Pummill Math Relays 2012

'Twas a lovely day today - a day perfect for a math contest! Yes, yes - we here at dear old Conway high (a select few, at least) were chosen to attend the Pummill Math Relays. This year marks their 40th anniversary. Whoo, congrats! ;) We did... Uh, marvelous. Yes... Not really. We did terrible, actually. Buuut we looked good doing it! (see shoes in photos) The contest took place in the MSU campus. Being our curious selves, we embarked on a journey of epic proportions! (see giant bear and sewer cover in photos, also) Though we didn't place, we did enjoy ourselves. AND THE ANSWER WAS 44! NOT 80!! -_-"

 

 

 

 

Now that I'm back home, away from the smelly bus, prying eyes, and tiny phone keyboards, I can write a decent post!

 

So yeah, I did go to a math contest at a university. Which. Was. Awesomesauce.

The test itself was outrageous. Gah! I don't want to talk about it!

 

But.

 

The downtime, in which the grading of said tests took place, was... another story.

 

Yeah.

 

We had to ENTIRE campus to explore, and by golly, did we ever! (I'm pretty sure we went into a bunch of places were weren't supposed to, but whatevs)

 

We sampled foods from the different restaurants in the food court, found a little coffee shop/wifi spot, and chatted for a while. Sat outside the dorms under a big shady tree and videotaped people as they passed by. Because. We. Could. (s'okay, I deleted the videos afterwards, I'm not that creepy!) We found a darkended room with a glow-in-the-dark mini golf course. Also, a room with ping pong tables.

 

They have everything.

 

Everything.
