<p>on Thursday there will be a MathJam on <a href="http://www.artofproblemsolving.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.artofproblemsolving.com&lt;/a> to discuss all the problems. Good luck to everyone taking it!</p>

<p>The movie doesn't have much of a plot. AMC = American Mathematics Competitions.

<p>^ lol </p>

<p>Question: is the AMC limited to americans? I thought it was, but just a couple of days ago i heard one of my friends saying she was taking it (i'm in canada). how does that work?... :confused:</p>

<p>The AMC and AIME exams are open to all internationals. A lot of Asian schools participate. USAMO is open to US and Canadian citizens or permanent residents.</p>

<p>Anita, see if you can take the AMC A. If not, you will definitely be able to take the AMC B on the 16th since the late registration has not passed.</p>

11

<p>ok, i'll do that...thanx texas and zogoto :)</p>

12

<p>So what's the difference between the AMC A and B? I know I signed up for the AMC 12, but I'm not sure if I signed up to take it tomorrow or later in the year. I haven't heard anything about it from my school...</p>

13

<p>the A date is tomorrow (Tues Feb 1). The B date is in 2 weeks (Wed Feb 16). You can take the exam on either or both dates.</p>

<p>yes, but I do not post as frequently as here. Same user name.</p>

<p>hmm... assuming that the fact that all of the answers my friend and I have in common are correct, I ended up with either 97 or 103. it all comes down to problem 21... out of curiosity, how many problems did people attempt? I did 15, b/c the standard theory is that if you want to just barely qualify for aime you do between 13-17.</p>

17

<p>I did 10, which should be a 97.5, because I wanted to do just enough not to qualify (I hate math competitions), which was 100 points IIRC. I just wanted to look like I was trying so I got extra credit for the class, but the 10 I did were the easy ones, and didn't require much in the way of thinking.</p>

18

<p>I got a 111.5. Did 14 problems, got all of them right.</p>

19

<p>+14 -1 == 109</p>

<p>I was supposed to take them and I have had the stupid flu! :(</p>
