Also, the water was 70c 70ml 35min.

Anyone know the room temperature at nats? Because these final temperatures seem awfully low... (was the room temperature like 15 C or something)

If I remember correctly, they told my time block the room temperature was 22C but our thermometer found it to be 24C.

Same here.

Do you guys think that there will be a rule change for thermo next year that is major?

They might do something with ice bonus or change the specs a bit like intervals or design sepcs.

The IWB is well balanced as it stands. Change the specs? If you keep the 250 ml beaker, there's not much you can reasonably do. Making the box bigger is boring, and making it smaller means there's nothing left. I suppose you could change the beaker and water volumes - use a 500ml beaker or a 100ml beaker, with a bigger or smaller box.

But I think they'll leave it alone.

There's not much you can do with the run time - it's got to fit in the event slot. Change the temps? Unlikely - hotter is hard, and colder is boring.

Yes;)

I wonder if that means the build portion...

You could probably quite reasonably convert Thermo from a binder event to a two-sheets-of-paper event, and lose the trivia questions.

Oof. That would be bad for us as we literally have a 5-inch thermo binder...

What do you put in five inches besides history
