I never knew that. Probably because I've never done it, though I've been to the campus a lot.
Picky meaning that they might give you a ticket for it.

1 hour left.

...Okay, now I'm worried about St. James.

Congrats on your third place finish!

Scores (C):
Olathe North - 128
Olathe East - 114
St. James - 74 (Welcome back)

The top 3 in B were CT, Leawood, and FT, if I'm not mistaken.

I was a bit disappointed with our showing today. I only managed to medal in three events, which is good, but I set my standards high. The WIDI was extremely easy and that was one thing that killed us. High point of the day: Being the first team to defeat St. James in Sumo Bots. And then they beat us twice to get first, but hey, they're no longer undefeated.

Heh, now I'm all the more worried...

How did WIDI kill you if it was that easy? Just curious. Three medals certainly is good - congrats on that. :)

If St. James and Kapaun go against each other in Sumo Bots, I want to be there to watch it. That's going to be awfully interesting...

The Anatomy test was straight from the training handout, almost exactly identical to the Division B test. But the computers there were awesome, all running Windows 7, and the one in our room had an i7 processor. Not a useless paper weight like the ones at St. James.

I wonder if anyone who wrote the tests for your regionals will write state tests... I'll have to remember that.

Gah, I'm jealous. I have Vista, which I think is awesome, but Windows 7? Yes, please.

Well, we two or three of the proctors were teachers from our school. What kind of computers does your school have? We have XP, and they take about five minutes to turn on. I do have Windows Seven on my home computer (IE9 is amazing).

Same with my regionals, but I don't know if any of them are writing state tests.

I think we have Vista. I haven't really used school computers since my computer class last year, so I'm not completely sure. They turn on pretty fast, but their main problem is that some of them are incredibly slow.

Somewhere, I have an old computer that still runs Windows 98.
