Do you mind sharing any questions you didnt expect on the test?...
I pretty much expected everything, didnt get much wrong except for some mistakes that I couldn't remember how to change after moving stations. The only harder questions pertained to MN specific fossil sites. I thought I had them, apparently not. Sudan Formation...
...Sudan is a country. The Soudan Mine. That's where they claimed they found Dark Matter. It used to be an iron mine.
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.

1st in MP, 1st in Mousetrap (though I had very little to do with it), 2nd in Forensics, 3rd in Fossils, and 6th in WIDI. One of my solid days I guess :)
what was your mousetrap score/time?

Yes, Eastview's going to Nats again... hopefully we'll have a banner this year. ;)

Has anyone else had state, or are we just ridiculously early?

Yeah, PA has one of the last states tourneys, just one day before NY's, which I think is the last. It's a shame for the teams hoping to contend for nationals, but great for being prepared.
