#hannahssweets (Edexcel GCSE Maths 2015)

There are n sweets in a bag. 6 of the sweets are orange. The rest of the sweets are yellow.

Hannah takes a random sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet.

Hannah then takes at random another sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet.

The probability that Hannah eats two orange sweets is 1/3.

Show that n² – n – 90 = 0.

6/n x 5/n-1 = 1/3

6 x 5/n(n-1) = 30/(n2 – n) = 1/3

Or 90/(n2 – n) = 1

So (n2 – n) = 90

And n2 – n – 90 = 0

The Clown Punk (AQA GCSE English 2015)

Driving home through the shonky side of town,three times out of ten you’ll see the town clown,like a basket of washing that got upand walked, towing a dog on a rope. But

 

Don’t laugh: every pixel of that man’s skinis shot through with indelible ink;as he steps out at the traffic lights,think what he’ll look like in thirty years’ time -

 

The deflated face and shrunken scalpstill daubed with the sad tattoos of high punk.You kids in the back seat who wince and screamwhen he slathers his daft mush on the windscreen,

 

Remember the clown punk with his dyed brain,then picture windscreen wipers, and let it rain.

Heteroglossia [competing voices]

The juxtaposition of competing voices, social personae or perspectives, in a

single text, described by Mikhail Bakhtin.

Heteroglossia [competing voices]

It is not experience that organises expression, but the other way around –

expression organises experience. Expression is what first gives experience its form and

specificity of direction…

Valentin Volosinov, 1973

Sir Tim Hunt, Nobel Laureate

Talking about women in the lab he said “three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they

fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry.”
