SuperDad Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I just think that's SO cool- to be able to look back at Beast Academy in 20 years, and remember how much discussion on the boards there was about it, and say, "I placed one of the first EVER orders!". Did anyone here place the first ever BA order? Or one of the first 10, or thereabouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wapiti Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well whoever receives their books first must post about them, of course. I suppose whoever is closest geographically will get them first. Not that it's a race or anything. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We're going to be out of town next week. I gave careful consideration to having my order shipped to the hotel :).

LisaKinVA Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 HA! Wouldn't you know? My dh flew all the way to San Diego...today! He can get in his little rental and drive straight to their offices, and get them before all of you. ;) Of course, I still won't have them in my hands until Saturday.

boscopup Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My email confirmation said BA000017 or something like that... Mine isn't like that, but I ordered through the AoPS site, since I was getting the prealgebra book a the same time. So my order ID is 6 numbers.

SunnyDays Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well, my order number was 50-something... so not in the top ten. But I think we all get bonus points for purchasing on opening day!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I just placed an order, and it appears I'm supposed to be order no. 64. So if Kris ordered earlier, then the numbering system is weird. I ordered through the Beast website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Can someone please, pretty please compare the Scope&Sequence of BA with that of either Singapore, MEP or Math Mammoth? The Tables of Content are on the BA Facebook page. I will say having using the Sample Chapter they send out for feedback that you really can't know how deep and how interesting that chapter was simply by knowing it was on "Area and Perimeter."

LucyStoner Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I worked all day today so did not order till the afternoon. I was 88. But that does not include all the people who ordered from the AoPS site with their customer numbers. I did pay for priority shipping ($9 vs. $5) and am on the west coast so I am hoping these arrive soon. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
