Write It Do It B/C

Doesn't the doer get the materials required along with a bunch of unnecessary materials, though? I wanted to make sure there wasn't something resembling that piece that my partner might get confused with the real piece. And thank you!

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. That's up to the supervisor.

some weird variation on a popsicle stick. It was the same width, but about 5-6 cm long, and on one end it was rounded like a dog bone, and on the other end it was like a pitchfork. It was inserted straight up into the cup. What did everyone else call this piece? I used about 3 or 4 lines just DESCRIBING the piece, and almost forgot to say where to put it.

I built the thing!! It was awful but my partner called it the weird looking thing with a fork thing at the end. haha

Nice. I'm so paranoid about another piece being there that resembles that piece that I waste a lot of time with describing pieces. Half the time during WIDI I spend writing. The other half is usually spent wondering how and where in the world the proctor got pieces like that...

Thank you, and by the way, results are up now here: http://projects.juniata.edu/scioly/paco ... scores.pdf if you want to check. What school are you from?

Charles Huston Middle School we must have been on second or third tier bc I know we didn't do THAT bad... we got 24th lol. I am extremely proud of our team. Before last year, our team had only once gotten a medal at states. The earliest overall place I know of was 30th in 2009. Last year, we got 21 (or 22, not sure) and this year we got 15. We are hoping to break into the top 10 next year.

Nice, looks like your team is making some serious progress. How do you get tiered for WIDI? If you use codes/pictures?

I'm not sure I was thinking most likely because I know we used some and my partner forgot to write them at the top of the page.

Oh yeah, I'm never sure about those. I write, and I got really paranoid so I started explaining abbreviations like cm for centimeter, because the last thing i wanted was to get disqualified. Do we have to define that, do you know?
