For #32, this is a fibi- like sequence of 9 terms.T find this, multiply the 6th term by 11 and subtract the difference between the first 2 numbers.
#40 is a guesstimation of 10^x=800,which I would say is about 2.9. Besides memorization/good estimation ability, there is no really easy, perfect way to go about this, unless I am unaware of a better method.
On #51, there are 4 aces and 48 other cards, so 4/48 which simplifies to 1/12.
#69 is once again the sum of the first 9 terms of a fibonacci-like sequence.
By the way,have you taken district, yet?If so, how did you do?

can pokemonmaster please clarify your answer for number 32? And unfortunately, I did not compete in district...

You did not go to District?!?!?! That's the entire point of UIL! I know you were good enough to make the team, especially since you said you are the "only one" at your school! Why did you not?

by **smeag** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 6:56 pm

ah, once again my brother adulterates my reputation on this forum. I rarely post on this forum while he does...

by **PokémonMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 6:59 pm

Ok, so for # 32, you have to find the sum of a fibonacci-like sequence.If there are 9 terms(t1,t2, etc.), take t6 times 11 and subtract from it the first term. If there are ten terms, just take t7 times 11. If there are eleven terms, take t8 plus (t2 - t1).

In addition, to answer your question, nsguy1350, he didn't go to district because he is not in highschool!

of course he can be impatient and rash at times, but he is quite determined at getting things done.

by **PokémonMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:09 pm

You said you were District 31-5A, right? Where do you go to school so I can see your result?

by **nsguy1350** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:13 pm

District 9 5A, Region 2, is where I'm at.

by **PokémonMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:15 pm

I actually meant smeag, but okay. :D

by **PokémonMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:16 pm

A 296??? Dang! You beat me by 72 points!

by **nsguy1350** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:18 pm

That was a horrible test, until I got the results, I thought I was like at a 240 or something. What is your school/District/Region/conference/name?

by **PokémonMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:21 pm

Ehh... Darius (a.k.a that annoying freshman from the beginning of the year). District 32-4A, 224 on Number Sense,the only event I am competing in.

Kevin Pallapati? He is a senior, and smeag is a freshman, so that isn't him.

by **nsguy1350** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:29 pm

by **PokémonMaster** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:31 pm

To my team, yes, I was very annoying. If you'll remember, I made a very insulting post to them.

by **nsguy1350** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:38 pm

I basically gave a person by person list of everyone on my team and why they #. Except they are neither bad, nor have they ever been bad. My team is pretty amazing,actually. I was in a bad mood, and my attitude as a whole has never been great. It was a bad judgement call.
