Maths students across the country were left stumped by an 'impossible' GCSE exam question. Many teenagers taking the Edexcel GCSE Maths paper said they were left confused by one particular task.
One parent told Manchester Evening News that even some teachers at their child's school struggled to come up with the solution to the 'impossible' question. A University of Manchester maths student even admitted he found it 'tough'.
Candidates were asked to work out the area of the shaded part of some circles, if all the circles have a radius of four. "A tough one, even I had to spend some time looking where to start," Manchester university student Harry Surplus tweeted.
