Compute This

[zorbak5044]

what about pancakes? do you think we could bring those?

[pilotman1]

i wish because pancakes are good but they need syrup and it would get every where

[pilotman1]

but that would be totally awesome if we could

[giguere35]

yes that would be totally awesome

is state competition going to be harder than regionals? i mean, i know it's going to be harder, but is it going to be hard?

im just asking this because regionals in compute this was pretty easy. we got a 4th place medal but at the same time finished the first. i REALLY wish this event had bonuses for finishing early.

In this event, occasionally time is a tie breaker

I got 3rd place today in compute this..regionals..., and nothing, no data nor extended response questions, were on our website!!
Stupid Metals:
50% Ferrosilicon
75% Ferrosilicon
Silicon Metals.
We were supposed to graph the average price in cents per pound each is worth from year 1998-2006.
I dont even remember the short answer..
For all I care, it was probably a three way tie, all having 100s :p

It looks like you need to practice more. It took me about 5 minutes to find the 2 documents you need to get the prices
hxxp://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/silicon/silicmcs07.pdf
hxxp://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/silicon/760302.pdf

Both of these were fould with a simple search for "ferrosilicon price" on the main page.
If you want to do well at State, you need to spend a whole lot more time looking around the site.

Good Luck
