Simms or something, isn't it?

Nah, Buttimore. Though now you mention it Simms set more or less the same schols papers every year, which was awesome. It did indeed change after my year as well, but that's cause the course changed to combine his two subjects into one.

Who copied who?

According to this post it was waaay before your attempt late last year. I'm trying to find the photos of my first attempt. Approximately September 2007 I'm guessing as I lost one of my first batch that Freshers' Week.

That is a terrible attempt, it's fat and ugly. 2x6/2x8 for the win.

Which exam was this?!

SF in general. Failed summer exams in 2006. Decided not to bother doing resits that summer and do the entire year over instead.
Failed SF summer exams again in 2007, sat resits September 2007, failed again. Ah well, wasn't to be.
Though in fairness, I should have studied.

Well, if it were that predictable, this would surely not be necessary:

That was from after the course was changed.

I'm sure it's been mentioned a million times but those owls at the desk in the Lecky irritate the Hell out of me. What kind of sane, adult would cover their work place in wooden owls?

It's still remarkably predictable. The paper was today, and every question was on the list that is used by that script (which is only 25 or so questions whn you exclude the ones no longer on the course).

Ah yes, A 5x2+1x2 and the spinny around thingy. That was a good one.

Did I make a lid for that one?

Too true.

Yup but I promptly lost it.

I'm sure antiselfdual can elaborate (he's the guy that wrote the list/script linked to).

Nope. It was to cover the join between the 2x1 and 2x4 to create the illusion of a 2x5. It also brought the height in line with the flat 5x2 that went from it to 2 beyond the tip and acted as a click for a 2x2 cap to create a long 7x2 brick with the USB completely enclosed.

Like this (in layers)

Layer one (thin)
oo|ooooo
oo|ooooo

Layer 2 (normal) - actual usb container
o|oooo oo
o|oooo oo

And then a (thin) base of 
ooooooo

No, surprisingly enough this has never been mentioned. I suppose that it might be just that most people aren't annoyed by owl figurines. They belong to the BESS librarian. I think she's awesome. Helped me out majorly with a project in 2nd year.

Ooooh, that sucks man, have security got any leads? Did anyone near you notice anyone suspicious?

Well I was giving out about it earlier in this thread so I thought i'd update people. :P

Na, a bug apparently.

@ House of Wolves- that absolutely sucks. Stealing a laptop is bad but during exams is horrible.

If you are in SF BESS law (LA2012) pm me your email and ill send you on my notes for that course.

Again, **** buzz. sorry for your trouble.

House of Wolves

yea i reported to security straight away but they didnt seem to concerned to be honest. the other girl was nearly in tears and doing her finals so she got it way worse than me, Il get over it but the finances for a new laptop and ipod are going to be extremely hard to come by just be on the look out and sit in more crowded places rather than the quite ones to laptop carriers!
Also thanks bright for the offer because I am SF BESS law!

There was a helicopter hovering over the Rathmines/Cowper area at 2 am last night. This morning at 8am, a man stood right outside my window using a chainsaw-esque hedgetrimmer for an hour and a half. Right in the middle of a student accomodation complex. I could still hear it with my earplugs in. FML.

Ah, I went for a walk around halls at about that time and I was wondering what that big light in the sky was. Mystery solved.
I didnt hear a chopper though......

I am trying to study in my apartment for my 9.30 exam tomorrow morning, but I can't concentrate because all I can smell is weed smoke from the apartment beneath me. I seriously feel like reporting them to college security, I have put up with it all bloody year - just because they don't have bloody exams doesn't mean they should ruin it for the rest of us, especially when they are supposed to have a special interest in education
