<p>@eps96 the answer was y/x</p>

<p>for the colored paper rings pattern, how is the answer red?</p>

<p>i wrote it out on paper and i got blue as the answer. double checked and everything.</p>

<p>the way i solved it on the test[which was incorrect, btw] was by knowing that 16 was blue, and thinking that all multiples of 16 would also be blue. so i knew 48 would be blue. so then i counted up. 49/green, 50/green, 51/yellow.</p>

<p>but i know that that’s wrong because the pattern doesn’t go in multiples of 16, it goes in multiples of 5. my mistake :P</p>

<p>but when i counted it out on paper… i kept getting blue. i even went back and tried my technique the correct way and got blue. if 16 is blue, then 15 must be red. 45 is a multiple of 15 so it should be red. then i counted up again: 45/red, 46/blue, 47/green, 48/green, 49/yellow, 50/red, 51/blue.</p>

<p>can someone show me how they got red?</p>

<p>@otoribashi - if you write out the colors, you see that you have to delete 4 colors or something like that. then, it goes in multiples of 6 because there were 6 colors. this means that you count 48 to be the last color, and the next pattern after that has 49, 50, 51, so the 51st becomes red. i don’t quite remember exactly, but i remember writing it all out after i figured out the pattern and then i got red. i think your mistake is that you are counting in multiples of 5, not 6. </p>

<p>also, how do you get y/x for the x^2 one? i thought it was xy because x/y = x^2/ random letter, then solving you get random letter = x^2y/x = xy? (set up proportions)?</p>

<p>if i get 5 wrong skip 2 total what would my score be out of 800 for math?</p>

<p>Does anybody remember the critical reading question, section 3 I think, that quoted “Authenticity is an absolute, a goal, a journey” or something along those lines?</p>

<p>I put “an unconditional declaration” but I’m not sure what it was supposed to be. Any help appreciated.</p>

<p>For the w=xy^2, what is not a factor of (w-x), I got y+1. I got this because if you substitute and factor it out, ==> (xy^2-x)===> x (y^2-1)===> x(y x y -1). So y is a factor of it—I think .__. Can anyone verify? Thank you</p>

<p>@anonito I think the answer was extended analogy</p>

<p>Yup unconditional declaration is right</p>

<h2>Did anyone get the math problem that showed a circle spinner graph thing labeled 1-10, asking the probability of it landing on an odd multiple of 3? I put 2/10 because 3 x 1= 3 and 3 x 2 = 6 and 3 x 3= 9, so there are only two multiples.</h2>

<p>-</p>

<h2>My last graph in was 192. It was the question that gave you the radius of the circle and said that arc QT = 1/4 of the circumference. Then it asked what the rest of the circumference was (the other 3/4). I got this because the I multiplied the radius by 2 and then multiplied it by pi, since circumference equals diameter x pi. Then I multiplied the circumference by .75 and got 192. Meh. I was confused on this one. </h2>

<p>-
I usually get 780-800 on math, and I thought this one was easy, but there were a few that made me confused a bit.
OH
OH
there was one grid in that was like a system of equations and asked for 800x. I put 2400 since I got that x=3 and y=2.</p>

<p>So if I got 5 wrong and skipped two what do you think my score would be out of 800 for math?</p>

<p>Authenticity question is an extended analogy, not unconditional declaration.</p>

<p>You must have had a different version than me, because I didn’t get any of those questions…did anyone have a CR about a P1 vs P2 w/ Seever and KISS? Does anyone remember what he/she got for the last question in this passage, something w/ pragmatism maybe??? :D</p>

<p>@cali2015, how is it extended analogy? what analogy is being extended here?</p>

<p>It was pragmatic something for sure. ^_^</p>

<p>@blueblue</p>

<p>I got the same answers you did on the questions you mentioned. I usually hang around a 720 on the math. I omitted at least 4. Ah well</p>

<p>@anonito- <em>phew</em> i got so confused w/ pragmatism and choice B, but i don’t remember what B was… oh well i hope i got that one rite. :smiley: in that same passage, do u remember the irony one w/ seever building the cabin? i got that he used a intellectual place to build a traditional rural thing, but was the answer that, or the one w/ he lived in isolation but liked the common folk? i wasn’t sure on that…</p>

<p>What were some of the answers you guys got for the green chemistry one?</p>

<p>for the 1/4 of the circumference and radius 128/pi i got 128 cuz it was asking for arc QST which was half of the circle</p>

<p>@cello96 QST was actually 3/4 of the circle…</p>

<p>@Jane9648 The historic references were the Incas and Irish cultivating potatoes centuries ago or something like that, before the author goes onto talking about french fries.</p>
