A note about the interface: All of the answers for this beta are positive integers. Therefore, there is no need to use the preview button. That is there so that if a problem has a more complicated answer, you can check to make sure that the system is parsing it correctly, and that the fact that your answer is incorrect is a result of your answer being wrong, rather than that it is formatted incorrectly.
I ask the following from you if you decide to participate in the beta:
- Use your real name and grade and keep IDs appropriate. I will delete accounts that violate either one of these conditions.
- Report any bugs with the system to me! These include broken links, bad formatting, anything that you think could be improved. This also includes feature requests!
- Do not look up the problems or cheat on them in any other way. Because this is just a beta, I did not use original problems. However, these are still good practice problems and I think that much of the TJ math team can benefit from actually doing them.
- Tell your friends! I want to get as many people as possible into the POTW system and to do that I need your help. However, make sure that they don't leave between now and the start of the real POTW.
You know, maybe you shouldn't get all of them from one source, since there may be people in the world who have taken it recently. And I might happen to be staying at the house of one of those people.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the last 3 problems don't show up usually for me unless I wait like a few extra minutes.
ReplyDeleteDarn, it is probably okay to get all of them from one source for now since this is just a beta.
ReplyDeleteAlso, perhaps the plain-text "POTW Beta" cell in the Scoreboard table should be replaced with a hyperlink to the problem page.
ReplyDeletehmm what was the source for these?

ReplyDeleteSlow loading times are a result of TJ's machine room being (apparently) stupidly hot, even in the middle of winter. There's nothing I can do about that. Sorry!
