I am really curious to know if someone attempted the Australia dairy and cattle farm question and why? My first thought: Who on earth would prepare for this?

If you look at the other papers especially the optionals, you will be able to chalk out the visible change in trend of exams. MCQs are not the usual 20 juicy questions which you can bag by cramming last 10 years' past papers. The subjective questions were as analytical as they could be made and we are calling them the shocker. Yes indeed these are shockers we have received in each exam but this might be the beginning of a new epoch in css where cramming won't serve anyone and the sound knowledge base will matter. We should be rejoicing if FPSC has decided to offer a level playing field to all candidates rather than calling these shockers.

I think it was about the Continental Shelf and Slope being Passive unlike the Pacific one which is an Active Shelf. Secondly it is marked by Divergent Plate Boundary which makes it an expanding Ocean unlike the Pacific which is squeezing in. Ofcourse, the rest of the things were to be written too viz Shelf, Slope, Rise, Abyssal Plains, Abyssal Hills, Mid-Atlantic Ridge etc.. (this is what i wrote)
