(Reminder, Public Library late fees start tomorrow! Just FYI)
More details from the guys who went to kickoff. Discussed the equations referenced in the game rules. The scoring system seems to be a base four, meaning four water is equivalent to one catalyst, four catalysts equals one energy, four energies equals one carbon dioxide, four CO2's = 1 ethylene, 4 ethylenes = 1 benzene, 4 benzenes = 1 naphtha, 4 naphthas = 1 isooctane (making one isooctane equal to 512 waters). Theory: 2 CO2 + 3 ethylene per round would give us 1040 points, a base goal to shoot for, according to Matthew.
Then everyone broke off into subgroups, motor testing, computer work, and general conversation. Not a terribly large amount we can do as yet.
UPDATE: The brain bench test download was successful, Blake's laptop works!
So that's about all you missed.
This is Mass Media, AKA Steven, signing off.
