Who will repeat in 2008?

Hello all! As per losing me, we are getting a new guy next year who will be amazing at math. As for science, our varsity player who couldn't make state sure as hell better be there next year, so they'll get those. As for getting out more, I tried so hard this year!!! I moved our team from one team (...

2007 State Questions

Hey All! Just so its clear, I just got back to my computer after a long hiatus. I am SLUH's captain and math guy, and there has been talk about the question at state against Ladue. I was absolutely wrong in my answer, and I told Chang that if he protested I would agree with him. It was a derivative ...

Top 5 things from the weekend

Grant was ridiculously good. He says he's never done math competitions, but he would crush them. Make him to AMC or MOML next year if you can Charlie.

When do you start practicing?

I think one reason our team is so unknown/bad is that we start at the beginning of January, and at our max practice three times a week. This year I demanded that we only practice during the 45 minute free period because I had tutoring service every day after school. Maybe of we cared/practiced more...

2007 State Questions

The determinant of a 3x3 is hard if there is not one row/column with two zeroes, so that seemed too hard. Actually there were at least three matrix questions (two elements and one determinant). Seemed like 3 pop culture per game. Also seemed really math and science heavy, maybe I'm just remembering ...

2007 State Questions

My best buzz (I'm so proud, especially because it was against Charles)
"A woman holding a tricolor" BUZZ "Liberty Leading the People"
Teammates yell "idiot!" until they hear that it's correct.

2007 State Questions

The rafting bonus we got most of, because it was really just a rivers bonus. We knew three out of four, I believe. Badly titled, but not that hard. I didn't like the question about a "city in South Africa" named after a leader. Our history guy guessed correctly Mandela, but all the way I w...

2007 State Questions

What is wrong with a question on Iron Chef unless it asked for specific people? .. ok then that would be overkill.  And Canadian sitcoms is also a bit out there.... can anyone name a Canadian sitcom cuz I honestly can´t think of one at the moment ? The Iron Chef question was like "name two out...

Vegetarianism

I've been a vegetarian since freshman year (4 years ago) and love it. I also don't eat cheese or drink milk, but I do eat eggs and ice cream. I used to love meat, especially salami, but after the first week you get really used to it. Note: everyone should go veg at MSA. It's almost obligatory. I wen...

2007 State Questions

There were 3 math errors! The matrix element, the power of x, and the volume of the cone.

A little weird pop culture, such as iron chef, "new age" music, country stars...

I actually thought the science questions were great! The bonus on benzene!

Dont' know where to post this... I'm the captain of SLUH's team and we can't get our school to let us go to Columbia overnight. The response was that if one 'could' make it to a state tournament without using tournament money then one should. That means that living as far as I do I have to be up aro...
