    I don't know haven't heard that.
    They'll probably decide at the conference held for correctors to review the marking scheme.
    Q6c will probably be altered anyway

    They could do, it's happened before - depends how many people do badly on part c. They'll just swap around marks a bit.

    If it's usually 10/20/20, it could end up 15/20/15 or 15/25/10, all depends how everyone did over-all, and what the marking scheme is like/altered to

    Judging by what i've seen here and the general consensus, Q1(c) will undoubtedly be altered. Way too many people came out of that exam on Friday saying they couldn't do that part of the question.

    1 (c) was easy. I got full marks in the whole question. Can't say the same for some of the other C's though. If you want I could do it out here.

    And also, I keep reading rumours of the marking scheme being changed because someones "friend" said so. We need a proper source before we get our hopes up.

    Rate of interest was 4%.

    Starting money was 5500.

    Really wasn't that hard ;)
