MIT Invitational

[Complexity]

Are you allowed to tell raw scores, and if yes, does anyone know the tower scores?

I do not know whether the raw scores will be released or not but I placed fourth in the event with ~2320. Hope that helps.

Wow... I have to say, thats quite impressive. MIT is leagues ahead of the invites I have gone to, I have been taking medals with 1500-1700. Thanks for the info.

does anyone happen to know the raw scores for hovercraft?

I messaged the supervisor for the event (he made a spreadsheet of all the test/device scores). He might or might not update soon.

MIT seems to be messing with stuff

(luckily I saved a copy of the scores)

The least they could do is send you the 5th place trophy now

Any idea what they are doing?

No idea.

If anyone needs to look at the scores urgently, there's a copy on our team website news post.

Stephen Tang asked me to pass on the message that the reason for the display issues was that some supervisors accidentally un-verified their entered scores. Everything has now been restored.

Any idea what the top score for hovercraft test portion was? By my calculations from comparing our two teams, I think it's 35 which is what we got on the test. Is there any other score higher than this? That moment when you have perfect mass score but your hovercraft is still too fast and gets destroyed on time. Such is life.

Troy destroyed everyone in terms of the test, according to the supervisor.

Our B team got a mass score of 1860, time of 12.4 ==> 47.4435 on build. Our A team got a full mass score and a time score of 9 ==> 34 on build

Our A team got a 35 on test, our B team got a 26.

B team ended up 7th, A was 8th.

therefore 47.4435 + 50* 26/x is slightly larger than 34 + 50* 35/x (let's say the difference is 2 points, which is probably being somewhat generous)

Thus the max score is between 35 and 39

Could you explain how you got the 35-39 range for the test? Quickly looking on Wolfram Alpha, it seems like the max test score just has to be more than 33ish

Well, I already got 35 on the test... The 39 is because we're guessing that the scores were reasonably close.
