Additionally, (this is kinda random) do you guys think one could email the proctors and ask them if we could see what we missed? There were some really interesting problems that even after a couple of days of researching them, I'm not quite sure what the answer should be
1st was 77 and 6th was 63. The proctors might not have the exams / answer keys anymore. The vast majority are turned into the national office who files them away for a while.

Chalker, I understand that this is a ton of work for you but I was wondering what the score distribution for experimental design was. I just want to know how many teams got scores from 118-120.

Nobody got scores that high. Max was 115 and average was 94. Interestingly, this is essentially true for both divisions!

Wow that is really surprising. Is the committee planning on making any significant changes to ExD?

Hey Chalker, could you post the average part I score from Wind Power? I know its all relative to the setup, but I was just curious what people were getting.

I don't have a copy of the Div B raw data yet, so I can't unfortunately.

I don't know as it's not in my committee, but I doubt it since ExD has pretty much been the same forever.
