popcorn?
rofl mine was some guy called john has £2000 and sees the following advert
"Double your money, dont let it go up in smoke" or something like that
and the question was will john really double his money?
we were given half a page and all you had to do was work out an interest rate and state whether he does or doesnt double his money ;\

[lucyecc]

yeh i did foundation. its something about a regular popcorn selling for 3.00 or summin. way overpriced i thought.

Had that question on higher, terrible wording. It said that the interest rate was "average" so it could've been a lot less for him, and it also didn't mention whether it was simple or cumulative interest, so really you could've put that he lost money and still be right. As for the rest of the exam,
OH MY SHI....
It was the biggest, fattest, veiniest cock of an exam I've ever taken. I really hope I got a C or above so I don't have to do it again.

I seriously found that sooo easy. And I did higher.

The non-calculator paper was more difficult that that 1.. ;|
My paper "provider" I suppose that's the name was Edexcel..

I can't actually remember what the questions were though... :eusa_shif

There was some on Powers... HOW EASY?

First question I think was about someone's theory being wrong..
"6x - 1 will always be a prime number"
Give an example on how this is NOT true.

6² (6 * 6) = 36 - 1 = 35...
35 / 5 = 7.

That was easy? :s
