    It's all very well and good to talk about "changing the wording around" but without knowing how specific your essay plans are, if you just wheel out your pre-prepared response for a question which is 'worded differently' which in actuality changes the entire focus of the essay, you're in big...

    Yes confirmed there are literally only 16 possible essays and the markers can't ever change anything around.

    Re: 2015 permutation X2 marathon ah kk, I didn't know there was a proper name for that or anything. The answer to drsoccerball then is no, I don't think you can use insertion method, because there are more ways to do it than simply ABABCDCD etc.

    What I would say is that kuromusha isn't completely insane. It's well known that migrants place a greater stress on work ethic as a result of a desire to establish their families in a new nation. As such you can probably say that Asian-Australian families, as a hangover from this migrant...
