He is neither. (I believe "Angus-Higgins" has a level of intelligence that is good in some areas [he did well on his GCSE qualifications {not that they are particularly difficult}, and has done well in the past {in other things}]).

Thank God for ignore lists.

Did they do questions more difficult than these?
Question 22 doesn't look too easy.

Much, much, more difficult. (That is the Senior Mathematics challenge [National], if one gets a very good mark, one goes to a National Mathematics Olympiad [even after getting a very good mark there it is still a very, very difficult test]).

The knowledge required (I gather) is not immense, but the depth of work makes it hard.

Seriously Angus, either get help or leave your house more often.

For the good of the forums.

The IMO questions are a lot harder.

The questions from 2006 (the year the program was filmed) can be found here.

The frequency of my leaving my house is relatively high (due to my attendance of 6th Form).

Seriously Angus, have you been tested for Asperger's?
I'm not trying to have a go, but you seem to show all the signs.

I was considered borderline as a kid and you exhibit autistic behaviour a lot more than I ever did.

View Angus' oldest posts. He wasn't always as bad as this

No. (To my knowledge [however I would assume that I would posses knowledge of such a test]).

I am the same person. (Admittedly, I am more logical [I feel now], but I am not trying to annoy people [I do have an opinion upon the programme {and have expressed it}]).

In all seriousness go and speak to your GP about it.

Also, have a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome

Mr Gimp · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:05

Read some of Angus' earlier posts from when he joined, he's putting this stupid personality on and it's pathetic.

Ghosteh · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:14

He must have Aspergers syndrome, look at all those brackets on the Wiki!

mynsa · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:19

when is angus-higgins going to be banned, it started with brackets, now he speaks in third person, and use one to reference others a lot - hes getting worse

He completely de rails posts, for example this one, and is obviously doing it for attention.

sniffy · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:20

If you look at his website, he uses very good English. He also uses brackets in the correct manner. I don't know why he chooses to do it on this forum. Attention? Maybe.

Please, just stop it Angus

OT: The programs on your site are indeed a helpful resource Angus. Do you plan on putting more on there?

Its only derailed if other members pursue it.

Angus-Higgins · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:24

I will attempt to explain this to people. I did not use the "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself) on my website for the simple reasons that I had not fully implemented the system (at that stage), and also, it is not applicable (I have repeated this [on this forum] so many times).

I am not trying to get attention from people (any attention more than one would hope for [as the mere act of posting is hoping for some attention {I believe}]). The fact I don't actually mind whether people ignore me, or not should explain this (I believe). The Internet is my main, and preferred method of communication, if I could stop people arguing about me (on several forums [and IRC Channels]), I would, but I cannot.

I am not trying to annoy people (and I do not want to be banned).

I realised he was having us on ages ago, now it seems he's trying a new 3rd person writing style, not interesting or funny tbh.

Bakedgoods · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:27

You can quite easily stop people argueing and moaning about you by stopping what you're doing.

Some people really are sad :\

Cold_And_Miserable · 15 Oct 2007 at 16:30

Heres one of the questions: 4, Determine all pairs

of integers such that
1+2^x+2^2x+1=y^2
I think the lowest possible pair is (4,23). Any ideas?

Hmmm... integers...

. o O (I still have the rest of that jelly at home. I could have it with ice cream too! What a good idea!)

A friend of mine told me that during one of his maths exams (GCSE I think) he got so excited that he was getting all the questions right that "the inevitable happened" - he came. Still not entirely sure why he felt the need to share that with me.

Thats sig material right there
