Dude, I have a degree from UPenn...no problem for me.

he was my fellow vevmo-challenge team-mate, I can vouch for him in this one... kvm was our little math wizard ;)
[QUOTE=Camille;368897]Imagine if this is what the final was like on Rivals 2? And imagine if Mike Mike won the whole thing just because he could do these mental games faster than everyone else? That would have been hilarious.[/QUOTE]
Without a doubt, Mike Mike and Roylee winning would have been the greatest achievement in Challenge history!
Yayz for eating weird ****?!

N
ow that would be epic.
I don't know...I got a 5 on my AP Calc exam but that was about 6 years ago...I wouldn't be able to quickly come up with the square root of a 5 figure number off the top of my head unless it was one of the common squares.

I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit

Haha maybe. I didn't see the numbers they were using so it could've been more intuitive than I'm guessing it was.

I agree. I'm great at math, always have been. It's simple mathematics, yes. But you're in the heat, you're pressured by another team, there's a lot of money on the line, it's ridiculous to say you could solve that in those conditions without actually experiencing it,
It's like shooting a free throw in an empty gym and shooting a game winning free throw against your rival team in a packed arena. Ridiculous.

Emily got it. If you know math you just need to take a second to calm down and you'll be fine.

Don't agree with the comparison at all.
Same deal with all the spelling challenges they've had where people misspell common words.
When you're pressured by so many things you mess up and can't think straight.
It's tougher than you probably think.
