USAMTS Round 3: 12. 3/3/2/1/3.

Apparently I really HATE the fact that my grader didn't like my brute force solutions for #2 and #4.

And I have a 43 from all 3 rounds so far. Must aim for bronze USAMTS with 17+....Meh. I gotta stop procrastinating, lean away from AIME, and figure out how to get myself a bronze USAMTS this year..

BOGTRO most likely didn't resubmit his solutions, like me.

BTW, I'm finally not failing Round 4. I epically brute forced #2.

Heh, I'm actually not failing anymore. #1 I solved the day the problems came out ( :lol: ) and I solved #2 and #4 like 2 days ago. #2 was epic bash.

I'll give another comment about stanford in a few minutes

Well, we leave for stanford today. Its currently 9:45 AM here in New Jersey, and our flight will leave 6PM. We arrive 9:34 PST, or 12:34 around here, for a 6.5 hour flight.

Stanford should be fun. I don't know what we are doing Friday, however.

The actual competition is on Saturday. It consists of two individual tests, in the subjects "Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Topics (i.e. number theory, counting, probability), Calculus". Algebra appears to be my strong point, and my only other options for the second time fram are Geometry and Calculus.

This is quite convienient because my two best subjects are Algebra and Geometry.

Fantasylover, infinitypi, Zhero, nittanylion, and 39 (or so) others will also be coming.

infinitypi won't answer his phone =(

EDIT: OMG WE GOT 7 COMMENTS
