Individual Test: ... (Scoring: +1 correct, -1 blank, -3 incorrect) aren't we just a little strict? who came up w/ the scoring?? does this mean the questions are easy?
i don't think that the questions are easy (they are writty by 3 usamo qualifiers)...i think the scores are "supposed" to be negative ... but good luck to all those who will attend... it must be a fun contest, given that they are having a "surprise" part. :D
no, we're not strict, the scoring is purely for amusement purposes. the questions are not that easy, and the individual/team tests were written solely by me.
3 USAMO.. and they're all sposed to be from Bellevue right? would that make Mr. paladin8 a woverine? sounds sweet, with the "surprises" and all, but i guess i can't compete, since my school won't be competing, but i'll be there to see exactly how hard the questions really are :P
Me = BHS (see info in the column on the left). And umm, this is not cool how I don't know who anyone is, so if you want to leave your name or something that'd be cool.
ooh, so you're jeffery! wow, wut an honor to meet u! i rly don't think i should leave my name, it probably wouldn't help anywayz, but you'll see me during Bellevue Bath =]
OK... what school are you coming from? And tell whoever is in charge to register soon, so we can get some sort of estimate as to how many people are coming.
freshmenz... do I know you? I have a guess, but it's probably wrong.
Expected winning individual score is probably around 0 (we'll see what Adam can do - it may be surprisingly different). I can't say what the average might be.
Ahh ... make sure to become curious at our special event. AND GET YOUR SCHOOLS TO COME! It's not even that expensive, and we're sure you'll have a great time.

ReplyDeletewhat is the estimated (average) predicted individual score?
ReplyDeletefreshmenz... do I know you? I have a guess, but it's probably wrong.
