<p>so, what was the consensus on 2000 vs. 1998?</p>
<p>i skipped that math question ^..i thought math was hard this time..english and writing was fair.</p>
<p>I think he means the max when the circles do not have the same radius.</p>
<p>And yes, I thought the math was a decent amount harder than last year's math.</p>
<p>@cosine45: nice name! and thanks for answering those!</p>
<p>The question said that the radius of the second circle was double that of the first.</p>

<p>it's definitely 1998. think about it, you start with 2, and you need to find the difference between this and the largest 1000th consec. even number. so multiply 2x1000 - 2.</p>
<p>There seems to be some controversy over whether 0 is even. </p>
<p>Did a bit of Googling and came up with this [<a href="http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57104.html%5D%5B/url">http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57104.html][/url</a>]. The guy is pretty involved with mathematics, so I'm inclined to trust him [he says it's 0].</p>
<p>Wikipedia says the same thing, if it matters [it probably doesn't].</p>
<p>zero is NOT even people</p>
<p>the answer for the circle question is definitely 2.</p>
<p>@cosine: For the reflection one, that's what I got.</p>
<p>Yep, it's absolutely 1998.</p>
<p>Good. :)
anyother questions any1 remember?</p>
<p>the only reading i was unsure of: use of parenthetical statement about sunflowers in hanna story. thoughts?</p>
<p>^YAY, I got that right.</p>

Zero is an even number. An integer n is called <em>even</em> if there exists
an integer m such that n = 2m, and <em>odd</em> if n+1 is even. From this,
it is clear that 0 = (2)(0) is even. The reason for this definition
is so that we have the property that every integer is either even or
odd.</p>
<p>I'm surprised that some teachers believe 0 to be neither even nor
odd....

<p>There's definitely some difference of opinion.</p>
<p>Yeah what about the maximum intersection of two circles: i put three but i think 2 is correct</p>
<p>It's two. 10char</p>
<p>I put "reasons for loving the lady's artwork".</p>
<p>They both mentioned something about vivid colors and style.</p>
<p>k good.
remember neother hard qs?</p>
