It was great. Worked perfectly with Srzynecki. I was actually hoping they'd ask this. For my trial exam the question was over time as well and I got 13/15 originally then marked down to 12/15 because I didn't write enough on related. But yesterday I think I wrote plenty on related and I presented more sophisticated arguments for Skrzynecki so hopefully 13/15 this time! I hated short answers.
The question fit perfectly for Dickinson and my RTs.
I used Sym Bionic Titan (Ep 17) and Karigurashi no Arietty as my RTs, but I only managed to get Arietty into dot-point form and missed out on the conclusion completely.
I used 10 Mary Street and Postcard from Skrzynecki and found it to be a very good question. As I have spoken to people, temptation was there to subconsciously repeat the CSSA 2012 Trail question but I think I answered it not the best but fairly clearly.
Ah, the beauty of picking the question! Admittedly, the time part was prefigured by our trial - but I guessed that perceptions would be in there, somehow. It'd be a shame for all those who did the trial with time in it and then failed to account for perceptions...
