For EXT1 as well? You're gone now. You better be prepared to shout Drsoccerball and Ekman lunch.

Yep, get over 70 in ext 1 and i'll shout lunch.

I'm confident no one will.

ahhaahah i thought you were joking because the latex didnt load... Carrot is question 16 like 2012 question 16 or like others plz dont make it like 2012

Q16 will be a bit of a surprise.

It proves something that you've all taken for granted, but I'm willing to bet it's never been formally proven for you.

Wasnt this a question on the 2015 integration marathon ?

Yes. It was one of the questions posted (but no substitution was given), and the substitution I provided there was one I figured out when doing the problem. I believe another suitable one may be u = x + 1/x, though iirc it doesn't come out as neatly.

I looked at it and felt i couldnt do any parts...

It looks very intimidating, but is actually very easy to do once you see what's actually happening in there.

Looks like Ekman's getting free lunch.

So what's the TAB paying.


$6.50 that someone gets over 70%?

My guesses are Simpsons rule/ trapezoidal rule or the AM-GM inequality

I feel like I know what it is now.

Though it probably isn't what I'm thinking since you wouldn't be that obvious.

Good luck getting over 70 when the exam is out of 70.

 

[Carrotsticks]

I'll make the bet for Ext 1 too.

I'm fairly confident many will get above 70% for 3U this year.

THOUGH I am told by Trebla that 3U this year is (much?) harder than last year.

haha lol. You troll.

Carrot dont take offence but im leaving mc blank till the very end and circling random answers ahhah

Well you do have a 1/1048576 chance of getting them all correct, so by all means, do it!

tbh I suggest giving MC a legit attempt.

It's the easiest 10 marks of the paper.

 

[shervos]

Bad news. This year's cohort is better than last year. You gonna be shouting one person lunch, guaranteed.

I'm 60% sure you're joking but in case you're serious, what makes you think this year's cohort is stronger than last year? I'd say that last year's cohort was much stronger

I did a legit attempt for 2014 and got 4/10... I got higher in question 16

That's because it was hard last year
