Out of curisoity, if you took the AMC (AMC10 or AMC12) either today or two weeks ago what was it like?

I answered 18 of the 25 questions. Best possible score for me is 126.5/150 (passing is 120 or top 1% of nation).

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, as most of you don't, you don't need to post.

Damn that's good. Especially on 12.

Wrong - 0
Right - 6

But it is much harder...

Huh, I actually thought 12 was eaiser than 10, since I took 10 last year ohmy.gif

10 last year was hella hard, easier this year methinks.

Question I missed (and still don't get --- left it blank)

12. The first number in a series is 2005. Each subsequent number is found by summing the cubes of each digit. What is the 2005th number in this series?

wtf???

Answer is 133.

2^3 + 5 ^3 = 133

1^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 = 55

5^3 + 5^3 = 205 (pattern starts now and this is sequence 3)

3 divides into 2004 evenly, meaning that the first number in the sequence is the answer. gged biggrin.gif

Failed by .05?!?!? That really sucks.

Anyways, I have been confused about all this AMC thing. Is it an American thing? And what does it stand for?
