Some of the 1st place scores are interesting. I didn't expect MTV to be nearly so high, even with Nationals rules.

I don't know, but we got 4 minutes last year for the same number of stations and same event supervisor.

Mission is also extremely high. The nationals rules probably had a longer target time allowing for a little bit of a boost.

I meant in the other way, I expected MTV to be closer to 25 even with Nationals rules. Troy and Mira Loma seem to be in the 10-15 range on state rules.

It was 2 minutes per station based on the best they could remember (although there was some argument if it was 2 or 2 1/2 per station).

Agreed, but I would also partially contribute lower scores to more difficult conditions. Tracks were not parallel with floor lines and the junctions between the floor tiles likely messed up some teams.

Anyone think some of the answers for thermo multiple choice are wrong? Specifically 3, 7, and 9.

Didn't do 3, but the answer to 7 is technically correct (though JT is also adiabatic...?).

9 is definitely correct. 0th law only applies for perfect crystals. On the other hand, the method used to define in entropy uses H+ as a standard--rhus it's always 0.
Div D! I really like chem, oceanography, and nail polish--not in that order.

Feel free to PM me about SciOly or college or whatever! I really enjoy making online friends.
