At state we each had our own account to save on. Like one team was Olympiad.1, one was Olympiad.2, etc. You saved it there and printed it out.

But yeah. Getting first in this made me feel accomplished, because the national champions are in my state. I beat the national champions. I believe they got 6th lol
Are you from Ohio?

They were at an invitational my team went to, and I beat them too! I got 3rd and their two teams got... not so third. I think it may have been the only event in which we beat both of their teams.

thats hardly any NY had 39(though for some reason the team numers went up in tothe 40's)
Also after having a prety disaterous Compute This at regionals(8th-and it was worse than it sounds) we managed to get 3rd at NY states.

it was really a guess i suppose. I went back and tried to find the information again (at home) and all my answers were correct, except for half of a shortanswer. I believe that short answers were 50 points, total, and each question was 10 points. I think the URL is half of the points, so I got probably around 2.5 points off.

I really don't know, but I'm pretty sure the top five teams got near perfect scores, cause the test was really really easy
