    Sorry, because you quoted Z.S's post saying "MP" I assumed you were talking about that.. You're right, in your entry, "Title" is supposed to be Mr, Miss, e.t.c.

    PlanetMaster has stated that notes need to be in a computer-editable format. Graphs count as images, so you can do those any way you manage

    Of course, that's why I was suggesting a running count, perhaps in the Reserved post at the front.

    Cool, are we allowed a running count of how many applications are in round two?

    Needs help to some Mechanics questions

    7.i) Using SUVAT again, except because you're on a slope you first need to split up the 60deg velocity into horizontal and vertical components. Horizontal component will be the same all the way up, but the vertical component will change, with a=-9.8 and s=2.5sin(60). Once you have the horizontal...

    Oh right. I was about to say where I was, but then remembered that you've already Googled Liss =P

    Yeah that makes sense - I can imagine people coming to study here afterwards, but currently elsewhere. Where in the UK are you?

    Yes it is, and I suspect the only way you know that is through Google =P

    Help? What AS subjects to choose?

    Just to throw my two pence in (I'm studying Computer Science this year) - IT is nothing like Computer Science, and mostly it won't help. If you want to learn about programming and building systems, then IT won't help. If they have the option, Computing is more similar. The best subject to take...

    Heh, it's just a username that I used once about 5 or 6 years ago, and it's unique enough that I get to use it pretty much everywhere!

    Needs help to some Mechanics questions

    I'm pretty sure your question one is not possible to answer without knowing how fast (backwards) the runner is travelling when t=35. For example, if v=-1, then the area of that triangle = 0.5*10*-1 = -5 so he travelled 5 metres. If v=-10, then he travelled 50 metres. Question 2 is basic SUVAT...

    XtremePapers Contest 2012!

    I submitted mine as PDF (I wrote them in Google Docs and exported as PDF) - I think the important thing for the competition was that the notes are in text form so that they can work without adaptation on the website (animations would not work so well online).

    It won't help save your animations, but if you save your PowerPoint as a pdf, it will be in a text format without you having to do annoying screenshots.

    Maybe it would be most helpful if PlanetMaster (or whoever is reviewing applications) could keep a note updated that shows us how far through applications they are (e.g. have reviewed up to 6th Aug - replied up to 4th Aug)

    Phone Help

    Honestly, I would recommend anything you can afford that runs Android. Having said that, you can be even more sure that you're getting a high-quality device if you buy something from a well-known company like Samsung, so perhaps one of their phones would be good...

    Phone Help

    Why does availability matter? I can sort of understand the damage argument, but I think you'd find many phone repair shops will know how to deal with Samsung phones. It's up to you of course in the end, but I don't think an iPhone is the best use for your money =)

    Not sure how you can be considering a 3-y/o Nokia brick one moment, then suddenly switching to considering an iPhone.. iPhones are expensive! Even the iPhone 4 I wouldn't recommend for you. Instead I would get an Android phone, which have the same smartphone capabilities as the iPhone (and often...
