a soccer ball and scare all them mensa people away?

"oh my mathematics! what is that spherical object?"
"it's not perfectly spherical, it has pentagons on it!"
"them be no pentagons! they are three dimentional shapes!"

and so on..

Actually the UAI has increments of 0.05

I heard about this HSC day from the headmaster of St. Andrews College in Sydney. Yeah, so obviously no one's really heard about it.

is it only for usyd

are there other days for other unis ...

 

[Bambul]

Well, actually...

I think the proper name for a soccer ball is a truncated dodecahedron. It's a combination of pentagons and hexagons which gives the illusion that it is spherical.

Well, that's the theory. In practice it is spherical, with the polygons painted on giving the illusion that it is a flat surfaced solid giving the illusion that it is actually spherical, which it actually is!

And for my mathematical formula on happiness, simply follow this link!

That is beyond sad.
