I am a student who just took the paper.There were a few killer questions but it depends on your child and me.Last question,according to all my friends,was hard.There was 1 question in Paper 1 Booklet B where many of my friends go tricked.Something to do with \"for every 2 men,there are at least 3 women in between.\" The answer is 28.Did your DC get correct?


definitely 28...
people who put 44 grouped the people as groups of 5. this is wrong as each grp --> man woman woman woman man
but in this pattern, the next person will be man.
you can't have 2 men together!!!

MY DS says for any 2 men there are 3 women[/quote]


This question mentioned sth about maximum / minimum, so which one they want? Can someone answer?

THE QUESTION WAS (simplified) sorry for the caps btw

110 people in the queue. Between any 2 men at least 3 women. What's the maximum number of men?

Actually I have three of the highlighters in a separate casing, so I only take out the yellow and green highlighters and put them in the 'gutter'.

My dd told me the question is there is always 3 women between 2 men

Boy! that is way too much
For some one like my DD , choosing would be very difficult. She would probably neatly line them up, and take turns using them as \"they\" would feel bad if each of them did not get a chance to be used. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
