Oof protein modeling was a nightmare for me.And I was a sub!
Even then my partners found it painstaking and annoying so I guess our team thinks its quite hard.
Also, I quote my coaches when they said PM was awful to grade. So yea........... :cry:

This is opinion-based, so I'm going to go with towers. I particularly dislike building and REALLY suck at it. I've only made one tower that held the entire load while getting the bonus, and it weighed around 37 grams. Needless to say, it didn't place, and anyone can see why

Fermi: In my opinion really easy to get the basics and do ok, but probably the hardest to master and guarantee a good score every time (Randomness in questions, not making mistakes which for me happens alot, understanding the questions correctly, knowing the weird obscure fact/unit)
Matsci: General knowledge isn't terrible (kinda broad but you get 2 sheets) but some of the more advanced biochem naming is a pain
Herp: I feel like the ID is significantly harder then Invasives making it more guessing based and harder to guarantee a high score on (well at least for me)

In my opinion, Astronomy calculations are the hardest.

Really? I think they're fairly straightforward, with all values defined very clearly. Even the ID part of astro is nowhere anywhere near what true ID events are like.
