this is pretty silly of me thinking that the triangular diagram.. forgot which question.. was a 3d diagram. Because of this I was unable to deduce the sin rule for part a) which could've easily been done otherwise... however i still managed to get the other parts

Most of the people I've spoken to about the exam (myself included) thought the diagram was 3D, about half figured out it was actually 2D.

Terrible question if the biggest issue with it was the number of dimensions

The important thing to note about the diagram was that the lines that you shouldn't see aren't dotted. But if you read the question, it says that point O is inside triangle ABC. :p

They'll probably be aware of it and figure out the problem, but I doubt they'd remove a question completely. :p

They better not try to remove it, not realising it was 2d is your own fault lol

That question was the best 7 marks ever.

Especially because there was no 5-8 mark resisted motion question this year......................biggest bloody joke
