<p>can we discuss the problems?</p>
<p>Certainly, ladies first.</p>
<p>it was ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>wow. is this a national thing? i thought it's only our school.</p>
<p>i think (not sure) each state has its own test. also, i would refrain from discussing until at least end of this week (not sure about next week) since school are given the flexibility to shift the time to take it due to spring break.</p>
<p>I took the MD one. I got a 6/6, The first 5 were mad easy; the 6th was a bit tougher, but I psuedo-guessed right(I had no real mathematical proof, more of just reason). It's my first 6, and I haven't had a great year (4,2,5,5,6,?), but Im still tied with a Senior for #1 in my school.</p>
<p>Which math league lol. I took the central NJ one.</p>
<p>The one with 200, 10000, 101, 32, 1002, and 6 & 14 as the answers?</p>
<p>For those who took the NY Math League...
If you didn't know how to get the last one with the two squares correct:
First, forget everything you know about geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus.
Then add and subtract.
The NYML, knowing what kind of students take their tests, likes to throw in tricks like this.</p>
<p>omg *** was up with the two squares one. It was like, list all the possible values of the side. I had 6, and then i was like wait, this is too easy. So i put 4<x<6.</p>
<p>I had the last one with two squares.</p>
<p>I didn't understand #5 at all, with the coordinates or whatever. I only got a 4 (#1-4). Can anyone explain #5 (if they remember it)?</p>
<p>I think the country takes the same test, but each state distributes it w/ its name on the top.</p>
<p>number 5 was the circle one. the answer was 1002, because that was the only number that would cause the difference between the slope of one line from two points to the slope of one line from two other points [with one point overlapping] to be zero. (because than the circle would be undefined [zero as denominator])</p>
<p>6 was extremely difficult. I had less time than I should have to take it, but I was stumped. It was obvious after I looked at the solution, but isn't it always?</p>
<p>6 the square one, with the answer of 6? That was weird, it was like show all possible values of the connection, and I was like wth isn't it just 6? then i ended up putting a bs answer.</p>
<p>i think it's 6 and something else.. the answer has something to do with congruent triangles from what I hear.</p>
<p>It was 2 and 14; at least for the MD test.</p>
