Marking
The question paper carries 80 marks, broken up into four questions of 20 marks each.
Each question has three parts. If you solve all three parts correctly, you get 20 marks for
that question. Otherwise, you get 5 marks for each part that you solve correctly.
Some students found Question 4 ambiguouswhether or not it was possible to pass
through the terminal city and return to it more than once. Option (ii) corresponds
to the (mis)interpretation that this is not allowed. For question 4, compute the score
independently according to 4(i) and 4(ii), and then take the maximum of the two.
