To put it simply, posting the rules on ANY website (such as http://computethis2010.wordpress.com/ and http://code.google.com/p/katahdin-dev/downloads/list ) without permission from Science Olympiad may violate their copyright and could be subject to fines of up to $150,000.00 per instance per day! Their policy is clearly stated on the bottom of the table of contents page in the rule books and also on their website.
I'm not a lawyer, but you may wish to consult one!

Re: Compute This B
Quick queston, if you are drawing or making a graph on excel, do you have to site your source from where you got the information?

Re: Compute This B
Usually the test will tell you. I know you have to give the URL for the short answers. Maybe sometimes for the actual data.

Re: Compute This B
Better safe than sorry, you don't want to lose a point or two because you didn't know to put the URL in the graph, that could cost you a few places. Besides, it doesn't take long, just Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, and you're good to go.

Re: Compute This B
Yeah, thanks, it was just diffucult at one invitational, we couldn't copy and paste because it would crash the computers, that was really confusing.

Re: Compute This B
Wow, how does a computer crash because of copying and pasting? There's definitely a problem there.

How much do you think we need to know about functions on Excel?

Re: Compute This B
From my experiences, not too much. It's mainly just inputing data and turning it into a chat. Just know how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and find the average and you should be ok.
