If I remember correctly, Road Scholar allows a binder (of any size); the earth science rules tend to be rather vague on this subject (as compared to, say, Invasives and otehr Bio events, which make it pretty clear).meteorology891 wrote:Sorry to change the topic, but when the rules sheets says notes, does that mean how ever many pages we want, or a certain amount of pages?

Re: Road Scholar B
I was taking Earth Science when I had my tryouts for Road Scholar. It was the start of the year, and we had just finished topography maps in class .(convenient, huh?)Unome wrote:If I remember correctly, Road Scholar allows a binder (of any size); the earth science rules tend to be rather vague on this subject (as compared to, say, Invasives and otehr Bio events, which make it pretty clear).meteorology891 wrote:Sorry to change the topic, but when the rules sheets says notes, does that mean how ever many pages we want, or a certain amount of pages?
Realizing how underprepared I was (I only had with me a pencil, road map, and the USGS symbols), I brought my entire class Earth Science binder to the competition, and slipped the USGS booklet inside
That was fun
i can't feel my arms wtf i think i'm turning into a lamp

How would you answer a question like, "How many airports (or anything, really) are on this map?"

Re: Road Scholar B
For airports specifically, you can look at the map Index, and usually it will list all airports that appear on the map, and their codes, however these airports listed are just a fraction of the amount of actually airports on the map.snorrio wrote:How would you answer a question like, "How many airports (or anything, really) are on this map?"

Re: Road Scholar B
I'm a little late at asking this question (our regional is 2 days away), but I noticed were allowed to bring a full binder this year to competition instead of a front and back cheat sheet?

Re: Road Scholar B
I'm wondering if there is usually a specific location on a highway map that you can find that shows when the map was made. Also, does anyone know how to calculate the distance between 2 places on the highway map using the roads with the mileage number next to it?
