<p>i had something where you added 3 everytime, but those weren’t the answers, and it wasn’t over 1000</p>
<p>yep…</p>
<p>45000^</p>
<p>What confused me about the problem was that it was asking for the units digit of a number (in the sequence), but the answers were 4 digits long? How does that make sense?</p>
<p>The answer where you added three mighta been the 81 answer.</p>
<p>There’s like this triangle with two sides, 10 and 6
what is the biggest area.</p>
<p>(for the election candidate one)</p>
<p>it was 35 (10 and 7 were the real values)</p>
<p>dsmo, can you explain your question that you put “not enough info” for?</p>
<p>so i guess i missed the last grid in, but I’m still supremely confident that I got all the others right…ALL the others.</p>
<p>they dont penalize you on the grid-ins, so hopefully a 780 or so…</p>
<p>“dsmo, can you explain your question that you put “not enough info” for?”</p>
<p>the answer to that problem was NOT “not enough info.” Use the Vertical Angle theorem and sum of angles in a triangle is 180 and you can find the answer</p>
<p>Can you delineate the actual question, please?</p>
<p>Programmer, I think the actual question is something like, there is a sequence, 1,4,7, …each number after 1 is 3 more than the previous the number, what is the first number that exceeds 1000?</p>
<ol>
<li>1st Grid-In: 106 magazine orders</li>
<li>bunch of triangle intersecting at point P(2nd to last multiple choice before Gridins started): 45 degrees</li>
</ol>
<p>BTW, the answer to the firetruck question is a circle. IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET AN M-DISTANCE OF 3 ALL THE WAY AROUND THE FIREHOUSE. Think of rotating a radius of 3 around the Firehouse and what you get is a circle. A USAMO qualifier who took the SAT with me and am ath professor I talked to this afternoon confirmed that it was indeed a circle, AND NOT A DIAMOND-SHAPED SQUARE.</p>
<p>Are there 4 or 6 ways</p>
<p>106 magazines? i thought it was 108…i remember that of the 7 year-long subscriptions, one of those was 52 per year, but i am blanking on the remaining 6…</p>
<p>i think it should be 108</p>
<p>6 ways</p>
<p>the m-distance was 4 all the way around the firehouse?</p>
<p>The first one was 108 magazines.
The firehouse one was definitely a square since you can’t have any buildings between streets. Everything had to be at the intersection of two lines, so it couldn’t have been a circle.</p>
<p>I’m from Indiana (I dunno if this will make a difference) and in one of my math sections I had to find the area of a cone that resulted from folding a circular piece of paper in half, and then into a quarter, and then separating one layer from the rest, like a coffee filter. I found this question incredibly difficult (and time consuming), but a couple of my friends did not have this problem. Was this experimental section (and no I had no questions about socks)?</p>

<p>Why don’t you just draw a picture. Plot the possible places the truck could go with m-distance 3… it makes a square. If it was a radius, which m-distance is NOT, it would make a circle… but firetrucks can’t drive through the middle of city blocks.</p>
