-The path of the Administrator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Pretty much the only difference is the statistics I think. C division does Standard Deviation as well.

Yeah it's really just a little more math, although the event supervisor may choose to make their experiments involve more sophisticated tools.

This event is a big help in learning the Scientific Method, and it's really fun in general. I can't wait to participate this year :D

We were told to do standard deviation in class and I was like: "psh. I know what's up"

Because Standard Deviation is SUCH a complex operation :P

I did that last year 2, but we screwed up at state and got a disappointing 5th. Are team wasn't even called.
