Road Scholar Practice Event - Zombie Bedtime Rhymes 17

To the Students: Welcome to Road Scholar!

You will need pens, pencils, ruler, protractor, and calculator. You may use any printed resources or measuring devices you brought with you. No computers are allowed. Any device capable of communication may not be used and must be turned off.

Your names, team name, and team number must be written both on this booklet and the answer sheets. You may write in this booklet for scrap, but your final answers must be written on the answer sheets provided. All questions and answer sheets must be returned in order.

Your answers must be complete – measurements must have units; town names must include state, province, or other appropriate identification.

If you are not certain as to what you should be doing, or if a question does not make sense to you, ask the event supervisors what to do.

Make sure you read the story line in italics. Some of the questions will not make sense without the story, so they will be harder to do.

Cautions: Avoid penalty points or disqualification!!!

Do not make any marks on any maps or station questions provided to you!

Start and stop working exactly when told to do so by the event supervisor. Conversion factors: Feet to meters = feet x 0.305 Meters to feet = meters x 3.281 Miles to kilometers = miles x 1.6090 Kilometers to miles= kilometers x 0.621 MapUseNotes:IfyouareusingthehardcopyAAAmap,followthe***UseMap***directionsIfusingthemapscansofsectionsoftheAAAmap,followthe"UseMapscan"directions.UseeitherthehardcopyAAAmaporthemapscansincludedhere.Don'tmixhardandscansforanymeasurementsorcalculationsonthesamequestion.Scansarenotalwaysexactlythesamesizeashardcopy..
