Re: Thermodynamics B/C
In my block, the best score was 53.3C internal and 28C external (hrf = 1.903), however, this team did not go for the ice bonusvjindal wrote:Anyone know the top device scores at MIT? I heard some top teams went for ice bonus

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Speaking of MIT, what did everyone think about the test? While I thought the multiple choice section was mediocre at best, the free response questions were pretty amazing (despite how difficult that last part was).vjindal wrote:Anyone know the top device scores at MIT?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
The last two free response questions were extremely difficult, but super fun to just try even if I had no hope of answering it. I heard the highest score was 90/168 on the test portionJustin72835 wrote:Speaking of MIT, what did everyone think about the test?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Btw, do you remember where you heard about 90/168 being highest score on the test? I ask because our team actually got pretty close to this score.chopchpp wrote:The last two free response questions were extremely difficult, but super fun to just try even if I had no hope of answering it.

This is largely speculative but we were talking to the 2nd place team and they said the ES told them soJustin72835 wrote:Btw, do you remember where you heard about 90/168 being highest score on the test?
