<p>(down)that has been explained before search the thread.</p>
<p>i think n was supposed to be a positive integer greater than one…but I’m not so sure…</p>
<p>That’s what I expected it to say but I’m pretty sure it didn’t… (which made me really confused).</p>
<p>was the answer to the parallel lines one 115? </p>
<p>I remember someone saying that some answer was 115, but I don’t remember which question that referred to…</p>
<p>Yeah one answer was 115. I’m not sure if it was for that question though.</p>
<p>Also for one of the multiple choice questions, about the isosceles triangle… was the answer 55 or 70? Because I think both worked but 70 was greater (and that’s what it asked for) so I put that…</p>
<p>It was definitely 55.</p>
<p>180 - 70 = 110
110/2 = 55</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what they got for the shoes size? 7 right? o.o</p>
<p>Yeah but 180-40 (*40 is a multiple of 10) = 140/2 = 70.</p>
<p>Maybe there’s something I missed about that question?</p>
<p>It’s 55. It is an isosceles triangle, so the angle opposite the longest side must be greater than the 2 isosceles angles. We know the angle is a multiple of 10, so it has to be 70, because 60 would make it equilateral. Then you do 180 - 110 / 2 = 55</p>
<p>I think i put 7 for the shoe question, not sure though</p>
<p>Oh I see what I did now… silly me…</p>
<p>Oh and the answer for the shoe one was whatever choice wasn’t a mixed number. So 7 may of been it.</p>
<p>which problem had an answer of 115?</p>
<p>@cupnoodles, I got 7 for shoe size.</p>
<p>I got 7 too.</p>
<p>I got 55 as the answer.</p>
<p>which problem had an answer of 115?</p>
<p>Toss Up Questions: (in my opinion)
- Brain passage – Flexibility of mind vs. strength of response
- Brain passage – Puzzle question – complexity of mind, incomplete sensory data, etc.
- Forten passage – def. of trade – commerce vs. profession vs. craft</p>
<p>The others I think are pretty much set.</p>
<p>I put “complexity of mind” because a puzzle is something complex, and the author wanted to illustrate that completing objects is not an easy task and shows the brain’s depth in deduction.</p>
<p>I put incomplete sensory data because it talked about the brain solving a puzzle, and it was solving the puzzle of not getting enough info from the eyes… it wasn’t like solving itself, at least thats how I took it.</p>
<p>^ Me too, but I don’t think we’re going to reach any sort of a consensus.</p>
<p>I also put incomplete sensory data since the eyes only gave fragments of the entire image and therefore was incomplete. The brain then took those fragments and completed the picture.
I see how you might say “complexity of the mind” but although it was stated in the passage I don’t think it was the "better’ answer “incomplete sensory data” gives a more direct response.</p>
