Well, I meant the laptop itself, with all it's internal capabilities. But I think you're implying that he just took the laptop there to play with the rules.

(Sigh) He Used The Laptop At The Event Because It Was A Measuring Device. Once The Ruler Was Taped To The Laptop It Was Counted As A Measuring Device. Do You Still Understand :?: If Not, Tell Me What You Don't Understand. Have A Nice Day.

Shouldn't just the proctor say, "Take the ruler off the laptop, get rid of the laptop, or you'll be DQ'd. I don't find this amusing." That's what I'd say.

I agree- and did they simply use the ruler or did they use the laptop to access online databases etc.

In a recent test that I took, it asked for the elevation range of a facility between two contours. Le'ts arbitrarily give these contours elevations of 450 and 460 feet. Would the range be 450-459 or 451-459? If it's the latter, then that must mean that once the land reaches the 450 feet elevation, it cannot plateau right away. If that is so, then how do we show plateaus? The answer key says it's the latter, which bothers me.
