-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Fermi Questions C
Could someone migrate the question marathon to the new forum? Or maybe just make a new topic? It's locked up in 2012

Re: Fermi Questions C
Has there been any change to the rules or is it just exactly the same?

I don't really see how the rules could change too much. Last year's rules were quite broad.49ers wrote:Has there been any change to the rules or is it just exactly the same?

This is true. My question was a poor choice.cngu23 wrote:I don't really see how the rules could change too much. Last year's rules were quite broad.49ers wrote:Has there been any change to the rules or is it just exactly the same?
It hasn't been migrated yet? Could someone please do so? Because practicing problems is the only thing to do to get any better (and not take 12th at Regionals again, being the worst event place)...iwonder wrote:Could someone migrate the question marathon to the new forum?

Re: Fermi Questions C
The rules manual isn't really clear. Are we allowed to have scratch paper, or is it all mental Math?

Re: Fermi Questions C
Um, they can't really stop you from that. But they can limit your work space. At my regionals last year they gave us an answer sheet which we couldn't write on (at least, I didn't think we could), so our only scratch paper was the question sheet which was filled front to back. It helps to do mental math quickly, but I would think they have no possible way to stop you from writing out work.Mathdino wrote:The rules manual isn't really clear.

Re: Fermi Questions C
Hi folks, I'm a science olympiad alum and I *loved* fermi questions. I miss it a lot
In my experience there aren't any good online fermi questions tutorials, and especially missing is a large repository of practice problems.
Would anyone be interested in something like what I describe at http://www.fermiquestions.com? I'd appreciate a comment there or here if it seems like what I describe would be useful to you (or if you have any thoughts about this in general). Thanks!

Sounds useful, though do you really have a few thousand practice problems?ryandm wrote:Hi folks, I'm a science olympiad alum and I *loved* fermi questions. I miss it a lot

after graduating I studied comp sci & now I write code for a living. I'm sure that some combination of code & tedious compilation of fermi questions / data from around the web would get the overall count up there
