    I'm certain his solution is fine... 1:30am is a bad time for this. I'll show it to an alert american or something... I want a second person to tell me it's wrong.

    Equations can have variables other than x!

    lol, i know, the way he wrote it I thought it was a quadratic in X not C.

    I'm pretty sure they come out when the results are out. The marking schemes are definately not made until after the exams. theyre made over the summer and are probably available to the public after the results. maybe before, but not anytime soon.

    Well if a, b and c are consecutive terms in a geometric sequence, then b/a = c/b.

    So you get this

    And then go on a cancelling spree and end up with n = -1, which obviously isn't a natural number.

    you got it right but [C^2 - C.X + 1 = 0] isn't a quadratic. you're missing an X squared.

    ermmm i think you'll find its a quadratic.
    not in x but in C?
    ppl often have difficulty with this for some reason

    Agreed, and a very nice solution it is too.

    Well done, Cunning! Thou art veritably eponymous!
