    ✨ ABOUT ME
    My name is Duncan and I am a Maths Graduate in Scotland with a passion for maths and relaxation! I am an ASMR UA-camr and plan to go on to teach maths at high school level in the coming years. I am very enthusiastic about teaching and to help me improve and get practice before entering the world of work I have created this channel to help people learn about mathematics at all levels all whilst having a good night's sleep.

    Interesting to see an overwhelming amount of comments regarding this question as "easy". I personally find it about reasonable for the standard of maths in Scotland. You have to remember particular areas of maths is taught differently around the world!

    I have to be honest, I’m quite surprised that this is the question that caused a petition. I’ve looked at Scottish papers in the past and I feel like there have been much harder problems than this. The trickiest questions tend to be the ones which test more than one skill but this question was only using one maths technique. I’ve looked at the specification and unless it’s been updated, this is actually explicitly mentioned on there. I think there are worse questions that examiners have set, not undermining this one though. I hope I haven’t made anyone feel bad.

    I cant remember which year, but back in my final year of Secondary education, 6th year, i resat higher maths due to failing it the previous year. I studied harder, 100percented most of the unit tests and in the final exam? The test was deemed so difficult the pass-mark was lowered from 50percent down to THIRTY FIVE. i had scored 39, over half the exam were units we hadnt been taught (In the first couple months of 6th year i had began to learn Advanced-higher, THAT wasnt as difficult_

      @@TheDarkSide11891 In Bavaria for the Abitur, this type of question could be asked in the part where you aren't allowed to use a calculator, but most points will be on the "explain your solution part" where you need to explain what you are doing and why it works (yes, you need to explain how and why the Pythagoras theorem works in 3 dimensions).
      And even then it wouldn't be considered one of the harder questions.

    as a student in Singapore, i feel like this question isn't hard, i managed to work it out without any paper just by applying pythagoras' theorem. we learnt this at 14 yrs old. i think this question just requires the Scottish students to think more critically in a three dimensional plane but overall it is not hard.

    A more fun version of this question can be:
    If the umbrella is held at point M then at what height from base will the umbrella perfectly fit.
    OR
    At what length(dioganally) from opposite corner will it perfectly fit when held from P.
    OR
    Assuming displacement from both points P and M what are the first distances(from N/Opposite base corner) at which the umbrella will perfectly fit.
