Our tiebreaker was rly stupid. It was supposed to be appearance, but they had all the files in compatability mode, so if you tried to make it a different color or something like that it wouldn't save. But we still got 1st. :D

Thanks. I don't know why they don't let us use the computer calculator. But wait. You could get a calculator from the internet. Like on online calculator and use that instead. :lol:

At state we each had our own account to save on. Like one team was Olympiad.1, one was Olympiad.2, etc. You saved it there and printed it out.

But yeah. Getting first in this made me feel accomplished, because the national champions are in my state. I beat the national champions. I believe they got 6th lol

They were at an invitational my team went to, and I beat them too! I got 3rd and their two teams got... not so third. I think it may have been the only event in which we beat both of their teams.
