I was doing the 2008 Pennsylvania State Finals Event from the Wright Center for practice just before, but I just saw that the answer is not the right answer key... Is there an answer key for this event out there somewhere? Thank you!

I'm pretty sure I have the answer key on paper somewhere. Do you want me to scan the whole thing or do you just want a few answers?

If you could scan the whole answer key that would be simply amazing! If you can, thank you soooo much!

Ok.. I have it, I uploaded it to the wiki... and I don't know where it went or how to put it where people can see it....

[pjgscioisamazing]

I was able to find it in the File List on the Wiki... it was right at the top. Thank you very much!

I have been doing a bunch of old Astronomy tests and I have noticed some kind of discrepancy between the tests. Some of the tests when using the Luminosity to Absolute magnitude formula use the 4.83 number, others use 4.7, and others I can't even guess what number they used to get their answer. Which number is the generally accepted value for "Absolute Magnitude of the sun" at least when using that formula?

I suppose by your information that supervisors could use any value, so I would ask them what value they are using in the test just in case. 4.83 seems to be the most accurate.

The beginning part of the rules is really bugging me. When it says each team member may bring a laptop or binder, does that mean that one person could bring a laptop and the other could bring a binder? This would solve an argument my partner and I had regarding this.

Yes, I believe that you would be able to bring in a binder and a laptop.

[Glacierguy1]

You can bring 2 resources divided any way you want: either 2 laptops, 2 binders, or 1 binder and one laptop.You can also bring any 2 calculators in addition.
