<p>What was the question for "12"?</p>

<p>yeah, and the answer was 108 I believe</p>

<p>Hey, that's the question for the one I remember getting 108 on!</p>

<p>Your answer should be incorrect since that's the amount of money she made after noon, but not how many cars she parked. (That was the question, RIGHT?)</p>

<p>i_lose: I had all of those answers except "1". I think that was the one with the graph that looked like a Star of David, and I believe I had 9 for that one.</p>

<p>8 was the f(2)=10 problem<br>
650 was the marble problem
12.... no idea what that was, but it was my answer.</p>

<p>I think one was "Sally makes .50 for each car she parks. She made $90 in a day and parked 72 cars before noon. how much money did she make after noon?"</p>

<p>Unless I misread the question, ugh.</p>

<p>At least I know I haven't screwed up on any of the grid-ins...they seem a lot easier than m/c's since you're not distracted by other answers...and because the question seem easier...</p>

<p>I remember the "12" being the chains one...adding a 7 inch chain to an average of 13 chain whatever one.</p>

<p>Was one of the grid ins about how much money some girl made after noon?</p>

<p>I think it was asking for the number of cars, in which case you would multiply the money earned (your answer) by 2 and come up with 108, which is what i_lose got also.</p>

<p>Yes it was 108</p>

<p>sonar: It said she made $90 throughout the whole day parking cars (where each car she parked was $0.50). Before noon she parked 72 cars, I think, and they wanted to know how many cars she parked after noon, so the answer was 108.</p>

<p>Oh if it was the 6 pointed star question, sorry, it's not 1. I ended up changing it to NINE. I just forgot to update it in my calculator.</p>

<p>were there multiple E's in final part of the error id section?</p>

<p>""I remember the "12" being the chains one...adding a 7 inch chain to an average of 13 chain whatever one.""</p>

<p>Oh, that's right. I got 12 for that one, too.</p>

<p>dang it, i thought it asked for the money she made. maybe i put 108 though, I don't remember anymore, probably not, damn.</p>

<p>STUPID!!! GAAAAARGH!!! I put down three for the equilateral triangles one. I forgot to multiply the final answer by three. Sucker...there goes national merit. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. I had that problem, too, and had about seven extra minutes to check it, but no...<em>grrr</em></p>

<p>Now my day is ruined because I missed a math question :( Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...</p>

<p>In the error ID section, I remember getting a lot of E's (specifically, 5.)...In the middle of that section of it, I got 2 straight E's...which I thought were funny. I think it included the Jackson admin and the Poker question.</p>

<p>""Oh if it was the 6 pointed star question, sorry, it's not 1. I ended up changing it to NINE. I just forgot to update it in my calculator.""</p>

<p>Ah, alright. I remember getting 9 on that one, too.</p>

<p>yea i got around there too</p>

<p>yeah 12 is right</p>

<p>(a + b + c + d + e)/5 = 13
a + b + c + d + e = 65
a + b + c + d + e + 7 = 72
(a + b + c + d + e + 7)/6 = 72/6 = 12</p>

<p>"were there multiple E's in final part of the error id section?"</p>

<p>I really hope so, I got like 3 in a row in the first column of the second page.</p>

<p>thts exactly wht i got</p>
