I wish I had real exams this year...
Because of covid they are all open book, but to compensate, they made them substantially more difficult and take 6 hours to complete.

They release our exams at 9:30 am and we have to finish them, scan, and upload them within 6 hours of release. Last one I barely managed to upload within 1 minute of the deadline. They not only made the questions conceptually harder, but also arbitrarily harder like asking for extra numerical iterations that are unnecessary...
The cunts gave us past exam papers for revision and they are all extremely easy compared to what they are giving us. I may barely scrape a first this year.

That's pretty easy.
The actual answer is 12.070252689981266502383375084754213538698501320440345403411150321...
sqrt((x+a)(y+b)) ~ sqrt(xy) + (a/2)*sqrt(y/x) + (b/2)*sqrt(x/y)
You could do the normie thing and let x=16, a=0.01, y=9, b=0.1
This gets you the answer 12.07041666...
OR
You could be annoying and let x = (4+1/800)^2 , a = -1/640000, y = (3+1/60)^2, b = -1/3600
This gets you the answer 12.070252691378097199137240146524192773552003488780842542874780728

I actually like long exams, but three and a half hours is the longest I ever had. I don't understand why some people hate long exams, how long would you stay online or playing a videogame.

But six hours is pushing it a bit. Still, I'd do it no problem, but I'd like a break or two to stretch my legs.

My normal exams are 3 hours. They doubled the time, increased number of questions and made them harder.

Open note exams make more sense anyway. When in practice would you ever not be able to look up a definition or equation you had forgotten?

there were no calculators allowed, we had to do the long division by hand.
