The question regarding the cheese and rectangular prism stumped me. However, I'm glad to see people got the same answer as me.

But, i didn't express the answer as other people did, who wrote 41.04 X 15 X 21, i simply wrote Length = 41.04, width= 21, and height = 15. (i should my calculations to get to those figures)

Do you guys think I'll lose marks because i didn't write it as an expression?

h/3 (8a+2b) is the expression, thats how it should look anyways, apart from the h bit which im not sure is either h or 2h.

ii) had no idea how to do it, the answer i guessed was 8m decrease to b though

overall the exam was to be expected. dead easy on every question except one where you had to apply lots of knowledge. the ball breaker i call it.

easy band 6, im guessing 95 +

ahhh i just realised i missed one of the dimensions for the cheese q. gayyy.
o shit i did not get that answer for the flight one...i ignored the time differences. I in the test i was going i should do it but the q says ignore time zones but i didnt know what that meant. :(
AHHHH wtf was with question 28 i had never seen one of those things in my whole life and the simpsons rule one....wtf.
overall an alright test, but a few tricky questions thrown in.

I dont think so...timezones are timezones. I also got Wednesday 7am, due to ignoring timezones. If it was daylight savings they would have had to specified day light savings...

yeah im 1 who put 7am cuz of the timezones and i typed timezones in on google and it said timezones refers to every 15 degrees equalling 1hr. so in that case i still think 7am is the correct answer

you can interpret ignore time zones anyway you like, but it still says

What time will be the local time in Borneo when the aircraft arrives?

Do you think i'll lose marks for writing the dimensions as length= 41.04, width= 21 and height = 15, or should of i written it as 41.04 X 21 X 15

yeah so if it says, ignoring timezones, what is the local time in borneo what the aircraft arrives. so, assuming that they are the same time (thus ignoring time zones), the plane arrives at 7am... otherwise, how and where does the "ignoring timezones" fit into the question?

no i dont think u'll lose points for that. i did the same. the question only says what were the demensions. we still stated the dimensions. u might get marked down if u didnt not cm. as the units
