Watson, Crick & A Twist
The following diagram compares diagnostic test questions for potential incoming students seeking entry to Chinese and English Universities.
Frankly, the purpose of the two questions is different, as the parent article point out.
Still, it provides an interesting cultural contrast.
The lower question is of course an absolute gimme - intended to weed out those in need of remedial math classes.
What is the answer to the top problem?
If you think you have BOTH right answer sets you can participate in a drawing for a prize of 500 pounds. (OK, and if you do get the right answer you will also get some green here of the vVariety). buckiprof and others with a clear advantage need not apply - this is really for the non-Math or High School - Frosh readers.
