<p>Why am I the only one who thought that the math was hardā¦?</p>
<p>I put 10 because I read the question wrongā¦ but yes it was 11. The sides of the right trangle were 6, 8, and 10. The perimeter was thus 24. You needed to find the longest side of an isosceles with the same perimeter, where all three sides are integers. </p>
<p>An isosceles has 2 sides so 2x + y = 24.
x + (y/2) = 12.
Since they have to be integers the simplest y can be is 2/2 = 1, -1 from both sides, x = 11.</p>
<p>If I miss the merit scholarship by a single question, i.e. this one, then Iām going to be kind of sad.</p>

<p>Kinda a throw back: the last question on art- why would he go into the beauty in the sculpture when his whole point is NOT valuing art for beauty?</p>
<p>Also for that section- whatād you guys put for the combining sentences one?</p>
<p>From earlier in the thread: the thieving art one was D. (For form W) the underlined portion was had shrunk,when it should have been had shrunken.interestingly enough, there was an earlier question with the same error.</p>
<p>I thought broach in that case meant to shape - he was trying to portray the suggestions to not offend Mo</p>
