Coach (reading a question): "Identify this East African country based on its list of rulers-"
*I buzz in*
Coach: "...I didn't even read the list yet, let me read it".
Me: "Nah, it's ok, I wanna answer. Ethiopia".
Coach: "...What? How did you get that?"
Me: "Well, the only East African countries with notable leaders are Egypt and Ethiopia. I figured that Egypt was way too obvious, and I assume that the last name on that list was Hallie Selassie, one of the rulers of Ethiopia."
Coach: *looks at list and sees that the last name on the list is Hallie Selassie* "...How...what?"

My other favorite was:

Coach (reading a question): "Lepidolite..."
Me *buzzing in, interrupting the question* "Mica".
Coach: "...Yes."
This happens to me all the time! But sometimes it's not that fair, I just get lucky, like on a geography bee...

"You're sitting in Budape--"

"Hungary."

"...I didn't even finish the question and hint."

"It's Hungary."

"That it is."

I'm partly Hungarian :D

Apparently so is spelling "tough".

Anyways, a conversation I had with my mom today.

Mom: So why do you want to take Calculus this summer instead of next year?

Me: Because then next year I can teach myself Calc 2.

Mom: So you want to take a class over the summer so you can teach yourself the next level for no credit at all?

Me: ...Yeah, that pretty much sums it up...

Haha (sounds a lot like me!). I'm finishing up PreCalc this summer for no reason other than I want to do Calculus this fall! >_<

First of all, I'm a member on this website. Also, in my spare time I look up random facts, read the newspaper and memorize diffrent types of dogs and cats. I also read the encyclopedia, big chunks of it, like I flip though and start reading then realize its been two hours. I'm not that nerdy, just a little. :D :D :lol: :lol: :D ;)

Tie between making a very long list of geeky math jokes (too pathetic to post here) and memorizing 61 digits of pi. :D

Study for a school test during regionals.
I go to school at Cerro Villa MS. A neighboring school of El Rancho Charter, a once dominating science olympiad team. Rebecca Black goes to El Rancho. It's Friday everyday there. :D
