<p>So the chances of making a mistake on it a infinitesimal?</p>

<p>I don’t remember the number, but yes, infinitesimal chance of mistake. :D</p>

<p>there was a question about how many numbers in a sequence are integers.
the answer was 4 I think
8 4 2 1 0.5 etc.
Although I’m thinking, if this sequence continues, surelyu there will be a number that is 1/999999999999999999999999999999999999…
that would then be =0, thus making the answer 5 :stuck_out_tongue:
That is probably just a math geek thing though</p>

<p>It was 4. It tends to zero - however, it’s never NEVER actually zero. It just becomes seriously small after a while.
There was another one that was 4 - set X and set Y (how many did X have that didn’t belong to Y.)
And one of the grid ins was 2 - It was the one with 1+k+m/m and m=k+1 - Replace and you get 2m/m which is 2.</p>

<p>^ agree with the rest of your answers,
yea you are right, it is never actually zero, but if continued infinitely… nevermind, just a thought.</p>

<p>One of the (?grid in?) questions was something like “how many residences a college needs to house a ?1900? students”. I got 6.
I also remember one with two triangles which share a side: one was equilateral with 60° angles, the other was right angled and isosceles (45°). It asked for an angle which was the sum of two angles, 105°.</p>

<p>yeh it was 6 for the residences. I remember the formula was like 1150+125n</p>

<p>I also remember that 105 degree.</p>

<p>I have a question. For the Tom Cruise braces passage, which sentence was supposed to be omitted? I picked the one where it said that “braces help your health blah blah or something” but I think someone said it was the sentence that said “Tom Cruise’s braces are expensive or blahh blahh”. Which one was the correct one?</p>

<p>I think I chose the first sentence, it repeated what the second sentence said.</p>

<p>Braces help improve your health and appearance was most certainly the best answer!</p>

<p>In braces and Tom Cruise, how did you answer the question that asked to replace the “thing” with something more specific?</p>

<p>I think it was one of the two word combinations, but I don’t remember which one.</p>

<p>I answered unsightly contraptions.</p>

<p>Why is it not “Tom Cruise’s braces are expensive blahblah”? It seems out of place to me… not connected to anything else.</p>

<p>Wasn’t the 2.3 question a graph showing the distance to a river, or something.
It was basically a graph that, and you had to locate the x-coordinate of the lowest y point on it. Extremely easy.
And I agree with the sentence to be deleted on the Braces passage: ‘Braces help improve your health and appearance.’ Definitely shouldn’t introduce a new idea at the end of a paragraph.</p>

<p>anyone remember the SC question</p>

<p>The candidate’s remarks were so _____ that even the critics couldn’t …</p>

<p>was that one innocuous or uproarious(?)</p>

<p>innocuous. 10char</p>

<p>darn okay this is depressing :frowning: can anyone predict the curve? will it be the same as the American one?</p>

<p>does anyone remember any more questions from the Tom Cruise braces part?</p>

<p>Innocuous, yep.</p>

<p>You guys remember a question about the author’s attitude towards “TV” in the passage about a father riding a motorbike? I chose “disdain” but not very sure since the author’s attitude should be negative but not too much negative as disdain?
And another Math question about how many points that have integer coordinates are in the INTERIOR of a rectangular that has vertexes: (3,2), (-3,2), (-3,-2) and (3,-2). I chose 15 since the points which are ON the rectangular are irrelevant</p>
