1. 760 feet 2. 780 feet 3. 170 meters (550 feet) Basically I just used a piece of paper to mark the distance between each location and used it on the scale in the lower right corner.

Good job. From what I remember, those are the answers. I may have lost the paper somewhere though.

Also, when is your regional tournament? The Florida one just passed.

According to DerechosRYummy's signature, he/she goes to Longfellow MS in Virginia, whose regional tournament (Charlottesville) was last Saturday, Feb. 15.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Yes, that’s correct. Our team got first, but our coaches have to decide on a states (and hopefully nationals) team this weekend.

Did you know there is no more Road Scholar next year? The event is getting replaced with Crave the Wave, another event that is equally, if not more, mathematical.

No. The replacements are as follows:
Heredity - Bio-Process Lab
Boomilever - Elevated Bridge
Elastic Launched Glider - Electric Wright Stuff
Density Lab - Sound of Music
Road Scholar - Crave the Wave
Water Quality - Awesome Aquifer
Fossils - Rocks and Minerals
Game on - Codebusters
Circuit Lab - Green Generation.

The Green Generation - Circuit Lab combo does not make any sense, though because Circuit Lab and Green Generation are nearly nothing alike. Also, Road Scholar has been an event for so many years, it doesn't really make sense to replace it, even though Crave the Wave is maybe just as mathematical.
