How is it wrong? =/

EDIT: Is it 8C2 * 6C2 * 4C2 = 2520 ways? This method treats the BYE as a person but I don't see why the first one doesn't work thought...On second thought, it isn't this because a BYE can't be counted as the arrangement as it's not a player.
So the if Amy is not against ben = 2520 - 6C2 * 4C2 = 2430?

apollo trolling?

I don't understand this one though...
Yeah neither do I....i guessed it by thinking: take one person out, then solve the arrangement as in (i), then do the same for the second person. I just realised that doesnt take into account the fact that each could play someone else at the same time.....my bad.

I think some of your answers are not taking into account doubling up...
e.g if ben plays say, prue then prue playing ben would also be valid but a double up...

i don't see why you guys are wasting your time with this question, there will not be a question like this in the test.

i was just having a look at the final part to the final question of the 2010 ext 1 paper, it has ridiculous wording. was there any repercussions about that question after the paper? because the wording is appaling

This is a bit irrelevant but how long should it take for 3u students to finish the 2u paper? It takes me about an hour to go from q.1-5 is that too long?

that should be fine. depends on how much your aiming for. if you want 95+ you need to finish paper quicker and alleviate any mistakes.
