Would you rather?

[Metasepia_pfefferi]

Division C.
WYR participate in only five study events or in only five build events for your SciOly season?

[ceg7654]

Five study events because I'm much better at studying. Even though building would probably be more fun for me, SciOly isn't about me, it's about our team.

Would you rather win 1st at Regionals or 10th at States?

1st at Regionals definitely. At least in Tennessee, where only 18 teams compete at state.

Would you rather be in a state where you're sure to make Nationals, although the state tournament is poorly run, or be in a really competitive, well-run state where you have a 25% chance of making Nationals.

[ceg7654]

The latter definitely. Well, I live in SoCal, and I think it's pretty competitive and well run. I think we have less than 25% chance to go to Nats though.

Would you rather be incredibly good at dancing or singing? Any kind, so from hip hop to ballet, to opera to rap. (Does rap count as singing?)

[Astroknight]

Have someone post something pointless and annoying so it won't be directed at me, but I can still have the satisfaction of reporting them.

WYR have three building events assigned to you in the last week before states, or have to do ten events of choice?

Wouldn't ten events be nearly impossible to do?

The latter definitely. Well, I live in SoCal, and I think it's pretty competitive and well run. I think we have less than 25% chance to go to Nats though.

Singing, definitely. So many routes are available to great singers.


WYR go to a small private school where nothing ever happens but have all your classmates be good friends or go to a huge public school where stuff is always happening but you only have some friends and your other classmates don't like you so much.

Hahaha, 5 study events? I have that, and it's definitely not too bad when you're in middle school. Maybe high schoolers may not want that. 5 build events though... there's only 24 hours in a day, sadly.

Probably the small private school. I can always make stuff happen, right? But I might not always be able to have a bunch of friends.

WYR have an Apple phone or an Android phone? I'm assuming Windows phones are out of the question .

[ceg7654]

Apple phone definitely(here come the Android people and their rants about how Apple is overrated ). I have one right now, and even though I don't use it other than to just call and text, it's really easy to use and I think if I were ever given an Android I would just be like "... How do I do ___?" With Apple, even if you have no idea how to use it, you can play around a little and you can figure it out easily enough. (Again I apologize Android lovers and please do not kill me.)

Would you rather find out your partner(for a study event) had to be switched out with someone who knew nothing or find out you had to go in and sub for a study event which you knew nothing about?

Sub in for an event I knew nothing about. I would be terrified if my partner had to sub out for someone else. One time, my partner had to drop SO for family reasons (she was lead) and I had to become lead for the event. I was on the C team at the time, so no one really cared. We ended up getting 2nd at Regionals though.

WYR have all your events one after the other, or have a hour-long break between each one?

[ceg7654]

One of my friends has 5 events at State, one after another with no breaks except for the last time period. I feel really bad for him, but I think I'd rather have them one after another, just because I want to get them all over with. My schedule at State is DP, then Ento, then two hour long breaks, then WIDI I think. I don't want to have two hours leading up to WIDI because that's the one I'm most afraid of, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Would you rather be known as the best study-event person or the best builder in your entire team?
