Error in O lvl Pure Bio paper

It has been confirmed by the Ministry of Education, Singapore that there was an error in the pure Biology O levels exam paper.
The question had a graph which showed the relation between light intensity and the diameter of the pupil of a human eye. Apparently, the graph was drawn incorrectly with the pupil of the eye becoming larger as the light intensity increases, instead of the pupil becoming smaller as the light intensity increases.
I wonder what Cambridge is going to do about this, but I don't think it'll make much impact as questions related to the graph constitutes only 5 marks out of the entire paper. I'd probably look to Cambridge striking out the question and converting the marks back to 100%. I hope their mathematical calculation won't go wrong too. :P
