Who else wrote like 4 lines for question 4? I spent 25 minutes trying to figure out why it was worth 10 marks.

Which one was question 4? Was that the one where you output the contents of a linked list? If so... Yea I was wondering why that was 10 marks too, I felt like I was missing something. Then again question 1 was like that too.

ya, that's the one, i guess its like 1 mark per word for that one. Just seems weird the sort was like 4x as much for the same marks.
P.S. Op, was this thread a level?

Dr. Qiao usually bell curves to pass as many students as reasonably possible. And yes, his questions are worth a lot more than they should be.
Also if you think 2S03 was crazy, wait for 2C03 next term.
