<p>Hmm, I did it as (2x8!)/(4!4!)</p>
<p>LOL, I got a 1. Whatever- I'm a fluffy, I can't do real math.</p>
<p>Answers are up on <a href="http://www.unl.edu/amc%5B/url%5D">www.unl.edu/amc</a>, by the way.</p>
<p>I got a 14. I can't complain about that. Although I DO wish that I had bothered to do #15- I took one look at it, decided it looked hard, and spent the last hour or so carefully checking my other answers rather than going for the gusto. Bad move. But clearly it doesn't matter, because USAMO is USAMO.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see this year's official statistics to see if the number of impressively high scorers (to me, anyone with a double-digit score, base ten) has increased.</p>
<p>Four people took it at my school. One 11, one 4, two 1's. Heh.</p>
<p>Got a 6; made two mistakes that I should've caught (if I spent more time staring at those problems)...Oh well, not like it would've mattered as I'm wayy too far away from the USAMO cutoff (at a 167.5)...horrible AMC score...</p>
<p>Everybody complains about stupid mistakes, but why? Everybody does them, everybody says, "if only i had seen that" or "if only i had added correctly". Why didn't you see it, or why didn't you add correctly? Don't complain, learn from your mistakes and don't do it again.</p>
<p>Yeah, on the AIME, most people make those kind of mistakes if you are scoring above 3 or 4, so you should take whatever you THINK you should have gotten and subtract 2 or so for you real projected, meaning you always make 2 "dumb" mistakes. At least thats how it is for me and all my friends.</p>
<p>That aside...I MISSED #2 AND #3 AND THEY ARE BOTH IN MY STRONGEST FIELD AND WERE 2 OF THE EASIEST QUESTIONS ON THE TEST!!!! ARGHHGGHHHHHHHHHHH! I for some reason didn't count 2004 as a divisor of 2004 on number 2 and thought that it said all integers less than 50 rather than all DIVISORS less than 50 :(</p>
<p>OMG feuler you are incredible.</p>
<p>I would have been fine with "two dumb mistakes". But I made five. (Adding instead of subtracting(#7), multiplying by 4 instead of 9(#5), flat out messing up multiplication(#4), not recognizing that the median could be above the line in addition to below (#10), not noticing that 1<em>2</em>4, 1<em>3</em>9, 1<em>5</em>25, 1<em>7</em>49, are "exactly three proper divisors"(#3), and drawing out the actual square for #14 gets you sides of length 14 (and answer 960), when the real sides are sqrt(44)/10~13.914 , impossible to see, and anything more than .001 away gave a wrong answer.(answer 936) </p>
<p>And learning, and doing better next time isn't an option, as this was my first, last, and only chance to do AMC, AIME.</p>
<p>I think Feuler is a direct descendent of the legendary Leonhard Euler. Everytime anyone asks him if he is he doges or ignores....hmmm.....I even remember from last year or so this same thing....</p>
<p>Haha, no, this is just a pseudonym (unfortunately). I guess I forgot to address that when I responded to your pm...</p>
<p>Basically, I needed to think of a fake name, so I tried to think of historical figures I could name myself after, and I chose Ben Franklin and Leonard Euler. Thus "Franklin Euler" --> "FEuler."</p>
