Did anyone actually bother doing the last multiple choice question?

Thought it was mostly fairly straightforward, but screwed up a bit - dropped 2 marks on 14 d (iv), and lost ~3 marks to sillies (calculator input wrong, and drew x^2 - y^2 = 4 because I missed the missed the <=). Certainly q16 was very easy this year - surely e4 cut off will be quite high?

Woops I don't mean rectangular hyperbola, I mean just a normal hyperbola.

Had a different question on my mind whilst typing lol.
That still is a rectangular hyperbola isn't it? The asymptotes cross at right angles and e = root 2

I believe that the test wasn't that hard. Question 8 was pretty easy. I screwed up the rest though.

I didn't do it. As soon as I saw that question, I didn't even bother reading it. It was only 1 mark.

You are talking from the viewpoint of someone who is expecting to get 95+.

I think that people around the E4 cutoff would have from this paper quite challenging.

I did. Find all possible ways without the restrictions and then find the number of ways there would be 5 or 6 people in a single room. Find the difference and that should be the answer.

Exam was easier than expected (maybe only last question was easier than expected) but ran out of time to do the last question properly.
Expecting raw mark to be between 75-85.
