We can never admit when we've made a mistake, so people with too much spare time on their hands come up with some completely irrational explanation as to why someone handed out the wrong paper. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Everyone makes mistakes. Ok, well in saying that, not all mistakes cost the Gov. an extra million quid, but this kind of thing is bound to happen every now and then. I can't help feeling sorry for the poor dude. He clearly panicked once he realised what he'd done and just freaked. But why did he have p2 in the first place? Is it not supposed to be issued on the day on which it is to be sat? Well that's what I thought anyway. This new paper could have similar enough stuff on it, with any luck. The 2 different parties who set the papers have never met, therefore neither have eliminated nor included material the other has or has not, as the case may be. Also, I'd hope the markers would take this whole kerfuffle into account when correcting. Not so as to adopt an easier marking scheme or anything, just to be a tiny bit more considerate, if you catch my drift..? I agree, everyone just needs to chill out. No amount of complaining or moaning will get you anywhere. Just sit the frickin' exam and move swiftly on. Ireland crumbling to pieces is great fun to watch, has to be said.

Not really. I blame sheer carelessness, but, I like your style! As far as this thread has shown: jumping to conclusions is fun! However, I wonder will the investigation be published? Or, made available under the Freedom of Information Act?

YOU didn't know what was coming up on the original, like you don't know whats coming up on the next one.. What exactly is the difference??? Just because you know what came up today.. Yet theres still no knowing.. Just study and stop coming on here moaning about it.
