Cambridge interview seemed to go well (…) - as my mum and then Dr Eves - and then even a hallucination of Dr Eves - said, fingers crossed. Discussed P =? NP and other such lulz, as well as some memorable maths questions (I have an infinite string of bits, initially all zeroed. I increment this binary number repeatedly for a long time. In the long run, if altering a bit is one operation, what is the mean number of operations per increment?)**.
Algorithmics from now on:
| Conditional Firm ~ 1st choice | Conditional Insurance ~ 2nd choice |
| if(CambridgeOffer) then Cambridge, else Imperial | Edinburgh |
* that’s two grade 1s in STEP
** my guess is two, but… uh…

Did you recieve the offer in the end? Hopefully you did, your Imperial JMC article was very helpful…
I did - I made my Cambridge offer - it turned out to be AAA12 (I got AAAA12) - what stage of the process are you at?
