Thanks, ya i guess it is pretty impossible to predict was just wondering did any of the teachers have any insight that I wasn't aware of.
Had a look around at most of the projects up here out of interest and I'm so impressed, the new solidworks looks a lot more advanced than last year. And if some of ye are worried about the results being split into 40-60 don't, its grand, I honestly didn't expect much of mine last year and I ended up gettin full marks in the project and the best overall result in DCG in the country.. random as hell, and by the looks of it you guys all have a way higher standard of work. Good luck with it anyways

Where are you from?

Haha. Ok so if im spoofing those two awards i got for my dcg result last year must be made up too from the techno teachers association and the etta.. god you guys are so cynical, why would I be arsed making up such a thing. The guy from castlebar got the highest male result in the country and i got the highest female result, we sat beside each other at the presentation in UL, so don't be so quick to judge. All I was doing was wishing you all luck, and sharing my opinion but whatever.

Awh that's so nice you're teacher is sayin that Yeah, they give out medals for top results, its really strange but yeah.. My school made such a big deal about it, but that's Leitrim for ya!:p teachers love it when girls do well in tech cos usually only 10% or less of the students who do it are girls. And by the way I wasn't tryin to brag on here, my friend dared me to say it! Haha

Can anyone please help me!!

I am trying to download some of the worksheets from the t4 website as a source of revision but every time I try to unzip them it says access denied - is there a password or something that I am missing?

I have another question

if anyone did this question on the mocks or went over it with their dcg teacher or someone

can you please tell me where this red line come from

http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/1953915/picture01-jun-05-02-49-line-highlighted-jpg-june-5-2010-3-00-am-37k?da=y

I thought it was the horizontal trace of the plane that contained the lamina, as you need to get the dihedral angle between the two planes [part (ii) of question] - also the other line used for the dihedral angle (the blue one) seems to be the horizontal trace of the lamina on the left.
but when I try and get the horizontal trace of the lamina on the right I get the green line.

So can anyone tell me please where it is that I am going wrong because I am really confused. - Way above my teacher as he doesn't have a clue about anything dcg related, so I can't even ask him anyway.

Oh, - I don't know why you have to download the pictures but I guarantee that they are no viruses
