Day 9!and pinky, with the help of the brains, is opening things up. a strong showing yesterday and again today has given them a three-point lead. believe it, stay strong, and get ready for tomorrow! posted by henry | 5:17 PM| Wire to wire?After 7 days, Pinky and the Brains still hold the lead. can they be unseated? can the grandmas and jr. mafia pull themselves up? remember -- the difference between 3rd place and last place is the difference between an 86 and a 75 on the team portion of the brainicus! sound harsh? it is, i suppose. but you control your destinies, so let's keep moving! posted by henry | 7:49 AM| Day 4!!!after day 4, Pinky and the Brains are starting to pull away, with another powerful performance today -- 2.5 of their necessary 3 questions were correct, for a 9/10 overall on the day, including full points for making me happy, persevering, and a genuinely distributed effort.
posted by henry | 6:15 PM| Go Yankess! I mean -- wait -- forget that. Go students!Believe it! Team 3 still has no name, and they still have a slim lead, so while they stink along one axis of measurement, they're awesome along another. i've got pictures of all the teams, and they'll all be up later tonight or tomorrow -- after all, these accomplishments are even more impressive when you realize how funny-looking most of these poor kids are. that's right. i said 'funny-looking'. in other news, in case your friends and families want to give these things a look, i've started posting the day's questions on the standings page, in a menu on the right. show people, because what you're doing is awesome, and they should know it. posted by henry | 6:04 PM| Day 1, Team 3 Out to Small Early LeadNo one got the problem about the McNuggets, and some people had a real problem believing that there even is an upper limit to the set of numbers you can't make. we'll discuss tomorrow. until then, get some sleep, check the scores, and eat your wheaties. posted by henry | 6:43 PM| Mega Mega Brain Challenge of 8th Graders Is On!as promised, there's a mega mega brain challenge going on, and the teams are as follows:
the contest runs from tomorrow through the 28th of may, with ten points available each day for each team. of these ten, two are awarded based on demeanor, which is closely-related to how good i feel about your team's effort that day, and the other eight are awarded based on brain and effort. the problems will be hard, and a worthwhile effort is prized over results, as usual. the running scoreboard will reside here. let the games begin! posted by henry | 4:42 PM| |
