<p>This was a very hard one. However there are not 9, but 19 7’s in each hundred. 70-79.</p>
<p>yeah 19 7’sd in each hundred… plus you have to take out all the 700’s</p>
<p>was the answer to one of the lobster passage questions (about the ecologists) “Used scientific data” or “observed lobsters in natural environment”?</p>
<p>The dilligent…punctual answer was the correct answer. It fit perfectly into the sentence, as the first word was supposed to mean “hard-working” and the second “on time” (because the second blank described what she was not). It went something like “Dianaschlong was _____ but not _____, for she was hard-working but could not deliver her reports on time.”</p>
<p>The answer to the lobster passage was “observed lobsters in natural environment” since the passage talked about how they were different from lobsterfishermen and scientists because they dived and looked at the lobsters underwater. </p>
<p>For the writing question about washington DC, “to build” was correct since the second part of the sentence had a verb that went like “to ____” which creates the need for parallel construction.</p>
<p>alright guys me and my friends were having a huge debate over certain answers…</p>
<p>I said the answer for the probability question with the two spinners was 1/4…they said 1/3</p>
<p>I said the answer for the xyz odd number one (the one on the number line and we had to pick statements)…i said all and they said I and II only</p>
<p>So, what side was right according to general census?</p>
<p>General consensus says that you are correct for both questions.</p>
<p>for the A,B,X question, i drew a circle with a radius of 3 around point B and a circle with a radius of 5 around A. I didn’t make them tangent, so obviously they had 2 intersections. I put X on of the the intersections and there is only one other point left.</p>
<p>This was a pretty good question, it looks like it got to a lot of people. </p>
<p>I am like a 1000% sure the answer was none. Why are people drawing circles when the question said that the values were on a line? Your answer would be correct had the question not said that the values were on a line.</p>
<p>Is there a general consensus on the “explanation of” problem, since that’s the only one I’m unsure of (if I got it right, then I may have gotten a perfect, but if I got it wrong then 238).</p>
<p>Wow. if i were in that situation ^, i wouldn’'t even care about that question anymore.</p>
<p>I missed the following</p>
<p>CR: Profound question and ecologist question (answer = observe natural enviroment) question</p>
<p>Math: 2 questions (find angle in shaded circle) and how many points are there with A 5 away from X and B 3 away (I put none)</p>
<p>Writing: I put “literally” and I put NE for the Scientists…;IT… question</p>
<p>Im really cutting it close with NMSF (Im in MD so the cutoff is around 221)</p>
<p>omg…</p>
<p>whats the bach question?</p>
<p>and to build wasnt correct.</p>
<p>It was at the center of washington D.C… Shouldve been in the center.</p>
<p>^ i thot the same thing too. I hope you’re right (b/c then i’m right). Do you have substantial connections that confirmed that the answer was “at the center” and not “to build”?</p>
<p>After wht ppl are tellin me here, “to build” was the right answer and i think they’re right. it should be “building”</p>
<p>huh? I thought to build was deff wrong</p>
<p>Do u remember the exact question?</p>
<p>I thot “to build” was wrong too…IDK. </p>
<p>It was like…
“(someone) suggested to build (something) at the center of WAshington D.C. BLAH BLAH BLAH” </p>
<p>I AGREE that “building” would be a much better substitute but the ppl here at CC SAY THAT THE REASON THEY PICKED building was that “to build” sounds wrong but my justification for “at the center” is that “in”…you know what…scratch that. I just looked it up in dictionary.com and it said that “at” was used to indicate position in space, which is correctly used in the context for the sentence above.</p>
<h1>33: When L’Enfant suggested to bulild the capitol buliding at the center of washignton dc, he also offered to build (maybe a dif verb here) blah blah blah. because the second “offered to build” has to be correct, then suggested to build must also be correct. At the center of seems to be an incorrect usage, should be “in the center of”.</h1>
<p>So far i know i missed the bach question and #34 (looking back, “came” was incorrect). Others im not sure about…what did everyone put for #18, about implementing the plan…B or E? and what is this "explanation of/for question i keep seeing? was it in the first 20, bc the only tricky one i recall from the first twenty was #18.</p>
<p>For the implementing plan, i actually put A; there was nothing wrong with it and i was def sure that was right becuase i used POE to confidently knock out the other choices. </p>
<p>Are you sure “at the center” was the correct answer? Because i don’t wana get my hopes up too high if i found out that it wasn’t the correct answer. </p>
<p>Also, “came” was the answer right? Or was that one NE? I put came</p>
<p>100% sure at the center</p>
<p>Why? Itws implying that washington D.C. owns a center which is not possible since its not a person.
it should be in</p>
<p>Came was the answer I put that.</p>
<p>I also put A for implementing. #18</p>
<p>^yay!!!. Finally, someone who i can talk to and not get my hopes down. You just made my day. Maybe there’s a chance after all for NMSemfinalist. (i highly doubt it still). What’d you put for the A, B, X one? </p>
<p>I had none. I confirmed this answer with other math geniuses in my school.</p>
<p>wait now that i think about it, i did put A for #18, do you remember the whole sentence though? so i definitely got Bach and #34 wrong. does anyone remember the explanation of/for question? people have discussed but no one has been able to say where it was, because i remember something about birds and migration, but idr thinking there was anything tricky about it…</p>
<p>@Fresh, I put none, but if you think about it like a diamond, there would have to be one other point.</p>
<p>Why was the answer to the demographics question scope? The line reference they gave you said “though the survey results were skewed (or something like that), the demographic fact shows that reading literature has gone down…” and then the next paragraph starts with, “but what does that really tell us…” The demographic thing he references here wouldn’t be referring to scope, would it? If so, then I missed it completely :)</p>
