Sorry, I don't have 12A answers.

Personally I managed to pull a 132.

Haha, you "managed". I'm laughing on the inside.

Personally, I'll be very happy with a 90 on the AMC 12. 96 would be great but knowing me, I probably got one wrong.

I pulled a 117 on AMC10. I'm still cursing myself for my stupidity on #7 (note to self: read all the options very carefully next time) and #18 (note to self: don't make it more complicated than it is), although I'm ecstatic that I got #23 right.

Edit: For questions 1-19, it looked like they could be pulled right off a MC Sprint Round, but the difficulty seems to jump waaay up with question 20.

I figured out the stupid square within a square one at the last moment. I'm slapping myself for overlooking such a simple question. Whatever.
Going to go practice for 12 next year so I can be ready.

Nats maybe, and 19 would have to be like #30, when you consider that MC doesn't give you answer choices.

I got destroyed by 21 and 22, personally.

That one was easier if you had proven Pythag before just because it was basically taking a picture of the Pythag proof and chucking in numbers.

Why?

I suppose so, although I swear I've seen stuff like that on a State Sprint Round (maybe it was just a particularly tough year of tests for MC). Ugh, I didn't even try 21 and 22, since I knew that I would likely barely make a 120. I just took my 1.5 points for leaving it blank rather than risk getting it wrong, which would drop my score further.

Why?

"Manage" implies that you barely made it above the minimum. A 132 is...awesome.

and I get called a spammer for make a legend of zelda thread

[EastStroudsburg13]

This has to do with an academic pursuit that has no other place for a thread, while there are countless video game threads.

[zyzzyva980]

Stop whining about people creating threads, quadratic. Your thread was based on a certain statement about "how awesome Ocarina of Time is" As EAST said, there are countless threads where you could have put that post, it doesn't deserve an entire thread. The purpose of general chat is not to talk about how awesome something is, it's to have insightful discussion on matters that aren't related to Science Olympiad or posts that are related to but wouldn't help someone in the event. This thread is having a discussion over a competition several members participated in. The other thread you complained about was having a nice discussion about Super Bowl ads. There was a thread for each of these last year "AMC 2010" and "Super Bowl XLIV" if I remember correctly. The threads made for this year specifically pertain to this year, as other threads would have been outdated.

In conclusion, simply stating that "Ocarina of Time is awesome you know it's true don't deny it" does not start a helpful discussion, and it does not belong as its own thread. It would have gone just as well in any of the countless video game threads.
