What would it be like if Maths had extended responses?

I don't know how they do things in the HSC, but in VCE we have extended response questions in maths!
Granted, you're not exactly writing an essay, but I think the fact that in the Methods Exam 2 last year, the last question went for 7 pages, that warrants the title "extended response" :o

That question gave me nightmares xD

But yeah, VCE methods and spesh (I'm not sure about further) all have extended response :)

Me too... Stressed me out because it was my second exam with 5 more to go, and I had 2 more the next day, that question was scary! (Of course my mark for that exam was lower than my other assessments for methods haha)

I'm convinced that if electronic devices suddenly become sentient and attempt to destroy the human race, it'll be the printers that turn first.
Those things can smell fear.

Just saw a video about how coating a road white will reduce ground temperature, ultimately impacting global warming. Interesting to see where things like this will lead us.

Thoughts?

Hmm this is strange.
I have also never seen a female taxi driver and very few female bus drivers...

Interesting.
The cost of the coating would be pretty big since there are lots of roads and it will probably need to be reapplied every now and then. It may be harmful to the environment if it erodes into the soil.  ::)

Electronic devices probably will take over eventually. Soon they're coming after all of our jobs. Then our houses, partners, children, then our lives.

RIP human race, Start of time -> whenever robots take over

Been there, done that

Last year I had a 9am-9pm day and stayed up until 3am to do an assignment. Woke up at 5:30. 12 hours on 2.5 hours. Worst decision I've ever made

After years of seeing it around, and it being heartily recommended to me the past few days, I have decided to watch Kung Fu Panda tomorrow.

If I don't come back feeling like a wise old man afterwards, I will be taking out my anger on ATAR Notes by writing out my thoughts in Comic Sans

I didn't know that you could write in Comic Sans. This has changed my entire ATAR Notes experience.
