1:15 NZQA's 'Impossible' Maths Question

NZQA has published a report, into an impossible-to-answer question in an NCEA maths exam. The panel has found that the question was a late addition and was not checked independently. The report recommends changes to NCEA and Scholarship maths exams, including independent checks of late changes to exam papers, specific training for exam-writers on common errors, and formal recording of mistakes and their causes.

Margaret Priest, is head of maths at Wellington Girls' College.

Simon Nathan is delivering a talk at the Royal Society tomorrow on Sir James Hector - who would be 183 years old. He was one of New Zealand’s most influential scientists, dominating the field for decades in the nineteenth century. Hector established the Colonial Museum which today is Te Papa, an earthquake-monitoring system that would eventually became GeoNet, and founded the New Zealand Institute which is today’s Royal Society of New Zealand Te Apārangi.

3:10 Why does time fly?

For the past 10 years, science journalist Alan Burdick has been studying something elusive, mysterious and yet universal: time. What is it? How do we measure time and why do we experience it in so many different ways? 

Alan Burdick discovers the science that confirms time really does go faster as we get older. 

His new book is called Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation. 

3:35 RNZ Eyewitness

How young is too young to compete in international sport? Rebecca Perrott had an outstanding swimming career which began when she was just 12 years old. Representing Fiji at the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, Rebecca was the youngest athlete there and she tells Eyewitness producer Justin Gregory earning her place had a lot to do with sibling rivalry.
