so each year nsw ppl beat themselves by getting a 100 for their UAI??? good stuff.
kido_1:
Yeh 99.95 ENTER=100 UAI
AppleXY:
no. UAI is an INDEX, university admissions INDEX. Its base is 100 so the highest a student can get is 100 UAI.

are you assuming that it's 99.999999999 recurring?
that would equal 100.
it's simple.
let x = 99.99....
let 10x = 999.99...
10x-x = 999.99... - 99.99
9x = 900
x = 100
therefore 99.99... = 100.

The ENTER assumes you are not better than yourself. You can only get an ENTER of 100 if you are an infinitesimal. That is, you are infinitely small in representation of the population (i.e.: an infinite population).
