<p>Am I the only person who thinks the answer for the Einstein question was contingent instead of postulate…?</p>

1102

<p>Yeah, I don’t really see contingent working in that sentence.</p>

1103

<p>for the hexagon one does anyone remember the perimeter they gave you in the question. I dont remember what I put for the answer but I know that i thought that each line was length 1 instead of length 2 like what other people are saying.</p>

1104

<p>@my88keys</p>

<p>The sentence was saying something like t Einstein assumed some theory to be accurate and relied upon it for all his work. If he relied upon it, shouldn’t it be contingent?</p>

1105

<p>@ Cghiru</p>

<p>The hexagon’s perimeter was 36.</p>

1106

<p>I remember that the blank was supposed to be a noun. And the noun contingent doesn’t fit.</p>

1107

<p>And contingent means subject to chance so…</p>

1108

<p>F kk k. For the 4-6 seater table question I thought iT just said that an equal amount of tables were used</p>

1109

<p>contingent also means “dependent on or conditioned by something else”</p>

1110

<p>Was* ooops</p>

1111

<p>Postuale - A thing suggested or assumed as true as the basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief.</p>

<p>I believe that’s the better choice.</p>

1112

<p>oh i guess that makes sense</p>

1113

<p>Did anyone have section 9 as a 16-problem math section? I’m guessing it was experimental because my other three math sections had 20, 20, and 18 problems in them as usual…</p>

1114

<p>if it was postulate then im very happy, does anyone knoe the context of the sacrosanct arcane question?</p>

1115

<p>anyone remember an identifying error question for which ‘may be’ was incorrect?</p>
