----------------------------------- cool dude Sat Apr 29, 2006 8:51 pm math contest - fermat ----------------------------------- just wondering does anyone know if the results of the fermat math contest is posted on the internet or we have to get it from our teacher? and when r the results? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Apr 29, 2006 9:06 pm ----------------------------------- I think they post the results on http://cemc.uwaterloo.ca for teachers only. That is, you have to have a login and password for your school. ----------------------------------- codemage Mon May 01, 2006 8:33 am ----------------------------------- Usually only those who advance to the next round are notified of their score. ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon May 01, 2006 9:19 am ----------------------------------- The way it worked at Massey related to everybody's addiction to math. Mr. White-ish-gray would take your completed test and filter coffee grounds through it. The resulting liquid would then be injected intravenously into the writer's arm. After some violent seizures and around six hours of unconsciousness you'd awake knowing your score. Yes, people are that insane. The truth is that people were addicted to math. After the contest while regular folk were eating lunch or developing Evasive Maneuvers or some ungodly combination of the two mathletes would spend their time doing an unofficial marking of the bubblesheets, not only so that you could get a good idea of how well you did, but so that the very best scores could be found and the answers would be transferred to a real contest sheet (in the case that you ended up with a photocopy). (unless the fermat wasn't one of the multiple choice contests) Yep. ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Mon May 01, 2006 9:21 am ----------------------------------- I got my cayley score when it was posted on the board in the math area, maybe you guys also have a board with all the notifications of the contests and stuff? ----------------------------------- chrispminis Mon May 01, 2006 8:09 pm ----------------------------------- Usually only those who advance to the next round are notified of their score. There are next rounds?! Well anyways, i competed in the Cayley contest and scored 128. I could've done better, but I still got highest in my school. What did everyone else score? How did you get the last question? The one with the rolling semicircle. Anyways, also competed in the Galois contest, haven't recieved results yet, although I did bad because I thought I was on the last question and was taking my time... then I turned page and realized shit there was another. I like the Pascal, Cayley, Fermat series more than the Fryer, Galois, and Hypatia series because it's less subjective and its definitive. Galois is marked weird. ----------------------------------- codemage Tue May 02, 2006 7:50 am ----------------------------------- There are next rounds?! Next round. Anyone who places in the top 100 in the country (or so with tied scores) does a 2nd harder test for national placement. ----------------------------------- Clayton Tue May 02, 2006 9:22 pm ----------------------------------- i think for the rolling semicircle on the Cayley contest it was like 52 mm or something between the two points (dont quote me on that cuz it was a long time ago remember[lol a couple of months] but i think thats what it was) did you find the answer to it? how did you find it, i think i used the eqn of a circle and something else but.... ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Wed May 03, 2006 1:35 pm ----------------------------------- Usually only those who advance to the next round are notified of their score.
