q AND a
Q: Why am I reading this?
A: Really, I don't know. Maybe you should look at the Q and A section (infinite loop).
Q: What is a smilodon?
A: A smilodon was a prehistoric saber-tooth cat that lived during the Quartenary period(Ice Age happened here). It was famous for its large fangs, which were used to hunt its prey. Its prey included macrauchenia, mammoth, elk, and deer. There were two main species of smilodon, The smaller smilodon fatalis , and the large smilodon populator. California's state fossil, smilodon californicus, is the smilodon. In our case, a smilodon is a caring, honest, and dedicated person who lives by teamwork and creativity.
Q:Why should I/my child sign up for Odyssey of the Mind?
A: I know this may sound like what old people like my dad say, but OM is an educational program that allows children(such as me) to express their creativity and compete in friendly way.
Q: Is OM all about winning?
A: OM is about winning, but more importantly having fun and collaborating with other team members and teams. Since this is a world-wide competition, kids (such as myself) have the opportunity to make friend with other teams around the world.
Q: What snacks should I bring if I host a meeting?
A:Snacks! YUM! Pizza is a great snack for everyone, but should not be eaten at every meeting. If you do not bring pizza, bring cookies, fruits, or (even better) panda express!!(chow mein and orange chicken) If you don't bring that, oh, you're in for a beating! (just joking, I don't know how to beat people up, just kidding) (But Samrit does)
Q: Who is coaching?
Rishab's dad and Valmic's(me) dad are coaching long-term. Namita Aunty and Saritha Aunty are teaching spontaneous.
Q: What is spontaneous and long-term?
A: I forgot to explain what spontaneous and long-term was! Spontaneous are quick, on the draw problems while long term problems last the whole year.
Q:What is the best game of all time?
A: HOBO!!! Hobo is a game where a person(usually Rishab) chases others and tries to make them hobos. Once a hobo holds a person for 10 seconds, and nobody tags the person to release them, they become the new hobo. Hobo is usually played indoors. However, a special version of hobo, "Hobo Knight!", is played outdoors. In "Hobo Knight!" the hobo tries to hit someone with a ball to make them hobo. If the persons picks up the ball if it is on the ground, they may hit the hobo and make him lose a life. The person who threw the ball becomes the new hobo. Everyone has 3 lives. Once a person loses all three lives, they are out. You cannot become hobo on purpose. Hobo began when Rishab started talking about hobos at an OM meeting. Then he started acting like a hobo and chasing everybody. Then, the SRS came up with the game hobo. When parents asked us to play outdoors, we played "Hobo Night!". Hobo is a fun game that even adults should play. Hobo allows children to get active, experience what might happen later in life, and have fun. In truth, 157% of the world population is composed of hobos. Hobo prepares them if they get chased by a hobo, or even more likely, become one themselves.
