    Re: 2015 permutation X2 marathon I have been considering the simplified case of placing n people into n committees with 2 people in each committee and each person in 2 committees. I have noticed a pattern - but it is a pattern of TWO only, so there is a good chance it means nothing. For 3...

    Re: 2015 permutation X2 marathon That can be reduced to 3: (1) The number of people, m (2) The number of committees, n (3) The number of connections (which must be a multiple of m and n - not necessarily the LCM)

    It depends what you are aiming for, and what your natural ability is. Some have a real gift for the subject and can get a great result with minimal effort. I would say that someone who DOESN'T get a band 10 (the top band) in year 9 Naplan would probably need double that to get an E4.

    Capable of 4u ?
