HARDEST MATH PAPER IN THE HISTORY OF IGCSE 0580 MATH 42 DISCUSSION

[Noorullah Farid]

something like that they were asking what OP(n-1)Pn
what was the probability question

i don't get you

 

[m3dchemist]

THe paper was although tough but somehow easy :/

[Afaf el harda]

Not me!!
Last qquestion not done!!

Last question was a pain in the ass.

 

[Afaf el harda]

The grade boundary for A* should be at 170/200. Paper 4 was way too hard.

I was 173/200 last year, and last year's exam was way easier, so I suspect it less than that this time.

 

[Afaf el harda]

In the last question, who got n=20?

I got a 19.5 something, so I wrote 19. I'm not sure of my answer though. =|

 

[Ijlal Amir]

it was great for me will prolly lose around 7 to 8 marks

 

[Afaf el harda]

i got n=19...

I got that too. I hope it is correct. o.o

 

[Ijlal Amir]

I got that too. I hope it is correct. o.o

me too

 

[Duracell100]

About the last question, n was equal to 19. If it was 20, then 20 x 18.4 would be 368 and it would overlap. Dividing 360 by 18.4 would be 19,5, so 19 is the answer.

yes youre right if it were 20 triangles it'd surely overlap i absolutely agree with you...but when you come to the 19th triangle, youll notice that its (n-1) not n, so n = 19+1 = 20

In the last question, who got n=20?

i did

 

[Muj123]

what are you on about we did 42

 

[Sarah Jawrdawi]

The last probability question is 70/240 or something I forgot really

Same here! o3o

 

[xpfaddict]

what was your answer of the same question part 2...in which we had to answer in square root a/b

 

[Jelleh Belleh]

what are you on about we did 42

There was a question about fertilizer bags in 42.
I don't remember what I wrote though, I left the 3rd question for the end, and then wasn't able to solve it because my brain broke after doing the rest. ;_;

 

[Muj123]

what are you on about we did 42

So did I bro.. Fertilizer bags where there are large ones & small ones, a guy spends $27 and the girl spends $25.. It came in the mid
