MY CALCULATOR FROZE!!!!!

[Bovstar]

On the last question of the pyramid part I had forgotten to half the volume of the previous, but I knew that I had done so.
But that minor mistake cost me 5 min, as the calculator had FROZEN WHILE LOADING!
After almost throwing my TI-nspire at a wall, I pulled out and replaced the batteries which reset my history including EVERYTHING I HAD DEFINED!!! :tickedoff:
Did this happen to anyone esle and do u think it can be considered a genuine excuse?

It's not an excuse for anything. You won't get special provisions by complaining that your calc froze - that's just bad luck. As part of methods you are meant to have a working CAS anyway, so it's your fault if yours doesn't work.

I really don't think there are such thing as 'excuses' when it comes to VCE.

Sorry to hear what happened though.

My solution:-

1. Get all your methods notes and what not, that you used this year, and make a nice little pile.  
2. In the middle of that pile, place your TI-nspire.  
3. Grab a lighter and catch some of your notes. :uglystupid2:
4. Say bye-bye to methods...unless you're in year 11 like me and face the possibility of repeating.

Yeh well I am in year 11 but not repeating.
I still think I did alright, but just disappointed about my bad luck.
Would have done better with more time.

Would have done better with more time.

I think thats true for everybody

I could have done the pyramid if i had another day to do the exam I actually got equations for each side length, but getting it in the form they required and putting it altogeher did not work for me. Also... calculator would not accept a domain so I just wrote my method out and hopefully will just lose the answer mark.

Thanks for the maths solution Ani.

I gave you a solution to solve your other 'problem' by PM. Check it out kiddo.

[werdna]

Ani you are absolutely ridiculous, seriously. 

Why on earth would you waste such a precious resource? 

Good grief, the people at your school know nothing.

Mine did too when I was trying to gather CM in the last 10 minutes...luckily I got it on again after taking batteries out and in a few times...not really sure if what I used it for after that amounts to anything though.
