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.

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.

:/ 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.

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!

Does anyone have an idea how to study for next year's disease detectives?
What topics do you predict should be on it?

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.

Well, It's not 100% official, but the tentative event list has it listed as the topic for next year.

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.
