<p>the pyramid question answer was 2. i think its b/c the surface area of everything was 5. and the surface area of the square was 1. so the other 4 triangles each have to have a surface area of 1. 1/2(1)h=1. so h is 2.</p>
<p>WAIT. Why was the snail pi one not 26pi??? I was sure it was. or did I calculate the area?</p>
<p>Yup, the surface area one was 2.</p>
<p>The “snail pi” one was the one with the spiral? In that case, it was 10pi</p>
<p>idk why but it keeps coming out to 23 for me</p>
<p>You might be calculating area, which would give you a larger number.</p>
<p>nvr mind i got</p>
<p>The surface area one couldn’t have been 2. 2 was the height of the pyramid, the question asked for the length of CD. I think you had to do the Pythagorean Theorem but I omitted that one.</p>
<p>SO Which math was the experimental one? Can we get a consensus? Was it the grid in one? or the one with the snail pi one?</p>
<p>Grid Ins are never experimental, are they?</p>
<p>They asked for the height not CD</p>
<p>No, I’m absolutely sure they asked for CD.</p>
<p>CD WAS the height actually. And it is 2 because: [imgur:</a> the simple image sharer](<a href=“http://imgur.com/j4buK]imgur:”>Imgur: The magic of the Internet)</p>
<p>EDIT: No CD wasn’t my bad. I put 2 though. I meant that CD was the height of the triangle.</p>
<p>And the grid one is never the experimental one, I think. I’m pretty sure it was the one with the prime number p* question.</p>
<p>Darn, I successfully solved for height, but made a careless oversight.</p>
<p>@AspiringAchiever Accidentally rhyming! :D</p>
<p>Was the surface area one an experimental?</p>
<p>How are we supposed to know -______________-</p>
<p>Math was never my strong point. I think I omitted two, and I know for sure I got -2 so far.</p>
<p>Man, 2 wrong on math so far. That’s usually like a 760 right? :(</p>
<p>Oh by the way, what’d you guys write your essays about?</p>
<p>I’ll be happy with 740+ at this point. Reading went pretty well, I think I’m at -1 or -2. </p>
<p>Was the “simple” question candid or basic? Basic seemed like a luring answer, whereas candid means impartial, straightforward.</p>
