Is this year harder than last year?
What do you approximate the cut off point to be?

What do you think the cut-off point would be for bronze?

Anonymous said...

Question 16:
AP = either 27 or 29

27 + 29 = 56

Can anyone clarify this thanks.

Anonymous said...

What do you think is the cut-off point for Bronze. Is about 10 points enough?

Anonymous said...

Based on past years result 10 points in enough for Bronze I am wondering whats the cop for hon mention though

Anonymous said...

What's the estimated minimum for bronze?

Anonymous said...

Do you find the difficulty of the paper to be similar, easier, or tougher compared to other years?

Unknown said...

I think this paper was tougher than other years, what do you guys think?

Anonymous said...

Do you guys think 8 is just enough for bronze?

Anonymous said...

I also got exactly 8, hoping for a bronze

Anonymous said...

Same, really hope it's just enough

Anonymous said...

No, AP is either 25 or 26.

First, note that triangles ADQ and AQP are similar such that DQ/QA=AQ/AP and hence AQ^2=DQ*AP.
Next, AD^2 + DQ^2 = AQ^2 = DQ*AP such that 12^2+DQ^2=DQ(34-DQ), yielding DQ=8 or 9 and hence AP = 25 or 26

Anonymous said...

Hi, dont think the cutoff is so high cos my friend and i got 15 and we both got into round 2.

Anonymous said...

15 for junior can get in ? I feel this year harder than last year.

Anonymous said...

I got around 16, but still got into round 2, so I don't think the cut-off is that high

Anonymous said...

Anyone knows how to do question 4? The question is on tourist.

Anonymous said...

You got to realise (and prove) that if there are n tourists, the minimum would be (n - 7) tourists. Since the minimum number of tourists is 10, the minimum would thus be 10 - 7 = 3.

Anonymous said...

Just consider when n = 10 to 13, there is a way to get 3 tourists only.

Anonymous said...
