Best studier, because study events > building events

Would you rather win an event at states or get 4th at nats?

Get 4th at Nats, because going to Nats means getting 1st overall at States. And I would really love that this season.

Would you rather have a member of your immediate family(parents and siblings) who's non SciOly or your best non SciOly friend be your partner? For all your events?

As annoying as it would be, I would rather have an immediate family member be my partner since I can freely boss them around. XD

Would you rather get 3rd in state for all of your events, or get 1st in your favorite event, but 6th in everything else?

3rd for all my events. I love all my events almost equally, but I'd like to think that I put the same amount of effort in each one.

Would you rather do an event all by yourself or with three other people who knew nothing? Of course you can't have four people on an event, but for this game's purposes only.

With Pentathalon, you're actually required to have four people on the event. I would much rather go in by myself, for it would be really frustrating to run every answer through three people.

go to a really well-run Nationals in the middle of nowhere, or a averagely-run Nationals in an awesome location. ;)

Yeah but isn't Pentathlon not an event anymore? It sounds pretty fun but also pretty hard.

I'd rather go to a really well run Nats because I'm not going to Nats for the location, I'm going for the competition.

Would you rather have records of every SciOly practice moment ever or have records of every SciOly competition moment ever?

Practice moments don't have to be recorded. It you want to relive practice moments, then just practice. As for competition moments... You can't really repeat them. So I'm going to have to choose competition moments.

Would you rather spend all of your time practicing for Science Olympiad (no computer, no phone, no TV, nothing except practice) and do well, or spend no time practicing and bomb all of your events?

Spend all my time studying.. I pretty much do already :D
WYR forget all your resources (like notes, field guide...) to an event you know really well or have your resources for an event you don't know as well?

Of course have resources for an event I will probably need them the most at.

Would you rather have competition on a rainy cold day or a hot dry day?

Hot and dry. It would be terrible to have a cold and rainy day, for events like Bottle Rocket and Pentathalon would have to be cancelled.

WYR

Have a competition that's five hours away and you spend the night there, or have a competition that's fifteen minutes away from your house?
