Re: 2012 NAQT SCT Region 11 at Oklahoma State

We attended three-handed. Kane Watkins had a nasty infection going. He could barely stand up, and he's too big for us to carry, so he stayed home. :sad: We went 5-6, so likely no NAQT Nationals. UCO's Math Club won't mind, they wanted me in Arkadelphia AR for a competition that same weekend. But I w...

I do, I had to work in it.

I just didn't realize NAQT Sectionals was the weekend after The '11 Blizzard.

Stretches of northeastern Oklahoma had the most snow and the coldest temperatures since the last glaciation period.

Re: Potential new program: University of Central Oklahoma

Your post reads more like an e-mail instead of a forum message. But welcome to the circuit. I'm not sure if the teams at OU, OSU, and Tulsa are still active, but if so, they would be good people to contact about getting your program off the ground. Tulsa has something, because they are hosting an O...

Potential new program: University of Central Oklahoma

Right now it is still in the early-formative stages. Having started one program before, I want to see how much better it can be done this time. The higher-up that is genuinely interested in getting this started (He bought a good buzzer-system just on the chance of putting a team together!) wants an ...

Re: Digging for Gold: A Look at an Old Packet

Ugh, a blast from the PAST. I remember practicing on that packet and wondering WTF is this? And later we wrote a packet or two later that were at what we thought was that level of obscurity before we realized that the point of question writing was not to irritate people but provide a legitimate test...
