I found the slip of paper a few days ago that I think I wrote when I was in kindergarten. It is just a sequence of numbers and you have to find the next number, the pattern is . I couldn't solve this and was wondering if any of you can find the pattern
yeah, bruh you cant call the three that you got wrong on target sillies. maybe like 1 or 2
I put 2025 for subset problem cuz I was being goofy, I put 13.5 instead of 27/2, and I got both leg lengths correct on the right triangle I just Pythagorean theoremed wrong
Didn't want to judge before I got the test, but here is every silly I made, or questions that I could have easily gotten right
Sprint:
11) I forgot that that
14) I honestly don't know how I sillied this, but I think I put that or smth
24) I forgot to read "odd"
28) not a silly, but a genuine mistake
30) Rushing at the end of the test with little scratch paper, and probably like 10 arithmetic mistakes caused me to get this wrong, although it was easy in concept
Target
6) I had the correct answer, but I doubted myself, and I didn't want to check with like 5 seconds left. In an alternate universe, I could have easily gotten this one right
8) Overthought it and put 81/2, thought that I had to multiply by 3 since it was a group of three, but I forgot that you could take a running probability, and it doesn't have to be in packages of three. Borderline if you count this as a silly, but I'll count it, since I could have seen myself getting in right.
VERY disappointed in my performance in state, since I did so well in chapter 43), with only 1 SILLY (not necessarily a silly per se, but a question that I could have easily gotten right)!!! Most math contests I make like 3-4 sillies, so I thought if I continue my performance, I could have a decent shot at making nationals (I live in cali, so a "decent" shot for me is <5%). Nevertheless, my performance at state was very bad (for me), and I did not even make cdr. I got first in my chapter, and 2 people from my chapter made top 10, and one even got third! If I had the best possible score I could have gotten I would have gotten a 42, which would have putten me comfortably for cdr, although I still wouldn't have made nationals, but my main goal (realistic) goal was cdr. And before you say it's unrealistic to score almost the same in target and chapter, I know some people who boosted their score by like 5 points (I think). And even I went from a 41 (I think) on school to a 43 on chapter. Now, all of these things wouldn't really matter besides one crucial factor, I am in 8th grade, and this is my last year doing mathcounts. Mathcounts is what has gotten me into comp math, and I am forever grateful for the problems and experiences Mathcounts has provided me. I didn't do it as a sixth grader because I had never heard of comp math before, and I thought it was just another one of those "challenging" middle school math programs that ask, "WHaT iS ThE GreATeST 3 DiGiT INTeGer????!!?!!!" But when I saw my friend doing some mathcounts problems that were legitamately challenging, I decided to got, and oh boy did I love it. I tried out for the team in 7th grade, and I made it (partially my taking every test and memorizing all the solutions because my coach uses old tests for selection). I made it to chapter, where I won CDR!!!!! Winning CDR in chapter my first year was by far my proudest accomplishment in my comp math career, since I only just barely made CDR. But in 8th grade, I didn't practice as much as I did in 7th, so I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed in my score. But, I'm not really mad at how I did, but more of the fact that i don't get another shot to prove myself. So, to any seventh graders who are disappointed in their score in mathcounts, please remember that you have a whole year to practice and improve. But, I've met some of my best friends in mathcounts, so I guess I could say:
"The real mathcounts is the friends we made along the way"
