Science needs to be open, honest and objective.

Most students will have followed the misleading 'hence' and got the wrong but officially approved answer of about $6500. This one worked out the correct answer $4875 which would be marked as wrong. https://t.co/gKzTdSC9vM

Can you spot the mistake in question 7 of this Feb 2026 IGCSE maths exam paper?

@nmrqip Yes. So the word 'hence' shows that the IGCSE question setters didn't understand this simple point. And their official answer of $6500 for min cost is wrong, it should be $4875.

@demurely38 @BBCCountryfile Yes. Maybe #countryfile should do a piece on bird identification next week!

"the Mann/Jones GRL paper was truly pathetic and should never have been published. I don't want to be associated with that 2000 year "reconstruction"." - Ray Bradley, Michael Mann's co-author

@richardabetts Seems like perfectly fair criticism to me. And why did you use an image of his tweet?
