Compute This

can you make websites this year that was helpful when i did it (3 years ago)

to find information i always did this (in order)
1) check if its on my website
2) google ADVANCE SEARCH (top 5 at most)
3) skip and move on
4) go back and try a domain search
5) go through the site....

the key to this event is knowing on how to find specific information FAST (this is why i like using advance search on google)

thats a good process

i always checked my site first then i would move on to advanced google search and searching the domain that we were looking under, if i couldn't find it i would move on

yeah for some reason i just REALLY hated domain searches i don't know why but the just annoy me to no end

well the site this year is usgs.org you have to post the answer AND the sepcific site so like 7 usgs.org/random/page

ooo try this onehow many people and states have a significant risk of earthquakes

75 million in 39 states but I guess i have to graph it too in competition "sigh"

you would have to graph that? do you have go graph the answer to all questions or only certain ones? If you do have to graph that then how would you do that? Like what information would you put where and what type of graph

[rocketman1555]

you have to graph anything that they tell you to graph, you probably will only have to make one or two graphs
