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?

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?

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.
