<p>Can someone explain the 50.05% one? Cuz I think I got that one wrong.</p>

<p>the answer was 50.5%…</p>

<p>(28,000+x)+(x)=2,800,000</p>

<p>28,000+2x=2,800,000</p>

<p>2x=277200</p>

<p>x=1386000…then plug it in to (28000+x)</p>

<p>and divide by 2,800,000</p>

<p>1414000/2,800,000= 50.5%</p>

<p>Ah, ok, for some reason I did whatever x + the other number = 28000. So i got 50.1. Oops.</p>

<p>Hey wait…
for baseball thing…
there were 3 spots…not 2…
I think answer is 60…hopefully/…</p>

<p>No, the two side ones were supposed to be the same color.</p>

<p>DOES ANYONE REMEMBER for the question about 1/4 of a circle (answer pi/4) what some of the other choices were? Was either pi/2 or pi a choice?</p>

<p>Pi was. Those A.holes didnt mention the WHOLE square having side of 2. I thought it was just half… so I put Pi. However it was pi/4.</p>

<p>Gyros, if that’s true, we can actually argue this question!</p>

<p>Knowing me, I probably didn’t read the part where it said the diameter was 2.</p>

<p>Who remembers this question (worded something like this):</p>

<p>There are 75 numbers and the median is 2. What is the smallest total of all 75 numbers?</p>

<p>I put 78…I think the answers were 78, 111, 113, 150 and one other.</p>

<p>Because I did 0 x 36 for the first 36 numbers, then 2 x 39 for the rest and got 78 as my answer.</p>

<p>Was this on the experimental or not??</p>

<p>It never said that the total length or even a little brachet thingy showing the whole length. It just had “2” by one side of the square. I took it to be half the length of a square…
Music that was experimetnal.</p>

<p>are you kidding me right now? it said 75 numbers?</p>

<p>I did not have that 75 number question. I think experimental.</p>

<p>oh thank god. I was scared i was going to add another stupid mistake to my wrong total to bring it to 4… then i’d be forced to cancel my scores</p>

<p>Hey you guys know the answer to the rectangle problem that goes something like "if the length is increased by 30% and width reduced by 30%'…I dunno but I put increases by 30%?</p>

<p>decreased by 9 percent clasun</p>

<p>the pi answer was pi/4</p>

<p>caesar, im 99% sure .5 could work.</p>

<p>Just2fitz,</p>

<p>do you remember if pi/2 a possible choice? I know it’s not the right answer, just wondering.</p>

<p>It was a choice. So was pi.</p>

<p>You’re talking about the circle problem with radius 1</p>

<p>and the area of the square was 4?</p>

<p>yeah, that’s the one.</p>

<p>I think I found the circumference rather than area.</p>
