<p>Oh my, why does every thread have to turn into that ball question?</p>
<p>because its 10!! (i hope :P )</p>
<p>I hope to God they throw out that "ball" math question... I put 10, but I definitely can see valid arguments for both answers due to, in my opinion, ambiguities in the question.</p>
<p>And I think it said different colors as well... I think most people just assumed that meant different designs...</p>
<p>Then I can say that there were valid arguments for this one about a circle inscribed in a square (pi/4). It had a length of 2 for a side (didn't say anywhere that if it was the whole side and did not tell in the writing. Just had a 2 by it). I took it to be HALF the length of the square. The area would then be pi. I percieved it wrong way. They wouldn't throw it out. Probably wouldn't do the ball one either..</p>
<p>if they throw out a question, they should throw out that writing question with 65 and/or older because that question could go either D or E and both would be right no questions asked.</p>
<p>honestly...I don't think the ball question should be thrown out. The wording simply tricked too many people.</p>
<p>In the beginning of the question it said, "In the picture above, Color 1 and Color 2 represent two DISTINCT COLORS in the design." </p>
<p>Then later it said, "How many DIFFERENT DESIGNS are possible."</p>
<p>So yes...it did say different designs, but those designs don't include balls where Color 1 and Color 2 are the same. Hence, the answer is 20.</p>
<p>Sorry that you guys misread, but I spent a lot of time on that problem making sure I had it right.</p>
<p>Please look at this link. It talks about the section which would not be scored for Oct 14 th test.</p>
<p>nevergiveup, that's not what this thread is about...</p>
<p>Any thoughts on throwing out questions in the CR sections, instead of that ball question?</p>
