with the glass: it was a definite orange
without it: yellowish orange

Ok, while is would know my powders, polymers and such inside and out thats worth about 50% of the event; I would also learn how to write good crime essays seeing that they are worth 25% so if you just do those two thats about 75% of the event write there. The rest is like match a fingerprint and do chromatography which if it come down to it you can wing it.

Division B does not do Forensics, you do Crimebusters, which is very similar but not the same. Unless your region is doing something really weird.
What grade are you in? Are you competing with a middle school team or a high school team?
