Also the really nice thing about the way Texas does things is that if certain tournament dates don't work out, it's not a big deal, you can just pick another regional. For example, there have been countless times where a certain regional was too close to the second out of state invitational or there...

Hey everyone, I was the event supervisor for Fossils this past weekend at MIT. As other people have stated, the exams will be publicly released but I just wanted to post a little debrief of the event on Saturday. Taking into account what many people have informed me personally or otherwise regarding...

Asking the important questions of our time

Chill, there were not 542 questions, that's just how many points there were. Most questions were worth 2-3 points. And again, I literally NEVER said that the competitors aren't working hard enough.

There were only 17 stations, with 14 having specimens to identify and most answers were a few word answers (originally I had 15 but had to add 2 more because there are 17 teams per block). And you had 2.5 minutes to complete each station. 10% is approximately 1 question per station (some had more)....
