I think all of you MUST console and tell your kids about the moderation part and that everyone’s going to be fine. No doubt it’s a difficult paper, there will still be a generous distribution of A and A* grades, if that’s what they are expecting.


A student from a certain top school is intending to suicide because of this morning’s paper. Hearsay.

My gal's answer is 345.

Qs something as follow:
String of 2 big balloons is 90cm
String of 5 small balloons is is 1.2m

If both strings are of the same length, there would be 105 more small balloons than the big balloons. How many balloons are there altogether?

90/2 = 45 (Big balloons)
120/5 = 24 (Small balloons)

Common multiple of 24 and 45 is 360.
360/45 = 8
360/24 = 15
15-8 = 7
105/7 =15
15x (8+15) = 345
Number of balloons altogether is 345
