I have the intermediate Hamilton paper tomorrow, and I'm dreading it. Anyone else done well in the Maths Challenge? Any tips?

Cheers!

been in Gd for 10 minutes, not even 1 view?

Don't worry about the views, they don't appear instantly.

I have no idea what you're on about otherwise though.

don't worry about it, no real point in them.

so is it a test?
I remember doing maths challenges (Problem solving question papers sat in ~1-2 hours )and they didn't count towards any final marks or matter for anything =/ so I'm not sure why you're worried?

We hold part of the Olympiad at Trinity. It was on TV last year and one of the contestants got a grilling over comments about China.

looks bloody amazing on your CV, seeing as I consider myself a potential Oxbridge candidate. Also if I do well enough, I could get onto the English team, although that's just a dream, hehe

Did you watch the documentary? The Chinese accept nothing less than gold across the board... good luck!

Ah yes I remember, he was chinese himself I believe. A boy who goes to my school, Tim Hennock, was on the show. He's a genius, participates regularly for England, he's helping me prepare.

Good night lads, going sailing tomorrow, then back to school for the paper!

Took it on Friday instead, didn't go too badly, got 3 of the 6 questions right, still, that's not enough to get into England
