<p>I honestly don’t know why everyone claims it is non-zero for the p prime question. Here’s how I answered the question:
For what values does p* = (100p)<em>,
where a</em> = sum of prime factors of a
For any prime number, the only divisor is itself and one.
This implies that the sum of prime factors of a prime p is simply p.
100p = 2^2<em>5^2</em>p
Therefore, (100p)* is the sum of all prime factors of 100p, which are: 2, 5, p.
Thus, RHS(Right-hand-side) equals 2 + 5 + p.
LHS(Left-hand-side) equals p, as established above
p = 2 + 5 + p
0 = 7,
which is obviously always false, thus for no prime value, p does this equation have a solution.</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the #14 on secton 10 writing?</p>
<p>It was something like “Chris gardner… each of them were hoping to become stockbrokers” or something like that </p>
<p>I put Each of them was hoping to become a stockbrocker but i think i’m wrong…</p>
<p>I picked choice (E)</p>
<p>^Magnetic, that is definitely correct.
Each is a singular noun, thus it is “was” not “were”.</p>
<p>Was the lowest perimeter of the square question with side 4, 3, 2 and 1 - 24?</p>
<p>Insect I got that too.

<p>didn’t it say the corners couldnt be touching? in that case the answer should be 28…</p>
<p>and also was the prime number question the experimental?</p>
<p>Awesome but what about the other writing question that was about the indian prime minister?</p>
<p>I picked the choice that began with “a diplomat” Choice (D) I think</p>
<p>did anyone get 862 for the question that asks for a 3 digit number whose digits have a product of 96?</p>
<p>also, I’m pretty sure the question with the 4x4, 3x3, 2x2 and 1x1 boxes only said there couldn’t be overlap between the boxes; they could be adjacent in any manner. I got 24</p>
<p>@SoundsOfSilence that’s correct</p>
<p>I got 24 for the boxes and 862 for the 3 digit number too. </p>
<p>magnetic, do you mean the one with Nehru’s sister? It was like “Jawaharlal Nehru’s sister, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit was an improtant diplomat”. I picked the one with her name first because she was the sister referred to, not the noun.</p>
<p>@MagneticSeesaw I don’t understand why I had so much trouble with that problem. My answer was 961 (96 x 1). :(</p>
<p>it says the numbers have to multiply out to be 96 so 9 x 6 x 1 is only 54 while 8 x 6 x 2 is 96. also did you guys get rad 3 /2 for the surface area question?</p>
<p>wait d you mean the pyramid question? I just said 2 for that question, because the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh, and the base was 1. thus, to have the areas of the 4 triangles equal 4, the height of each had to be 2.</p>
<p>Aww that sucks… oh well does anyone know when we are going to get scores back for these?</p>
<p>On the college board it says “Makeup test administered Nov. 17–18: Scores will be available online to the majority of test-takers on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Score report fulfillment to colleges and universities will begin on Wednesday, Dec. 5.”</p>
<p>did you guys put astute mentor for the second to last question about the carpets?</p>
<p>can we make a compilation of all confirmed math answers?</p>

<p>The three digit number with the product of the digits equal to 96. 8 x 6 x 2 is 96, so 862</p>
<p>pyramid - 2
3 digits- 862
perimeter- 24
spiral - 10pi</p>
