Ether Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yuck!!! You have my sympathies. I have an English paper due next Thursday, but it's only 5-7 pages. Plus, I'm writing it over The Hobbit which is not a hard book to talk about. It's my big econometrics paper (now done, like I said earlier) that was weighing on my mind. Yeah...that's why I need a quack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yeah...that's why I need a quack... Well, Dr. Fayt Zelpher, Ph.Quack is open for business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ether Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well, Dr. Fayt Zelpher, Ph.Quack is open for business. Okay...well,to start out,I've been under a lot of stress lately. I lost my employment a little while back due to an injury,and I am low on funds necessary for my graduation.At the same time as I need to try to get everything settled to graduate,I need to spend obscene chunks of my already dwindling time looking for work. Because of this,my friends have begun to think I am giving them the cold shoulder,and aren't speaking to me. Of course,then there is the school work,which only compounds the problem further...

Well, Dr. Zelpher, Quack believes that you should explain the situation to your friends. If they understand and try to help you out, then all is solved. If they continue to give you the cold shoulder, you need to realize something. You will be graduating in a month or so and will probably never see them again. Enjoy the rest of your time in high school,, but don't jeopardize your future for the sake of people that you may never see or hear from once you head off to college.

BK-201 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 That's pretty much incarnate. Good job to you and your team. The Finals was epic. 6 questions left (60 points) and we were down 40 after a biased category round where they got to go first because they were visiting and it was Greek Gods. Which they somehow failed and got 9/10 missing Hermes(lol). At that point we were actually worried we might lose, but then we got all 6 question, propelling ourselves to victory.

Well, it beats the blowout victories that I'm used to. Last year, I think I (meaning we, I suppose) won the final round by 70. We won the first round by 200 points (20 questions) though...

We won the first round by 200 points (20 questions) though... We had less points available this time. 1st Round -Warm Up 12 questions x 10 points = 120 points 2nd Round -Category 30 questions x 5 points = 150 points 3rd Round- Lightning 15 questions x 10 points = 150 points 420 Total So yeah... Last time we beat every match by a margin of 150+ and in practice I snagged 225 points alone before, with two people distracting me by not answering and banging tables.

Fayt Zelpher Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 High school tournaments go like this in Oklahoma: Round 1 - 20 tossups. Round 2 - Lightning Round (10 related questions, 60 seconds). Round 3 - 20 more tossups. Round 4 - Another Lightning Round. All questions are worth 10 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our previous set up, Academic Challenge: -Round 1, 10 Toss ups, 100 points -Category, 30 Questions available, 10 for losing, 10 for winning after. 10 discarded. 200 points -Alphabet, 10 Question written both teams can get the same question, 100 Points. -Stump the Expert/Lightning, 10 Questions, 20 points each, 200 Points. 600 points. I think it was a bit different as we had multiple set ups, but here were the previous rounds I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I... ...I have no ... no idea what the hell you guys are talking about. Apart from, like, the vaguest terms. Did the Civil War questions I threw at you prove relevant at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Unfortunately no. A lot more basic. I was awesome at the tournament. I think between 2nd and 3rd best of all school participating, about 90 people also. The only people possibly better is the only 9th grader and an asian 8th grader.

Kriemhild Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I really missed a lot here, haven't I? Sorry everyone, our keyboard stopped working for some reason and all of our accounts are password-protected so we couldn't do anything. We bought two new keyboards and none of those worked either so there must be something wrong with the computer. So I came to this cyber cafe, hoping to find Rhythm!, only to find out that she's not online yet. I'll be here for like, the next 1.5 hours and after that, I'll be gone. Also, I might go to my dad's office tomorrow or the day after that, just to see Rhythm! if she's online. After that, you guys probably won't be able to see me for a long time. Even if our computer gets fixed, it might be several weeks later and by then, I'll have to prepare for my A2 exams on May/June. After that, I should be free. I'm sorry, Rhythm!, this time I have truly failed you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hey Proto. Haven't heard from you in a good while. I wish that you could stay and chat, but it doesn't look like that'll be the case.

Kriemhild Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 These guys charge me 45 bucks to use it for two hours and now I see that Rhythm! isn't even on yet. And tomorrow, she'll have school. So, anything big that I missed in the last few days? Other than VincentinaMSA returning, which I already noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
