Did we all fall for the perpetuity question in business math?

The question was "how much remains in the account after 6 worths of payments have been made?" - or something like that

Did we all fall for it, or did we write $360000? :D

That was the only marked I dropped though, I'm pretty sure. What would 97 or 98/100 be across both exams?

Yeah, last year was tougher to get a 40+ because it was too easy, but this year i am hoping it would be less tighter, because this years exam was somewhat "harder" so they might lower the A+/A cut off marks

But I left it coz I couldn't see how it could be anything different :D
