Gleemax UGT Final 50?

[Felix]

I didn't make the cut?! I'm shocked! I was sure my coin flipping would win the day.

The next time you take the SATs, try the rubric that some guy two rows behind of me was doing, muttering and filling: "A, C, D, C, A, C, D, C, A, C, D, C ..."

Hellhound made the list.

I'd be interested in seeing how many EN Worlder's made the finals, myself.

 

[Doug Sundseth]

Yeah, I made it too. I'm waffling about whether to make a video. To do it right would be a pain in the rear, and there isn't much reason to do it if you're not planning to do it right. If there were fewer people, I'd have a greater incentive; if there were more people, I'd blow it off without thinking much about it.

50 is right at the border.

Well, I'd encourage you to make the video. Think about the barrier of entry for people to take the UGT exam. Now, imagine how likely it is that a random person who took the test is going to be willing to make a video. What percentage would you guess are either not really interested in the prize or just don't want to be bothered by making a video?

I really think that anyone who makes a decent video will be in the running, and anyone who makes a really good video will have a *extremely* good chance of moving onto the next round.

Besides, how cool would it be to have someone from EN make the finals? =)

This is pretty much my thinking, though I thought it a bit too cynical to say out loud. If 15 of the 50 move on to the next round, once you take out those who lack the time, inclination, or equipment to make a video, your chances start to look pretty good.

There's no "B"s in there; of course you're going to fail. The correct formula is "ABACADABA".

I'm not saying you definitely missed the joke, but it does look like it...

[joke explanation]There are no Bs in there because the person is writing out AC/DC over and over... hence the "We Salute You" reference to the AC/DC album For Those About to Rock."[/joke explanation]

When I sat down to start taking the test I realized I had one of two ways to go.

1. Use my Google-Fu to try to get a perfect.
2. Just do my best.

I ultimately chose 2 because I just wanted to see how I would do, and apparently you don't get a score. I didn't see a score, anyway, and none was mailed to me. I can rule out a perfect, I guess.

I was going to cheat. I was going to have my girlfriend take the test. She was going to screen capture the questions, then I would have time to look up the answers when i take the test myself.

Does anyone know if this evil plot would have worked? I decided not to do it because I don't think i could have gotten through the other stages, and i would have gone to gen con with my girlfriend and that would have been no fun.
