I panicked for a sec when i got h=r, but luckily figured it out :D


I go to a "not-so-bright school", and no-one in my cohort solved it.

Looks like a few people may be haunted whenever they look at an ice cream cone...

Only 36% of VNers got it so far, which probably means that only 10-15% of the state got it :)

I know a few in my school that solved it.

Many did the mistake which lead to r=0.

I spent 5 mins of my reading time looking at the question and it clicked.

Nah, you should be right. I reckon A+ cutoff will be 34-35. Just make sure you nail the second exam :)

I'm not sure if everyone who actually voted they got it is truthful... might just be donkey votes from people who are trying to be funny

the fact that you struggled with it makes me feel a little better.

i like your highly simple just sit the fuck down and concentrate hard exam style/technique.  worked well today for the rest of the paper. :)
