BIG NAMES in 05 (2 Viewers)

[Trev]

lol, not a combo, but i call Slide Rule "Captain Slide" on msn.

but captain pi in my opinion is also very high level.

I remember to this day in year 10 I beat captain_pi in the mathematics competition haha. Although that isn't vindicative of how you would go in HSC, I still remember haha, i'm so lame.

 

[Trev]

Except that, from what I can gather, he's not repeating either MX1 or MX2.

He isn't. I'm glad also, because then he would be in my class and competition I would not be able to beat!
He is still doing 10 or 11 units although he has already done 4 that would definately count. You are seriously crazy Hugh!

 

[sephora]

My guess...

I'd put some money on Josie Pang at Ascham she won some extremely prestigious Uni of Sydney award. Maybe not first but she will definitely do well

lol.
Was this a Distinction/High Distinction situation or did it come down to marks?

 

[FinalFantasy]

hahaha, didn't know captain pi isn't doing 4u again
btw that Will Hunting guy looks quite high lvl as well!

Haha, no way - i've only got a HD in primary school
I got Distiction, he got a Credit! *shocked smiley* (there isn't one to represent the shock haha).

 

[Trev]

DistantCube; what is that guy you mentioned at your school that does all those mathematics olympiads or whatever? Would he have a chance?

Sounds kinky.

 

[Captain pi]

lol, don't get wrong ideas, i call Slide Rule "Captain Slide" cuz he said something about Captain first and i thought it was funny so i started calling him dat.

didnt she do really well in the UNSW maths comp? I think i saw her name on the merit list thingo, however its been ages...

I don't want to diminish the scope of BOS, but I don't think the entire Mathematics Extension 2 candidature visit and post on this site. Essentially, just because someone is the best on the forums doesn't imply they'll do well in the HSC.

I am no where near as hot as I was a week up to the exams, last year, and I only got 93.

My predictions?

Maybe Matt Libling (SGS), Chris Leong (JRAHS), Brian Leung (SGS).

 

[velox]

Captain Pi - Why those three?

 

[blackfriday]

bryan from my school has topped every maths test since year 8 and normo is actually alright at maths. but i hear all these psycho names which makes me wonder how bad im going to do myself.

How do you know about those people?....Just curious!

 

[Estel]

If I can take what Graham White (who incidentally, would be a big gun) said seriously, then Chris doesn't have a hope of coming 1st.
Brian, perhaps.

There are plenty of big names, contrary to what somebody said above. They haven't had a chance to shine given that this year is their turn at the olympiads.
Nevertheless, "randoms" usually top it (if you're going to call someone like keypad a random, which he is and he isn't) given that "non-randoms" are a bunch of names lynched off the AMT olympiad result web site, and "non-randoms" encompass everyone else. If you established a list of 50 students in the state with any semblance of mathematical talent, I feel you'd have the top 10 in there

And to the person who flattered me earlier: why thankyou
I would slot myself in the third-tier, however. Didn't even make the recent Aus comp... that's below 100 =/

 

[velox]

correct me if im wrong but what u said sounds contradictory. You said "If you established a list of 50 students in the state with any semblance of mathematical talent, I feel you'd have the top 10 in there"

Then u said "I would slot myself in the third-tier, however. Didn't even make the recent Aus comp... that's below 100 =/"

So you can you be third?

I reckon, it could be Vinh, possibly Frank, or Chen. But then again i dont know that many potential candidates.

 

[SeDaTeD]

Wow, the 4unit topping cycle continues again. Scary how competitive it is.

 

[Estel]

velox: try looking up what tier means in the dictionary
while you're at it, put foot into mouth.

Need I say more, though; this is a stupid and pointless discussion.

 

[withoutaface]

Which accelerants were listed for 2u and/or 3u last year that are completing 4u this year, apart from the guy from my school?
