432 / 4 = 108, so it means the number is the last number in the 108th row.
108th row is an even row. Last number in the even row ends in Column A.

NOO.. my ds thought even ends in D

My DS ends in column D. So wrong.

DD2 just came back and told me that she finished:

Paper 1: About 25 min (time allocated was 50 min)
Paper 2: About 35 min (time allocated was 1 h 40 min)

Really makes me :yikes:

VC's mum

Ya, I pretty worried too. DS finished his paper 1 in 35mins and paper 2 in 1 hour. He said loads of time, and I worried that he \"chiong\" too fast and missed something. He was such that if he didn't get his first answer correct, he would never be able to spot his own mistake!

What about question on rectangle and square in paper 1, anyone has the ans?

MummySTay:

Any idea what the question is about?

Accordingly to DD2, question was something like this:
Two wires of the same length are used to make a rectangle and a square. The length of the rectangle is 5 times that of its breadth. The length of the square is 9.2 cm shorter than the length of the rectangle. What is the length of the rectangle.

VC's mum

23cm

the answer is 24 days everyone in my class got that. the person started reading on saturday so:
15x4=60
30x3=90
90+60=150 - 1 week
525/150=3 r 75
75 - 30+30+15
3x7=21
21+3=24

[quote=\"MummySTay\"]Hi Guitar, how did u get 26? Because Qn 15 asks for least no. of days. I agree this is a trick question, so cannot start reading on Mon. Must start on either Thurs or Fri. Then can get 24 days. My DD also got 26, but she knows her answer is wrong.

Aiyo, i got 26 also. My son said it's 24. So the answer is 26 or 24?

Ans. 24 days[/quote]I got this wrong as I wrote 26. But 2 of my friends got it right
they wrote 22. they started on friday
PS:they usually get 100 in math
