I agree...

Do you think that they would disqualify you if you bring more than a two sided page of notes because when we went to regionals the person coaching the event didn't look at what we brought

Yah, no doubt, if you brought anything else they would imediately DQ you. You are ONLY allowed a pencill/pen/writing utensil(s), calculator, and notes. They don't look at everything, but if they see you have more notes than 1 sheet, you are DQ without question. Don't even try to bring anything else in.

Also, if anyone is interested, I was able to create a chart with a total of 55 moons in the solar system, complete with official name, orbit period, discoverer, planet of which it orbits, year of discovery, and rotation period. I know its just a small fraction of all the moons, but it took me a little while. I used Google Squared, so it was pretty easy. Sadly the link only allows you to view the square, but if there's anything I didn't put into it that you want me to add, just say so and I'll update the link.

i loved this event! i did it in 7th grade, they took it out when i was in 8th grade and its not a C event cauz its way too easy...

I always imagined solar system to be a tough event because it involves laws of physics and formulas. (Kepler's Laws, Newston's Laws, Laws of gravitational constant etc.)

You know, that particular part of the event has never been that difficult for me. It's always been things such as identifying features of the moon and/or planets that has checked me up...

Thanks!

Below is a link to an interactive site involving the solar system. It is useful for learning about the characteristics and statistics of each planet and the sun.
