OMG, grow some eyes.

So anyway now my eyes hurt from playing San Andreas, let's recount Bob's physics paper. Firstly, there's the multiple choice section. You think "ah multiple choice, any monkey could do this" Well, maybe you'd be right, if any monkey happened to be called Einstein. They're HARD. But I'd done my revision and I reckon I should have got 12 +- 2 out of 15. The +- is for guesses. Then there was the written bit. ARRRGGH. The first question. "Errk". It was a 4 mark thing explaining something I didn't really get. I left it out and carried on, the next bit was a simple calculation... skipping ahead a bit because I can't remember anything else about that paper, I came back to the first question and wrote some stuff. I think I missed out about 2 marks worth of important detail though, thinking about it.
The next paper was the nuclear instability and astrophysics topic. The first question: "ARRRRBGGHHDSOIJASDJOKASDSDJLKA". It was some graph. You had to draw. But I didn't remember the shape of the graph and they didn't give values. So I did the written question after it, and while panicking, I casually glanced across at the person next to me and copied the shape of his graph, *cough*. Whether I got all the things in the right place is another matter though. Next was the astro bit of the paper, that was ok. Except I could have stabbed the paper when it said "draw a ray diagram", but anyway, I bravely attempted to draw a ray diagram. It came out "ok".
Some dude I know called Phil, who's better than me at physics couldn't do the last question. But I could. Mwahha. Sorry, Phil. Part of it said; verify by calulation that some value is correct. I was like "you only gave me two values (one of which was the answer I was supposed to be proving, so effectively I had two unknowns), what kind of crap (genius) formula would let me work that out". Then it dawned on me. I'd seen the same question in a past paper, and they'd divided something by 20. I couldn't for the life of me work out where the 20 came from, but I tried diving this value by 20 as well, and sure enough, the right answer popped out.
So in conclusion, it could have been better but it could have been much much worse.

There's a word for basts like that...
...physicists.
