Re: Road Scholar B

that was on there last year though :shrug: anyone have any ways to find coodinates faster than what it says in the coaches manual? What's in the coaches manual? The best (most accurate) way to do it is by using fractions. Measure the distance (x) from one 2.5' (150") tick mark to another, then...

Re: Scratch

Hahah, ohhh Scratch. Our computer science prof thought it would be a "fun introduction" to the process of coding to use this program. Turns out to be kind of fun, but you learn very little about actual programming. Still I had a good time and if you enjoy minigolf, you're welcome to give m...

Re: National Qualification

It's not fair to have a state with 50 teams send the same amount as a state with 300 teams. For the sake of devil's advocate here, why is it not fair? If one were to hold a competition with all 350 teams from these two states combined, resulting in the top 5 teams all from the small state, would it...

Re: Wiki Categories

All you need to do is add the following 2 lines to the end of the page and it should work.

Code: Select all

[[Category:Team Pages]]
[[Category:Team Pages B]]

Now that it's come out, I'm still really impressed, but it definitely has some work to do. It has unbelievable knowledge in some really obscure areas and y...

2009 National Science Olympiad Competition Results

For the sake of clarity, I'm going to make this a separate topic. Once everyone gets home, feel free to discuss the results here. And now everything is in so I don't have to keep updating. Someone let me know or post when scores and full results are available. Division B 10th: Lakeshore - Michigan -...

Re: Write it Do it

Writing is the most important part of the event. If you have a good writer, you really don't even need a specific doer at all... if the writing is done perfectly, you can give the directions to anyone on the team along with basic information about the system of directions used and if they're even re...
