About the marking...

Some studentQuotes:
  • Proof: By intuition...
  • The fundamental theorem of linear programming says that every feasible solution is a basic feasible solution. (Of course this is not the fundamental theorem of LP...not even close.)
  • I hope you enjoyed marking this question as much as I enjoyed leaving it blank.
Weird things: People drew fabulous artworks on the exam papers. I saw one with a vase with flowers, and Nathan saw one with a large baseball stadium that contains a lot of details like the bleachers and lights. Also, there's a mysterious phenomenon where a coefficient of 5 on the variable x_5 is lost in about 20 papers...in another instance, one student copied a coefficient of 1 on x_5 as 5...in yet another instance, a wrong solution was presented, but when writing the conclusion, the right solution appeared...it's all very very weird.

Ipod envy: Bertrand brought an ipod nano with him, and sometimes it takes some effort to get his attention, which was really funny. Later, Nathan brought an ipod (original) with him too, and there was ipod envy towards the nano... Some time even later, it took some effort to get Nathan's attention as well, so Bertrand felt redeemed that he's not the only one to do that. Hehehe...
