<p>the puzzle question was something about a response</p>
<p>in the eye and sensory passage, there was a question asking about the “choosing practially any object over points” or something like that. i chose the one about the lack of discrimination. i forgot what the other choices were, but what did you guys get for that?</p>
<p>oh, did the passage talk about him buying anything as well? I think commerce is more of an overall buying and selling thing.</p>
<p>puzzle- incomplete sensory data? i remember thinkiing about this one for a bit</p>
<p>I think it’s commerce. He dealt in commerce. He lent and borrowed money, and he sold and bought things. If he were a lawyer or something, then profession would make sense.</p>
<p>sopheng- pretty positive that ones the strength of the response</p>
<p>1a1…i remeber putting something about the complexity of the brain…not sure if im rite though</p>
<p>For how many ordered pairs of positive integers (x,y) is 2x + 3y < 6</p>
<p>How do you solve this?</p>
<p>I think it showed the complex nature of the brain, not incomplete sensory data. I’m not sure, though. Anybody else?</p>
<p>well the point one was that even if the tree was incomplete the brain still worked it out. forget the exact phrasing though</p>
<p>incomplete sensory data is what I put, since the brain puts those pieces together, but the brain itself is not a puzzle…</p>
<p>and the strength of the response one I put too</p>
<p>I put complexity of the brain. A puzzle is usually something that involves an arduous task to complete. A brain’s capacity to complete these puzzles almost instantaneously is awe-inspiring.</p>
<p>definition of profession:</p>
<ol>
<li> any vocation or business. </li>
</ol>
<p>I win.</p>
<p>ooooo does anybody remember that qs…</p>
<p>like the line was “humans would prefer practically any object over scattered points”</p>
<p>what does “practically” do in the sentence</p>
<p>i was debating over the complex nature vs incomplete sensory data one…
i chose the incomplete sensory data b/c it was describing how the building hidden from the field of view by the tree. i picked the complex nature one at first, but then i sorta thought that was too scientific, considering the gist of the passage.</p>
<p>For how many ordered pairs of positive integers (x,y) is 2x + 3y < 6</p>
<p>I don’t even think that was a question</p>
<p>ChoklitRain, Highhopes, and I all said commerce</p>
<p>those other 2 are prob…one of the smartest ones here…so yea…</p>
<p>that guy, hopefulceo, is just asking questions that come out of the blue book, it wasn’t on this psat</p>
<p>but he never talked about the brain being complicated. </p>
<p>“For the completing figures ones, I put FORMS. It was talking about seeing things like buildings, etc, not symbols or diagrams.”
I put diagram. The completing figures question was at the very beginning when the guy was talking about humans connecting the imperfect edges of a shape.</p>
<p>The brain is what solves the puzzle, meaning the brain itself is not a puzzle, but rather a tool that puts together the pieces it receives from incomplete sensory data (seeing half a building obscured by a tree, etc.)</p>
