maldoror122 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 (I think this should be the right spot for this thread, as I don't think it belongs in neopets help or debate.) I've been trying to get the lenny conundrum av for a while, and today I saw it was a projectile/free falling physics question. I found the answer pretty fast (and even though I know I can't share it, a simple googling of something like physics projectile problem will probably uncover an identical question with different numbers :yes: so you should probably try it. It's pretty much a typical plug-in the numbers type question). I was so excited! I put in my answer and thought, just wait a couple of days for the avatar or the trophy. And then after I clicked ok, I realized they asked for the answer in cms and I put in the answer in meters :crying: I feel so stupid. I am 99% sure my answer was correct (well, just the wrong unit). I am super frustrated right now, and when I tried to explain this to someone who doesn't play neopets, all I got was o_O huh? Has someone else made this kind of foolish errors before? :sad02: It's pretty much the kind of errors I would do in my science exams back in the day :grrr: except back then you'd only lose like half a point out of 5 or something for something minor like this, and here this mistake can mean the difference between getting the avatar/trophy and getting zilch. But let this be a lesson. :graduated: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah B. Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Aww, don't feel too bad over it. I used to do the same thing on my physics exams back in the day :laughingsmiley: it happens to the best of us. All you can do is try to be more careful next time ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiranui_xiii Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I did the exact same thing! I submitted the answer in meters without thinking, and two seconds later, I was like, "Nooooooo!!" Ironically, in my science classes, I always put the answer in the right units. But put me on Neopets, and look what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 A couple weeks ago there was an elaborate sequencing one involving using the Fibonacci sequence and what not and I thought I had done all my math right but when the answer came out I was 1 number off :sad01_anim: I'm still pretty sure they were wrong and not me but I was too lazy to figure it out/prove it. But I hope I got this week's right since I did submit the right units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masaryk Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I make silly errors fairly often when I enter the Lenny Conundrum. My math answers often end up being off by 1. Don't feel bad. It happens to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 ...I've never taken physics before o3o I can't ever do the math problems on the conundrum...so I try doing all the others like the one with who will win the Staff Tourny for the AC5, funny how I was one of the first 250 just cause I was a Mystery Island fanatic :P At least you knew what you were doing! Good luck on the next one! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro- Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Wow. That was pretty easy (don't feel bad if you can't get it - I'm an engineering student - we do lots of physics). I doubt I'm in the first 250 though. Grr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldoror122 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 A couple weeks ago there was an elaborate sequencing one involving using the Fibonacci sequence and what not and I thought I had done all my math right but when the answer came out I was 1 number off :sad01_anim: I'm still pretty sure they were wrong and not me but I was too lazy to figure it out/prove it. But I hope I got this week's right since I did submit the right units. Wow, that really sucks. I don't understand why they don't always the reveal the reasoning behind each answer. I notice for some past rounds, there is an explanation along with the answer, and in many other cases, only the answer. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathleen_a_b Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I absolutely loved physics; I just took it last year in high school. so I was really excited to see this lenny conundrum problem, and luckily I noticed the units, so I might just get it right. probably not first 250, though.

Good luck on the next one! =D I misread the staff tourney one and guessed for the actual cup. :S Otherwise, I would have guess for Mystery Island as well!

Nelly_Bulgaria Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 aw...don`t feel bad, it may happen to everyone :) I`m trying to get the avvie, too, but i`m just not that good at Lenny Conundrum :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I haven't made mistakes like that with the lenny conundrums but I've definitely done it before in various classes. I totally understand your frustration. Good luck next time! I'm sure you'll get the avatar/trophy soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
