<p>well, you know, not all the tests can measure a human being.
What would be happened to Einstein if he was born in 21st century?
He would be working at the factory because he would be diagnosed as a kid with a learning disability. Or a kid who is good at math and science but everything else.</p>
<p>what was the exact question for hexagon? i still dont get it...</p>
<p>equi. tri?</p>
<p>not the answer.. what did the question exactly ask so i can actually understand..</p>
<p>anyone get 31 as an answer for the median age</p>
<p>nope, i got 50 something for that one.</p>
<p>if we connect the dots that are pointed by finding a shortest distance from a point A, what would a shape be? The distance given was 3.</p>
<p>It would be an eq triangle. Remember, its the points that lie on the shape, not the paths.</p>
<p>But does that give us the corners?</p>
<p>No, you don't need the corners, just a shape the points would fall on. And think about it, the hexagons were regular and in a proper array. Chances are the triangle was equilateral.</p>
<p>so the question was asking what shape would that particular path would give?
if it is, then i guessed i did not understand the problem and just put the answer as hexagon because all the paths three edges away makes a hexagon around point A...</p>
<p>It asked what shape the points that were 3 units away would fall on. It could have been hexagon because that choice said regular hexagon and that hexagon was not regular.</p>
<p>Super job Echelon32!</p>
<p>Here are the final SC's:</p>
<ol>
<li>It was IMPAIR .. MINIMIZE</li>
<li>It was COMMENDABLE .. EXEMPLARY</li>
<li>RESISTANT .. POPULAR (had to do with glass)</li>
<li>FORBIDDING .. ELATION (answer called for a pair of antonyms. SC had to do with a person who moved from one place to another)</li>
<li>PROFOUND person did a PROFOUND analysis</li>
<li>COMPARATIVE .. ABSOLUTE (had to do with the concept of best seller)</li>
</ol>
<p>On another post I wrote CURTAIN. LOL!!! It is CURTAIL!!!</p>
<p>If these answers are combined with Echelon32's list we should have all 19 SC's!!!!</p>
<p>Echelon, here are some writing to add:</p>
<p>the editor "would have followed her instincts and run the story if not for the legal trouble" The problem gave "ran", but it needs to be "run" since it goes with "have" Thus the answer is "ran".</p>
<p>Life as a Dog: I think no error - "had he adopted an adult POV" is correct as is</p>
<p>Enough analysis and debating for me... I'm going to sleep early. Good night people.</p>

<p>Didn't get to fill in one of the lines, and I can't draw hexagons on the computer to save my life, so I borrowed a representation of aromatic rings instead.</p>
<p>Would the tessalating properties of the hexagon have anything to do with an emergent equilateral triangle?</p>
<p>Note that an internal angle of a hexagon is 120 degrees, and pairs of isoceles triangles get formed at the corners; thus each triangle has an angle of 30 degrees contributing to the corner. 30+30 = 60.</p>
<p>^^aromatic rings...nice</p>
<p>"^^aromatic rings...nice"</p>
<p>Lol, that's what I actually thought of on the test.</p>
