How did you do on the AMC 10/12B?

I got a 139.5, because I made a dumby mistake on #24 (disregarded the reflections part), but I'm still pretty satisfied with my score.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

I got a 133.5 because I forgot to convert to yards on number 8.

I got a 114 on the AMC 10B because I derped and thought that $8>10,$

$\frac{30}{90}=\frac{1}{6},$ and that $1002+1003=1006.$

Maybe I should sleep more than 3 hours before the AMC.

Wait... when do you get your scores back?

They've posted answers on the MAA website

@Sam Thompson – How do I get there?

141, I answered the first 22 questions, question 24, and got them all correct.

236+21.5=138+3=141
