    Well, what did you all think? personally, didn't like the way they put in a new type of question for Q1 part D. But I'm fairly sure I got it anyway. As with Question 7 part b. Never seen that before.. I still think I got my A though

    For Q1 part D was all you had to do was once you got the shortest distance line just extend it to meet the horizontal plane? That's all I did. Happy enough with it I suppose except for not spotting what to do in Q3 (a) in time. (im teh stupor)

    yea that's what I did aswell (thank you skew-bore holes) I nearly messed up Q 3 a few times as well. It was a bit tricky all right. BTW just to be sure, there was no loci in Q3 was there :confused:

    Didn't even get past part (a).. Spent half an hour considering suicide with my compass until it dawned on me that where the bisectors of a triangle meet is the centre of a circle inside the triangle. Hadn't time to attempt the rest then :( Think I got the other questions almost perfect though.

    Thats what i did too. A chap in my class did some mad complicated thing creating a new plane with the point where the shortest distance was, and other points. I thought he was MAD.

    my angle was 30degrees (or so).

    Overall i thought that paper was pretty hard, the area conversion took me nearly 40 mins, and i usually have it out in 10-15 mins! That really threw me off for the whole paper.

    And roughly what diameters did people get for their cylinder in the solids on contact question? i got about 25mm

    sh1t, I got one like 100mm. Oh dear god, I just realised I did a cone instead of a cylinder :o:o. Ah well got evrything else OK

    glad to see i help everyone realise their mistakes. Feel free to spam me with messages going "You barsteward, you made me realise i screwed up my exam" etc etc :p

    I got 2 questions right (47+/50), 1 question i got at least 45/50 and one is pretty dodgy, 35+/50. So i'd say i'm out of the A bracket :(

    I answered 2 questions fully, didn't have time to finish Q2, nor did I finish Q5, I think I may only have gotten a C3 in it :mad: :(
