Applied by 15 October?
Waiting for an Oxford or Cambridge interview
Most invitations come in November. Interviews are in December. The weeks in between are for practising out loud.
TutorWhich is bigger, 2¹⁰⁰ or 3⁶⁰?
YouBoth are huge. I could take logs, but I don't know log 3 well enough.
Hint100 and 60 are both multiples of 20.
YouOh, so 2¹⁰⁰ = 32²⁰ and 3⁶⁰ = 27²⁰. 32 is bigger than 27, so 2¹⁰⁰ wins. Check: 2⁵ = 32 and 3³ = 27. Yes.
