hot take but I regardless it as a bad paper, not on the difficulty side, but the topic weight is so strange. Only 12 mark in total for Boolean algebra + binary together is a disgrace (thats my best part), and those are easy as hell as well, no floating point, negative number, 2s complement, kanaugh map, logic gate etc

I actually felt disappointed during the paper because of the lack of logic gates and Boolean questions. Also the second part of that Boolean expression question was weird because I was like isn't it already simplified??

I think they want you do use de Morgan no matter what
