My team was instead dubbed “Time Without Bells” as part of a series of inscrutable team names devised by the tournament director. I was much more out of practice than I thought, and combined with a notable deficiency in math and physics, this resulted in a worse personal performance than anticipated. The stats are available here.

In case you are wondering who “Carlo’s Bitch” is, that’s Nick, who managed to net -5 points for his team over the whole day. I mean, I know I only got 95 points, but that’s a lot higher than -5.

One of the best parts of CO, however, was having another van ride with the New Trier team, known for our amazing van conversations on the way to tournaments. For instance:

Jonah: “I’ve been working since legally allowed.”
Carlo: “Yeah, but you can’t be in porn until you’re 18.”
Nick: “When can you start child porn? Oh wait…”

Several other conversations were even less appropriate.

Anyhow, I’ve learned that I need to learn a lot more organic chem and molecular biology to really have a chance at more science questions. Time to crack open that organic chem book again!

Oh right, and write questions. I should do that.
