Well our States is 30 minutes away, and our Regionals was 25. I'd say 15 just because I can go back if I forget anything and I know the area better.

Would you rather be considered the best team player or the best leader on your team?

Best leader sounds stressful. I'll go with best player. :D

Would you rather have nationals in Ohio or Florida?

In Florida because it just... I dunno. Seems like a better place to go? Not necessarily for SciOly but just in general, because Nats for us is still like a vacation. I hate really hot weather(and I live in SoCal go figure) so maybe Ohio? I can't really decide. Ok my final answer is Florida.

Would you rather trip on stage at the Awards Ceremony or accidentally take a medal of a higher place that wasn't yours? (Like a miscount of points of something, and then have them announce it up there. All "Oh wait, there's been a mistake. So and so, you actually didn't place.")

Ento people rock. :D
I'd definitely say note sheet because our guide has so much more on it, and it's like another not as detailed note sheet.

Would you rather win four 1st places or five 3rd places?

Four first places definitely. Actually, this year at Regionals, I got four third places (all my events). But, the bronze medals hadn't shipped for whatever reason, so they just mentioned the bronze medalists. The whole team found it funny. And also, last year at Regionals, we had this girl on our high school team who got nothing but golds (she either had four or five events).

WYR

Lose to your rival school in an event and get second, or beat your rival school by one place and get sixth (or lowest medaling place)?

That's a hard one. Getting second means they go to Nats and we don't, so I'd say the latter. I would much rather get 5th, which is our lowest trophy place, and beat them by one place.

I actually got 4 gold at Regionals but two of them were actually my events, the third one was the team medal and the fourth was for the little Science Bowl they held before Awards. I only answered like 3 questions, so I tried to give my trophy to my partner who did most of the work, but he refused... People are too nice these days. :lol:

Would you rather have your coach as your parent or have your parent as your coach?

It doesn't really make a difference, but I'd rather have my parent as my coach. XD

Would you rather completely fail state in your events, or do good but have your team fail?

Neither. :P
If I had to choose, I would rather fail myself.

Larva, because the cricketts are stale. :lol:

I think it's actually a larvet, but I'm not sure.

Would you rather be part of the homo sapian species or the T. truncatus species?
