This essay dissects the notorious 2022 Edexcel GCSE Higher Tier Math Paper 1 question. Dubbed the “hardest GCSE maths question of all time,” it stumped countless students, sparking tears and debates. I explore three methods to conquer it—geometric (the intended GCSE approach), polar integration, and trig substitution—proving that no matter the path, the answer remains elegantly consistent. Whether you’re a student honing skills, a parent guiding learning, or simply a curious mind like me, this piece showcases the beauty of mathematical consistency and perseverance.
