    Australian Maths Competition

    Re: How did people go in the maths comp today? hahaha, did the same thing!! Overall, thought the first dozen or so weren't too bad, then skipped a couple of the middle ones (16 and 19, guessed at the end). Got the traitors-loyalists one and I'm pretty sure one more from 21-25. Hopefully...

    need help with probability

    1. Looks right, 2. Again, looks right - there is only one correct choice, but there are 9*8*7 possible outcomes, therefore 1/504 3. I'm pretty sure this is wrong. Reading the question, I get the impression that the first choice of card is unimportant. You could choose any card and it...
