He had already been to University? Does Ecole Polytechnique only allow people over a certain age to enter, and by the time he reached that age, he had already got his degree from somewhere else and was doing even cooler stuff?

No... In fact, when he refused to go to polytechnique, he did not to do something cooler.. Hint: he did again what he did the previous year.

He took the test again?
Yes... But why? He succeeded the first time, and was admitted to Polytechnique, so why did he take the test a second time?
He wanted to get full marks.
Right on!
The first time he declared "on intègre l'X premier ou on ne l'intègre pas". [You enter X first, or you don't enter it]. X is the nickname of Ecole Polytechnique.
So he succeeded the first time, but he wasn't the first at the entry exam, and decided to try again the year after, then he was first, and he went to the school.

Where did Australia's first satellite launch from?
Well, the Moon was launched so long ago that nobody was there to record where it was launched first.
Oh... You mean the first Australian artificial satellite, WRESAT?

Not Cape Canaveral. I'll accept the country it was launched from (and its not the USA).

If it's not Cape Canaveral, then it's either Baïkonor or Kourou (French Guyana).

It wasn't too hard, at least if you live so near it.

Hmm, I'm not sure, but there's a similar project in the UK (I think, from what you've said), led by Jem Finer.
I imagine the composer is a computer or some sort of algorithm.

No. The composer is most famous for a tune called 4'33".
