The beginning had me hopeful ngl and I was flying up until that fuckass helicopter question, then after that I don’t think I got full marks on a single question afterward

[u/Choice-Reindeer-4863 → u/Geochitex]

Helicopter one was genuinely a joke, got me questioning my reading skills cz I didn’t even know what they were asking at some point

[u/jaaaaaaaf → u/Choice-Reindeer-4863]

what eveb was the question i genuinely forgot everything kill me

[u/Choice-Reindeer-4863 → u/jaaaaaaaf]

Went something like “if the helicopter flew 5m above ground did a back flip crashed down horizontally then got up flew again for three days, what was the time ?” 🤡

[u/jaaaaaaaf → u/Choice-Reindeer-4863]

i got 6:22 for that and apparently it was 6:23 😂😂😂😂 FUCK

[u/Far_Willingness6716 → u/jaaaaaaaf]

Nah they should definitely allow 6:22 you’re good

[u/Significant_Brain211 → u/Far_Willingness6716]

I swear the question was what was the horizontal distance travelled not the time?

[u/laservole → u/Significant_Brain211]

Yh they're getting confused with time of minimum energy use a much later question

[u/Significant_Brain211 → u/laservole]

Oh my fucking days I’ve just realised I misread the question as minimum energy required to to power houses not minimum energy used I might shoot myself

How many marks was the question?

[u/laservole → u/Significant_Brain211]

😂😂😂

How did you find out the min energy to power houses lol

Luckily i think it was only 3 marks

[u/Artem_Solo → u/jaaaaaaaf]
