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

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

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

Can you use wikianswers to find the answers to a question?
