Re: Illinois '07-'08
I personally feel that it isn't impossible to write good industrial arts questions, but unfortunately most of them focus on specific tools (frustrating even for someone who's taken 4 years of tech ed/industrial arts courses- an example was the pliers bonus, which I 10'd) and obscure facts (how far a...

That's kind of ridiculous... it's not like performance determines how proud your fans are of you *cough* Cubs *cough*. You don't see Cubs fans whining about how awful their team is. If anything, the team should be glad that such a system was in place- at least this way they know where exactly they s...

yes, the frustum is one of them... the other two are indeed truncated prisms, one of which has parallelograms and a rectangle connecting the triangles, the other has two trapezoids and a rectangle connecting the triangles. Even though it's doubtful anyone would come up with them in a match, it's not...

For F/S tournaments I think it's reasonable to do a handout, since the most important thing is to have fun and learn the ropes. The handout doesn't prevent one team from getting points if the other does, so it's a nice way for teams to avoid being shut out (which stinks, especially in F/S where the ...

Having additional clues on the NAQT math questions sometimes helps because it allows enough time to actually do the calculation. Aegis has done this on occasion, since it gives people who know what they are doing time to do it but it also gives people who are fast but not clever a chance at the prob...
