GCSE students took their Edexcel maths exam this morning, and it seems fair to say that it was a bit of a stinker.
Post #EdexcelMaths
Using the hashtag #EdexcelMaths, they are mocking the paper on Twitter.
Me during the stem and leaf diagram question & me during every other question #EdexcelMaths
One question in particular, about Hannah and her sweets, was not exactly popular.
"Hannah has 6 yellow sweets, prove that n2-n-90=0" me: well that escalated quickly #EdexcelMaths
me when the question about hannah's sweets came up #EdexcelMaths
Hannah eats some sweets. Calculate the circumference of Jupiter using your tracing paper and a rusty spoon. (5 marks) #EdexcelMaths
This was literally me when Hannah's stupid sweet question came up #EdexcelMaths
There was also a question about a guy called Karl, who apparently sucks at raising money for charity.
When you only raise a tenner for charity #EdexcelMaths
Karl going the extra mile with £10 for a charity #EdexcelMaths
can the grade boundaries be as low as the amount that lad raised for charity please #EdexcelMaths
There was one about a girl called Raksha and her poor timekeeping.
If Raksha wanted to get to Horton on time she should've left earlier #EdexcelMaths
One about someone called Mary, who wanted a conservatory.
At least Mary had enough money to buy tiles for her conservatory, can't say the same about my future. #EdexcelMaths
The real question is why was Marys conservatory shaped like that #EdexcelMaths
And one about someone called Jane and some cheese, which is making people pretty angry.
Why did Jane bother cutting her cheese into two different shaped cuboids if she wanted the same volume. Ffs Jane. #EdexcelMaths
I was about to make a cheese sandwich but when I got the block of cheese out I had flashbacks #EdexcelMaths
But at least they now know where to buy their plants.
Never off to hedge world again, it's a right rip off #EdexcelMaths
When HedgeWorld try to charge you £63 for 25 plants #EdexcelMaths
Just off to kirstys plants to grab myself a bargain #EdexcelMaths x
It had all started off so perfectly.
when I saw the stem&leaf diagram on the first page of #EdexcelMaths
stem & leaf question vs n2-n-90=0 #EdexcelMaths
3/100 thanks to stem and leaf👍🏻 #EdexcelMaths
Oh well. John's always around to help.
I'm going to stab myself in the eye with all of those pencils john bought for the conference #edexcelmaths
Can you solve the question about Hannah's sweets that's left teenagers across the country stumped?
Here's the question:
Hannah has 6 orange sweets and some yellow sweets.
Overall, she has n sweets.
The probability of her taking 2 orange sweets is 1/3.
Prove that: n^2-n-90=0
And this is how you solve it:
#EdexcelMaths To all the idiots crying over the Hannah's sweets question, maybe y'all should have stopped panicking.
So now you know.
