qbreader math test to determine your acalc grade


ANSWER: triangular numbers

bonus pending because despite me explicitly saying math questions only they keep giving me questions that aren’t math

the enshittification of qbreader

here’s the bonus. shockingly time for a chicago open!

and the chemistry tossup i got with that bonus, just to test you for ochem

ANSWER: cyclic [or ring -shaped; accept macrocyclic or polycyclic ; accept catenane s or interlock ed until “named for” is read; accept macro cyclic effect]

I GUESSED IT ON THE FIRST SENTENCE I GUESSED IT

…because I only know so many types of numbers and you’ve mentioned this particular kind a few times. STILL I GUESSED IT

I got the first one not the other two

how often have i mentioned triangular numbers

the second part is like. semester 1 of abstract algebra i’m shocked it’s a medium at CO

math medium parts at 2024 CO:
monoid (no it does not clue that a monad is a type of this thing in the category of endofunctors. the bonus is about category theory though, but the easiest clue is about its status as an algebraic structure of which there are like 5 generalizations of groups and i can never remember which is which)

empirical (stat is mickey mouse math but there isn’t enough math in this set. 0% conversion omegalul. the hard part (glivenko-cantelli theorem) somehow got 8%.)

Mathieu groups (significantly harder abstract algebra thing. one of the families of sporadic simple groups, you might learn them in semester 2 of an abstract algebra course if you’re lucky but even then only as a passing mention)

Eduard Čech (of Stone-Cech compactification fame, though the fact that they don’t namedrop Stone means you’re not getting it that easily unless you make the connection. worth a shot, not sure how many other people name a compactification with an american. either way, you’re probably not learning about this in first semester topology)

algebraic varieties (the underpinning of algebraic geometry! …which you’re extremely unlikely to even begin to cover as an undergrad)

Riemann mapping theorem (comp lex a nalysi surface. bonus points for cluing the fact that it’s generally false in more than one dimension. not sure if you learn about this in first semester complex analysis but my guess would be no)

wavelet (apparently their transforms have a lot of applications? dawg idk)

i’m pretty sure i convert 0 of these besides maybe cech if i ball out and mayyyyybe monoid

i forgot about this interaction tbh

usually when hs level sets clue “these numbers” it’s evens or odds or primes or perfect squares or some shit like that. i wasn’t entirely ready for triangular numbers
