<p>Took it in the morning. PM me to compare: I can provide proof to discuss.</p>

9

<p>Damn that was hard I think I got around 4-5.</p>

10

<p>A bit unrelated, but should you write your AIME score (instead of just that you qualified) on your college applications for schools other than MIT/CalTech?</p>

11

<p>any projections for JMO cutoff? I’m so worried about misbubbling…</p>

<p>also pm me to discuss #8</p>

12

<p>We are not supposed to discuss any aspect of the contest, including its difficulty, projected scores, and USA(J)MO cutoffs, until tomorrow.</p>

13

<p>i got a 9… should’ve gotten a 14. o.o pm me for answer discussion</p>

14

<p>got #1 wrong. nuff said. gf usamo</p>

15

<p>just got raped…</p>

16

<p>pm me the answers we can discuss</p>

17

<p>I got a 9 or an 8 depending on whether I got question 8 right. I also got #1 wrong. I didn’t think it was too bad, but then again I found 2010 more difficult than 2011, so my difficulty judgments aren’t exactly reliable. So index either 198 or 188. Hopefully either cutoff is lower than usual (and by usual I mean not last year) or I qualify by default since I live in a noob state. Pm me to discuss number 8 though.</p>

18

<p>Taking the AIME II. Ugh :(</p>

19

<p>Can someone please PM the answers for 1-15? I answered only the first 8 and #10.</p>

20

<p>My brain cells just got all sucked out . . . I did 9 of them, then skipped 6, 9-10, and 13-15 because the wording was touchy and/or I blanked out on the formulas.</p>

<p>And to top it all, I half-guessed about two-thirds of what I did. Also, did anyone else just do all the problems that they ended up answering in the first hour?</p>

<p>Hopefully, the cutoff is lower than last year’s - wth, 210?! Nowhere close :(</p>
