Crimson Wife Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 There have been a handful of problems that neither DD nor I could figure out even looking at the answer key. My DH is Mr. Quant Jock so we have him explain it to us when he gets home from work. With that particular problem, I gave DD a couple of the letters and she was able to figure out the rest based on those. Yes, that's kind of cheating but she had spent way too long trying different combinations and was about to give up in frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) They are why DS has a tutor, for CWP and IP. :lol: AoPS makes me just as confused with some of the level 20+ alcumus questions which is why DD takes the online classes.
