Chao: Do we want to take picture of the team and stuff or something?
Basically Everyone: No one want to remember this night.
Aww... I wish there is a picture so I can remember this.
But I have a picture of the place after clean up.

I had one of the most fun time ever!
The feeling of deadline coming... the intense... it's like I'm playing extreme sports!
Moody's Mega Math Challenge, The M3 challenge, is a contest of 3-5 people teams using 14 hours to complete a mathematical modeling problem. I can't disclose the problem yet, some people have to take it tomorrow.
We used all 14 hours to work on the problem. lunch = pizza.
Intense! we had no experience in it and we still manage to get a 13 page stuff ready. In the end we become so frustrate. Everyone laughs at everything. Like have something to do with tiredness.
Some of the best quotes:
Peter: Why do you have a file called "evilplan" in your flash drive?
Chao: Don't open it! Just don't open it, it's too evil for this contest.
Chao: Corns can grow in space.
Chao: Following the current trend, questions getting harder each year. Next year, the question are going to involve giving a random person's name, we have to model a scenario to find the exact location of where he is at a certain time period exact to 1 ms.
7:01 am
Katie: I actually know these stuff. I'm glad we have this question.
around an hour later...
Katie: I'm totally NOT doing this next year.
Qing: Are you restating the questions?
Chao: No
Qing: Do it!
Chao: I learned so much from these data, some countries I never seen before, like Turkey.
Qing: Do you think they will really read all the sources? Would they really get bothered to check 200+ entries?
Chao: What are you talking about? They are mathematicians. They have no life.
Qing: Feels like we did nothing for the entire day.
Katie: We did something, not like we are talking about our hair or something.
Chao: My hair is great today, but I need better conditioner.
Peter: Now we can officially announce we talked about hair.
Peter: Corn don't just grow in space.
Chao: US should just conquerer the world, so everyone speaks the same language.
Chao: I hate math modeling, it's about using poor math technique on real life. I hate real life.
Katie: If Ms Fraser ask me about this on Monday, "how was it?"
Qing: With that smile.
Katie: "I don't even want to talk about it"
Peter: You model basically says land come from no where.
Chao: Following the assumption, this model is complete correct.
Peter: By creating wormholes in space.
Peter: We could just assume that we are always right.
Chao: I can sabotage the other team by giving them the model I come up with.
Chao: We have to prepare for the presentation since we are totally winning this.
Qing: Are we having the assumption that we are better than everyone else?
Peter: If we win, we can make up stuff.
Chao: Yeah, about that butterfly creates wormholes so the physical world can be twisted and port land from other planets. I can find it for ya. Oh, it's not there, nvm, wikipedia delete it.
Chao: What does a Chinese cat eat? They get eaten by Chinese. Hahahahahahahaha
8PM
Chao: I can feel my own protein get digested....break down into amino acids...or because it's becoming protein oxide?
Eva:
Well, it's quite nice, we did our best. I hope we get something nice :)
Next year, it's going to be great... 2 amazing people who are not in the contest this year can join.
It's going to be a STRONG team next year.
Sadly, Katie doesn't want to do it again, guess I have to find some other GPA 4.0 student.
But, I'm so happy I get so many frozen food at my house because my dad is going away for a week!
