  So it doesn't matter if every student gets the 2 marks or not since you say entry score will be adjusted anyway.

  Yeah it doesnt matter to the students. But the parents will complain....so they give everyone 2 marks so that there will be less complaints

  No, you're trying to prove to us that you are smarter than those kids who took the PSLE exam.

  Yeah, go bask in the glory of defeating those unworthy PSLE kids.
  
  Who knows next year, you might be able to solve another question from the PSLE Maths paper too.
  
  2 in a row will certainly cement your reputation as a math prodigy among the Primary sixers.

  It wants students to realise that a 2 mark mcq question cannot think until so cheem one.. just flip the triangle and get the answer

  It's principles here. MOE obviously made this error. No matter what methods you use, if it is a correctly-set question, you're expected to get the same answer. Shame on the setters!
  
  Also hmmm, Coolmyth, maths prodigy ah? Same boat. My teacher asked me to teach Sec 2 Express Maths in Sec 2. I was like ah.
