Why would you need to send three teams since a tie with the same score and the same number of each place would not be possible unless you were talking about a 23 way tie?

not necessarily, its just that the total score would be the exact same.

Yes but then you would look at 1st place medals to break the tie, then 2nd, and so on. It would be impossible for this process to remain a tie.

I think that if it really were to happen, they might make one of the states that really aren't that competitive (hawaii maybe? i'm completely just guessing) give up a spot.

but that would be completely unfair too. i dont think it'll ever happen anyway, so it doesnt really matter.

Mm they wouldn't do that.

Gah, we did awful. Not a single 1st place, and I didn't even medal in ornithology. It's the first time we've made states, though.

Not getting any 1st places isn't bad, I believe J.T. Lambert has only gotten 2 in its history. My high school team has never even made it, but I'm hoping to change that next year. I actually think we have a chance.

did anyone else think the pa astro test was hard?

haha okay then..
did anyone.. i mean aaanyone find the data for the compute this test? we didn't find the data and made this completely made-up graph and still managed to get 5th so i'm guessing something was wrong :/

I found the data. It was a text file with a monthly sunspot entry for every month since 1876. Either way, I couldn't copy the column with just the area in it, so I had to delete a bunch of stuff, then average them all out. It took forever though, I only answered 3 of the open-ended questions.
