Really? I thought some of the questions were too easy for the test (relatively speaking). For example there was an inequalities question that came out pretty easily.
[I'm basing my judgement on the fact that you were allowed to take in any number of books, calculators, etc.]
Overall some of the questions in the Junior section were harder than those in the Senior, but the general standard was about right I guess, since the hard questions did offset the easy ones.
That question was one of the hard ones, yes.
Incidentally, spice girl, your solution isn't actually the one the person who wrote the question came up with. His solution was a modular arithmetic method (I forget the modulus though).
So you'll probably have your solution coming out as an alternative when the official solutions are released
There was a question making a play on the Iraq situation but it didn't get through (George and Maddas are playing a game. Who wins? If it had been 2002 who would have won? - The question involved the number 2003, and it turned out George wins this year, but Maddas would have won last year)
