Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Were there any tiebreaker questions because I didn't see any? If not, how would they break a time, since time is not a tiebreaker.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
There probably were tiebreaker questions and they just didn't tell you which ones they were.
The story of the epic fail PSL blade
We cut it with an X Acto, threw it on the floor, it got an amazing score, but it was 1 millimeter too small. Then, it fell, the wing broke off, we reglued it, and it fits the rules and gets our high score. And it got us a bronze medal at Nationals.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
:/ 16 or 17th place... don't remember. I thought we could medal for sure in it
The test was nice; not that hard, but... nice. Easy to split up, seeing as there were two problems heh.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
i love how you're so angry...12th place even with 10 minutes remaining?! that's insane! we got 11th place in can't judge a powder with time to spare, yet i am still in jubilation over this placing. i don't think i ever could have gotten 12th place with 10 less minutes. just think. you're one of the 20-25 best people in disease detectives in the whole country!bubblebrian wrote:I had to go with 10 min remaining!!!

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Does anyone have an idea how to study for next year's disease detectives?
What topics do you predict should be on it?

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Next year's topic is Food-Borne illnesses, so I'd assume reviewing the common ones in depth as much as possible, as well as keep a decent understanding of other diseases, and everything else that this event covers, should be helpful. That's what I'm doing, anyways.mali_16 wrote:Does anyone have an idea how to study for next year's disease detectives?

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Well, It's not 100% official, but the tentative event list has it listed as the topic for next year.mali_16 wrote:Don't mind me asking but how do you know this?

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Its good that they're using food borne illnesses this year rather than population growth. The only test I took all year that actually focused on the topic was the one at nationals. Food borne illnesses should make for better tests.
