10 people get into BSc(Advanced maths)???? But the cut-off is only 98.8 - does it have aditional selection criteria. Thats my first preference, but my uai waslike 97 something at last estimate. I'm relying on my olympiad involvement to get me through - but since I made the informatics team not...

in the spirit of the mock trial paper here

Game theory, functional equations and computational theory.

Junior - Vinoth top ??? Senior - Graham Top, Yu Heng 2nd, 3 way tie for third - charles, vinh and can't remember who. I really was never good at that comp, only got 2 prizes and never a major.

IMO Medalist... Respect

I can reveal from a reputable source that it was co-authored by a 3-Unit student and a maths olympian (not graham white).

Graham White got 120. Alexander Zhang 101, Me 100. Prize cut-off was 98. I just learnt yesterday that you didn't lose marks for guessing! Feel ripped off as I didn't guess for 3 questions, 2 of them in section 2. How did everyone else go?

I know it was too easy, but it doesn't matter too much though. I managed to improve my rankings. I scored 104.5 compared to their estimate of 86. Still, I would have preferred it harder, but they'll never make it as hard as I want.

It depends what you mean by capable. The problem is there is not enough time, you are forced to rush. Given a reasonable amount of time I'm sure many people could get close to 120. But you are forced to work at such a rate that when yoiu finish you only have at most 5 minutes left to check your...

I think they run two different comps, an assessment and an actual competition. The one I'm referring to does not provide you with the scores, and is a competition for prizes. Whatever you sat i don't think we do it at Ruse, don't ask me why. Would have liked to have done it though, just to see...

Did anyone go last Friday?

I don't have it yet I didn't keep the paper after the exam so I can't yet. I know other people from Ruse monitor this site, and Graham White posted a few times. I don't know which school people are from or the real names of people on this site so i don't know if there is anyone else from Ruse.

Now that I've sat it anyone can post it if they want to (and have it).

Analysis of two algorithms provided. Implementation is important, but I will assume the most efficent i know. For simplicity i will treat the problem as simplifying m!/n! Prime Factorisation: All the primes less than n can be found in O(nlogn) time by a prime sieve. Given all the prime...

What specifically in the Harder 3U does everyone dislike? Can't be the inequalities, they are all just rearrangements of AM-GM or differentiatable.

Hey, we at Ruse were taught that we could use this in the HSC.

Using the AMC as an assessment would be a good idea. I think we should do this state-wide.

These are too rushed, another 5-10min and I could have solved them all.

The octrahedral one was so easy if you recognised the symmetry. Each of the corners gets an equal share. Far out I missed 2 questions in section 2 and 1 in section 3. I tried solving the quadritic for 11, but i stuffed up and got a complex answer. For the increase or decrease by three i almost...

No, I am not Graham White, I'm Chris Leong. Thanks for the "compliment".
