AMC

Well, I just took the AMC 12, which stands for "American Mathematics Competition."

It made my brain hurt.

Seriously, the problems were, like, impossible.

I answered fourteen questions out of twenty-five. Basically, I get 6 points for each correct answer, 1.5 points for each blank answer, and 0 points for each wrong answer. I'm guaranteed to move on to the next round (AIME, American Invitational Mathematics Examination) if I get 100 points or higher, and those who get in the top 5% also get to move on. I don't think I got 100 points.

I'm not supposed to discuss the answers until twenty-four hours after the contest, so I can't post answers or anything. All I'll say is that it was hard (obviously, it wouldn't be competitive if it were easy).

On a side note, I'm screwed for the physics test tomorrow.
