<p>ooooooo ok i read the triangle one wrong, thats -2 for me lol</p>

<p>elliot, alternatively, a correct method is to reason that a value for the quadrilateral was (4, 8), which meant 8 = a16, resulting in a = (1/2).</p>

<p>What was the wording of the 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, etc. question? Did it ask for the sum of the terms when the nth term was 12? Did it ask what is the numeric value of the nth term when n is twelve? Did it ask what is the term number when n is 12?</p>

<p>Most people got 67, for what it's worth. I got it wrong, though.</p>

<p>I think it may actually be 100. I dont think I counted the very last strip of 3 inches</p>

<p>ffor the octagon and triangles, I drew it and got 6.... Anyone else get that???</p>

<p>Can someone explain that octagon triangles one, please? I thought it was 8.</p>

<p>i got six too....i think...</p>

<p>well you cant draw a line with the point next to it since there already is a line, so you can only draw 5 lines which makes 6 triangles.</p>

<p>didnt they ask for the diagnals</p>

<p>yeah basically th same pahreen</p>

<p>for the passage about the clovis people, what was the firsdt question, which did they both agree on? there might be some other hard ones...</p>

<p>yeah you just draw it. </p>

<p>You could also use the sum of the angles in an octagon and divide it by 8</p>

<p>1080/8 = 6</p>

<p>yay!! I got a raw score of 50!! (highest I 've ever gotten, including practice tests!!) woohoo... but that means I'll miss out 750. ... :(</p>

<p>Yea i put 8, i thought they were asking for diagonals (and P is just a point used to show that the shape was a regular octagon).</p>

<p>"yay!! I got a raw score of 50!! (highest I 've ever gotten, including practice tests!!) woohoo... but that means I'll miss out 750. ... "</p>

<p>How do you know?</p>

<p>if it was asking for diagnals then the answer is 5</p>

<p>no I thought they asked you to draw diagonals and count triangles</p>

<p>BTW did anyone get 113 for one of their answers?</p>

<p>Question went something like this (i think on section 3):
Median of 75 positive integers is 2. What could be the least sum of all the integers?</p>

<p>no they cant ask for both, i am pretty sure it was how many diagonals</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure ... because i missed out 3 grid ins (ie. they were wrong) and the shaded circle Q was wrong ... and exp. was writing ... so 50 - 0.25 = 49.75~~ 50...
I'm pretty confident the other answers are right.!!</p>

<p>atomic, i think that was your experimental. </p>

<p>and it was how many triangles, i remember.</p>

<p>yes I got 113,</p>

<p>and it was draw the diagonal, then count the triangles. you only draw the diagonals so that you can count triangles, you don't have to put down how many diagonals there are</p>
