The Crave test at States was almost identical to the one at Regionals, though.

Yeah, because it had almost all of the Regional test, plus another few things. It was substantially the same, though.

this post is for Phenylethylamine, because s/he brought this up on p 18

I was running through the Wikipedia on the Doppler effect and found this:
" A common misconception

Craig Bohren pointed out in 1991 that some physics textbooks erroneously state that the observed frequency increases as the object approaches an observer and then decreases only as the object passes the observer.[3] In fact, the observed frequency of an approaching object declines monotonically from a value above the emitted frequency, through a value equal to the emitted frequency when the object is closest to the observer, and to values increasingly below the emitted frequency as the object recedes from the observer. Bohren proposed that this common misconception might occur because the intensity of the sound increases as an object approaches an observer and decreases once it passes and recedes from the observer and that this change in intensity is misperceived as a change in frequency."

Also, the study of music as it is relevant to crave the wave is about how frequency is important to pitch, standing waves in string and winds and other things like that... try this site:http://cnx.org/content/m11060/latest/

I'm female. I think I read that at some point- and then I saw that mistake on an actual event answer key. They must have gotten the answers for the key from some source that had that error.

At least they didn't have that on Ny states :D

Wouldn't that give the poeple in that region an advantage? Or did all the regions have the same test?
