    Philosophy

    Philosophy covers a lot of things though, Mel. Depends on what kind of philosophy you're talking about. But Wikipedia says: Philosophy is the study of general problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, truth, beauty, justice, validity, mind, and language. Its a fascinating...

    Adam and Eve or Evolution?

    Mel, you've heard of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, right? It outlines the teachings of the Catholic church, and when you compare it to other denominations, you can really see the differences, especially with the worship of the saints and Mary. Some Christian denominations don't even...

    Adam and Eve or Evolution?

    That's because Catholics are good people and don't take the Bible literally.

    Study Discussion

    Re: Write notes or type notes ? I typed most of my notes. For maths, I had graphing and sketching programs, so that made it easier to do diagrams. But everyone has their preferences, so you should just go with what works for you.

    Piano

    I play piano too, but I haven't done so in a looong time (since year 9). I could play a lot of songs back then (but I'm not sure if I still can...). Some of them included classics like Moonlight Sonata, Fur Elise and The Entertainer. I once played a piano arrangement of The Logical Song by...

    Philosophy

    I went to some philosophy lecture at the UoW open day. From what I heard there, philosophy sounds like some great, thought-provoking, intellectual meddling ("so do a combined science/arts degree!" says my English teacher. Uh... no. Arts would probably kill me)

    Class of 2007 (Were they really that smart)?

    Yeah, 70-282 is a pretty significant drop. Usually we're in the top 150-100, and 2006 was one of the best year groups we've had (hence the 70 ranking). I don't know about our year group, though.

    Class of 2007 (Were they really that smart)?

    I don't know about the rest of the state, but my school's rank dropped from 70 to 282 in 2007... Teachers were saying that it was one of the worst year groups we've had, and that they're relying on us to bring the school back up.

    keeping exam papers

    For some reason, the examiners at my school won't let us keep the papers, and tell us that we'd have to come back another day to get them.

    The 2008 HSC Mathematics Paper

    Which link? Both are working just fine for me.

    What are the chances of my school giving me the WEP key?

    So I came into school today to study, and I asked for the network key, so I could access the school internet from my laptop. Librarian: We have a wireless network?! Me: Yes... we have several So I went to look for someone who was in admin, but they wouldn't give me the key.

    Thanks Char! PS: The cookies were a lie.

    I stayed through the entire exam, and I still couldn't get my paper!

    We're going through the entire paper, posting answers.

    That looks right, I also got those answers. 2/3 . 740 is 1480/3 --> 493/1/3 Did anyone else also get this answer?

    We're going through the entire paper, posting answers.

    I could help if someone could post the paper... Edit: When I left, I was about to take the paper with me, but then the examiner was like, 'oh, you won't be able to keep that now. Come back later this week to get it' WTF.

    We're going through the entire paper, posting answers.

    I wanted to. I really wanted to. Also, I was going to get a copy of English Paper 2, but they seem to have gone missing in action. I'll have to ask my English teacher for a copy.

    We're going through the entire paper, posting answers.

    I also got 8 for that question. If I had a copy of the paper, I'd be posting my answers too, but the examiner wouldn't let me keep it (they told me to come get it later this week)

    General thoughts: Mathematics

    Re: General thoughts I did quite well... Until I get to question 10b, which was the equivalent of running straight into a brick wall, at full speed. I'm thinking around 100-110/120. Anything more though, would be the fluke of a lifetime.
