<p>Ok, the argument over the die problem is getting pretty ridiculous. “I swear I got a 800, I’m a genius, I know everything, the answer was definitely 1/108!!”
First, that’s pretty damn pretentious to be so sure of yourself. Second… well, I got a different answer. (I could easily be wrong, I’ll admit that, but I’m pretty confident it was 1/54). </p>
<p>Here was how I reasoned that it wasn’t 1/108:
Everyone is saying its 1/216 + 1/216 = 2/216 = 1/108… but the problem is, there are 3 ways that 17 can appear. The argument that order doesn’t matter is wrong, because it does in fact matter. 566 != 656 != 665. All three of those appear the same, but those are 3 of the 216 possibilities. 216 was arrived at by multiplying out 6<em>6</em>6, because each die has 6 sides. It’s a permutation, not a combination. Because you used a permutation to calculate the TOTAL number of possibilities, then 665, 656, and 566 are DISTINCT values. Meaning that they must be counted as 1/216 for each value.
665 = 1/216
656 = 1/216
556 = 1/216
666 = 1/216
Total = 4/216 = 1/54</p>
<p>Like I said, I could be wrong, and I’d love to hear different explanations, but I’m pretty confident in my answer.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the wording on the July and August question? Rumor has it that the answer was 8,000, and that number isn’t ringing a bell for me like all the others. I just was hoping a partial wording of the question would help clear it up for me a bit…</p>
<p>^The question was about the difference in the number of tickets sold in July and August.
They gave you an equation: N(t) = -2t + 30 (if I remember correctly)
where N(t) is the number of 1000s of tickets sold.</p>
<p>for overrated. to get 1080 u just multiplied the number of hours per week for each thing by 36 and then added em all up right. i forget what i put for that one.</p>
<p>for the obtuse triangle one…would 10 be right still? D:
I was being idiotic and I couldn’t remember how to solve for the smallest possible measurement. I don’t know WHY I didn’t put down 13 then, because I knew the maximum was 14. But I guess I liked the sound of 10, lmao.</p>
<p>does anyone know what the problem was with the answer of “5/3”?? i remember getting 5/9
Also…here is what I remember getting for the fill in sections:
1)15
2)5/9 (the one i have a question on)
3)3
4)6000
5)1.2
6)24
7)8
8)12
9)2
10)290</p>
<p>for those that are still questioning the R B G Y question…
there were five choices.
117, 118, 119, 120, 121
Immediately knock out 117 and 121, because if it was one or the other, there would be two correct answers, as each is four apart.
Because green is the third out of four in the series, it must be an odd number. Therefore the only possible choice is 119. (odd + even = odd)</p>
<p>Wow i was going for 800 on math. I’ve gotten mainly 800’s on real QAS’s. I was done with math like 8 to 9 minutes every time. I regret it. I could’ve checked my *<strong><em>ing answers. I’ll probably take in november then for an 800. *</em></strong>!</p>
