oh, okay.

[Mr. Cool]

But do you guys know about actual elemental percentage? You see, the percent of the element phosphorous would not actually be, say 16%, because the chemical formula for P in fertilizer in P2O5. I will add how to calculate it to the wiki later.

[girlfromindiana]

what grade are you people in?

justthe percentage

[Mr. Cool]

I'm in Division B.

[gyourkoshaven]

Do it if you want, Mr. Cool, but as girlfromindiana said, you won't need to know it for B.

[2win]

Actually, you're wrong. We had to know it for an invite and we are expecting to see it at regionals.

What you do or don't "need to know" isn't very well-defined, that's the issue.

[2win]

Well, it's just that everyone is from different states and that makes a difference. People just need to clarify their state when posting.

[Phenylethylamine]

Yeah, although the rules are identical from state to state. There is a difference in the event writers, though, so I see what you mean.

(Incidentally, I'm from NY.)

[2win]

Oh, Texas here. You should put your first statement in the Is this allowed thread.
