<p>post a lot of random questions and we'll analyze!</p>
<p>BTW, did anyone notice that the second math section seemed a lot easier than the first?</p>
<p>The answers I am certain about:
the circles thing.... the answer was 18. NEVER ever try to draw 50 inches your self
the green square blue square whatever was 4
the last answer was 1/45</p>
<p>How do you do the wierd problem with the triangles in it
and the wierd .01xy thing???</p>
<p>he's going to be back in an hour or so...he had to go somewhere</p>
<p>wow this thread is dominating the board.</p>
<p>do you have the context for that? i forget what the lines said and what passage it is.</p>
<p>actually jekyll...the circles was 17 and the green square was 2...</p>
<p>R U sure??
Have you encountered it before?</p>

</ol>
<p>yes, the posts of the thread ring in concert with the answers of 17 and 2, and i missed both, i put 16 and 0, stupid me</p>
<p>jrcho88 I got the same answers</p>
<p>i agree with your answers for the old man passage.</p>
<p>Yeah--2 green squares, 17 circles...I had ten minutes left over and two questions left. Ironically, I spent those minutes drawing the seventeen circles and going over how many different squares could be made.</p>
<p>1,000% positive that's the answer.</p>
<p>But in this time of trial, let's recall how the number of green squares will help us in real life...</p>
<p>LOL

<p>9 and 10. also D and E, respectively.</p>
<p>for 10. no feeling of concern, at least not in the whole context, no uneasiness it was natural, "historical objectivity" haha good one, subtle sarcasm, no sarcasm at all</p>
<p>so really for 10, it might be either B or E, what do you think?</p>
<p>why isn't it "sympathetic concern", I mean he's reading to the lonely old man for crying out loud.</p>
<p>Jrcho--that's exactly what I got for the old man passage. I was kind of torn though between appreciation/admiration.</p>
<p>What about this question. I think A is the most obvious choice but I avoided it because he said "I let my beard go" which means that he doesn't usually 'let his beard go'</p>
<ol>
<li>The description in lines 18-23 primarily serves to
A) depict a habitual condition
B) justify a complaint
C) convey a deep resentment (my guess..i think im wrong)
D) explain a humiliating predicament
E) evoke a state of mind</li>
</ol>
<p>I think it did imply sincere respect. When he read the poetry slowly and realized its beauty, he saw that the old man was wise.</p>
<p>Thats what I got from it.</p>
<p>I was thinking back on all my major test days, I've seen that I never get any sleep the night before, and for some reason all my teachers decide to dump tons of homework on me the night before. I know the homework thing can't be helped, but how do you guys get to sleep the night before. I have to wake up early for the SAT in November and I need to get some sleep. Thanks</p>
<p>Symphatetic concern would probably concern the old dude's wellbeing and state of mind. The reader wasn't taking the time to give the piece justice and the old man obviously enjoyed the piece--therefore, to savor the experience.</p>
<p>Double-guessing yourself...a valuable skill....LOL</p>
<p>do you have the context for that question jrcho?</p>
<p>I love this quick answer thing finally....GAY MARRIAGE brought to attention and abortion</p>
