Re: Compute This
eh 15th place in compute wasn't so bad taking into account we messed up 40 minutes and did what we could in 10 minutes :3

Re: Compute This
Honestly i think 19th sucks especially since though it doesn't seem that good, but 85 points out of 100 doesn't seem that bad. I'm asking because i'm thinking of sending in an appeal. If i gotten 15th or better, our team would come in 3rd place. I'm pretty sure that 18 teams of 40 would get that much better because they used 2007 which quite a number of people weren't used to. I actually did the graph correctly and got 3 and a half questions correct with the correct URL.

Re: Compute This
85 out of 100 isn't bad at all, but it depends how hard your event was. If all the information was only a few searches away, then I would bet that many people got near perfect scores. Plus, if you got 85/100 and other teams did too, it depends on the graphical appeal, which is the tiebreaker.sr243 wrote:Honestly i think 19th sucks especially since though it doesn't seem that good, but 85 points out of 100 doesn't seem that bad.

If you weren't expecting Excel 2007, who knows what you could have been expecting :psr243 wrote:Honestly i think 19th sucks especially since though it doesn't seem that good, but 85 points out of 100 doesn't seem that bad.

At state, they wanna trick you and make you mess us by doing something like that. Plus it's a university so they need to modernize
At nationals you could probably expect some kinda operating system no one heard of with Excel 2010

Re: Compute This
Exactly the same here. Test over earthquakes and I loaded my website with earthquake stuff :pfmtiger124 wrote:we got thirdrobotman09 wrote:i got second and my site didnt help me at all

Re: Compute This
yea I think we also benefited from the fact that almost all of our practice tests were on EarthquakessihT etupmoC wrote:Exactly the same here.

Our coach was convinced we would get a test on them at states or regionals I guess she was right
