<p>i thought it said two distinct colors. but i was skimming so i could have read it incorrectly…</p>
<p>I know this is really bad but I couldn’t figure out the question about:</p>
<p>|x - 4| = -1/2 (I think)</p>
<p>I put 3.5 and I spent a bit of time trying to figure out what other values for x could be placed to make it true. :(</p>
<p>it should be positve 1/2 because the absolute value of anything is going to be positive.</p>
<p>i am pretty sure you got the right answer, so don’t be so sad! :)</p>
<p>A B C D E
A-B, A-C, A-D, A-E: 4
B-C, B-D, B-E: 3
C-D, C-E: 2
D-E: 1</p>
<p>There really is no difference between A-B and B-A. The question simply wanted you to find how many pairs of distinct color combinations there are. It never stated that it had to be in a particular order. I also encountered this of question several times in the blue book as well as in kaplan’s practice tests; they all used the same methodology to solve it. Basically, 4+3+2+1= 10 different choices.</p>
<p>the answers were 20 and 2.5.</p>
<p>lol so what is it </p>
<p>10 or 20?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>it’s driving me crazy…who remembers the question right?</p>
<p>it was 20 dude…
and the question did say the two colours had to be distinct. I dont remember exactly how it was phrased, but I’m a 100% sure it said that…</p>
<p>was 0.5 a possible answer for the ABCDE line question?</p>
<p>0<x<1.5 was good for line question. Trust me i spent a lot of time on it.</p>
<p>i tried .5 and it didnt work -_-</p>
<p>i spent like 5 minutes on it</p>
<p>i found a contradictory in the problem with .5</p>
<p>but 1 worked</p>
<p>but dont quote me since i made 3 idiotic mistakes. 2.8 million problem, sunshine/rain, v-x(etc.)</p>
<p>i dont care if i get hard questions wrong, it just ****es me off since i got 3 easy level questions wrong</p>
<p>what was the answer to the one about the 84 people divided into 19 tables…i didnt answer it</p>
<p>was 14000k a choice for the 280k one?</p>
<p>or was 28,000K an answer choice?</p>
<p>what was the towel question?</p>
<p>ok thanx…</p>
<p>was that a grid-in?..crap i put 30</p>
<p>Qrd, I think the answer was 8 for the tables one. The towel question was 15.</p>
<p>was the test hard?</p>
<p>JIMMY@KILLARNEY</p>
<p>THANK YOU!</p>
<p>I would draw the pic but I took photoshop off my pc.</p>
<p>you could only use 2 colors. They couldn’t be the same. You had to have 1 remain the same color and 2 a different color.</p>
<p>The towel question was: Samantha has 6 brown towels. She has more towels in the closet. If the probability of her picking a brown towel is 2/5, how many towels are there in all?</p>
