AI Thread Summary
The Euclid Math Contest is marked based on specific criteria for short answer and full solution questions. Short answer questions are worth 3 marks, with full marks awarded for correct answers placed in designated boxes, while part marks require relevant work shown. Full solution questions are worth 10 marks and must be clearly presented in the answer booklet, with marks given for completeness and clarity. Poorly presented correct solutions will not receive full marks. For further guidance, examples with solutions are available on the contest's official website.

TL;DR Summary
I am looking for a marked student sample of a past Euclid Contest paper.
I am looking for more details on how the Euclid contest is actually marked. I search for and failed to find a student sample that was officially marked, to see if I can get an idea of how strict they are with including justification and presentation of your work, especially for "full solution" questions. If someone has a sample, that was be immensely helpful. Or can someone help me to gain a better understanding on how the much clarity does one need to include to gain full marks on a question. Thank you in advanced.



The rules on the exam paper for short answer and full solution questions are below.


1. SHORT ANSWER parts indicated by

worth 3 marks each

full marks given for a correct answer which is placed in the box

part marks awarded only if relevant work is shown in the space provided

2. FULL SOLUTION parts indicated by

worth the remainder of the 10 marks for the question

must be written in the appropriate location in the answer booklet

marks awarded for completeness, clarity, and style of presentation

a correct solution poorly presented will not earn full marks

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
