Huiting and I had just emerged out of a battlefield, with half of our brains fried, with eyes that are tired of rolling at the enemies, flabbergasted, and the enemies are....

The Questions in the Math Competition.

I mean like, WHAT KIND OF QS IS THAT??? Or those,f or that matter. Are Australians like, maths whizs or smtg??!! So many of the questions are so so so difficult! AND GUESS WHAT.

NO calculators allowed.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH. ALL the numbers are like, SO BIg. And apparently they love the number 2008, so the number 2008 was used frequently by them in the questions. AND there's ALOT of square roots/perfect squares qs with really huge number so you have to constantly work out smtg like 69 X 69 or 44 x 44. -.- SOMEMORE. They purposely give the questions in such a way that there is NO WAY for you to work backwards. It's MCQ, and most of the time we use the options given to work backwards right???? But they'll make it such a way that it is near IMPOSSIBLE to do so. Just look at one:

A number is less than 2008. It is odd, it leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 3 and a remainder of 4 when divided by 5. What is the SUM of the digits of the LARGEST such number?
a) 26 b) 25 c) 24 d) 23 e) 22

Another one:

25 different positive integers add to 2008. What is the largest value that the least of them can have?
a) 65 b) 66 c) 67 d) 68 e) 69

AHHHHHHH. Look at the second qs. What is LARGEST value the LEAST of them can have????!!!! How come largest and least exist together? I totally so DUN understand the qs la. And FYI, I dunnoe how to do both.

HMPH..... Oh well. Imjust gonna avoid this thing forever. Which I should have done in the first place. Waste my brain cells................................................


AND OH Look at this!
Hidden Van Gogh revealed in color by scientists
It's saying how the pro scientists in today's advanced society managed to uncover the art works beneath the paintings! As in, apparently Mr. Van Gogh reused his canvas many times, so there's like, layers and layers of art work below the final product. So in one canvas there could be like 3 art works, except the below two are being covered over.

Cool right???? Im kind of awed at today's technology! The scientists used this virtual 3 D image of the painting and literally peel of the layers one by one. Isnt it amazing?

Ahh. This post is kind of lame.... =D
