Scoreboard
This page shows Wisconsin Professional Surveyor Problem Corner challenges, select user-submitted solutions,
and a running count of who submitted solutions. Although many of these problems are more easily solved using computers, demonstration of mental rather than software dexterity is preferred. Software can be used for checks or repetitious calculations (eg, spreadsheet for iterative solutions) but the main calculations should be manual. And we all know the importance of math checks. You can either scan your solution and email it to me at gmahun@matcmadison.edu or jmahun@yahoo.com or snail-mail to me at 567 Prestige Court, Edgerton, WI 53534. A scoring scheme (see below) will be used to determine the annual top three solvers amongst all submitters. To see a selected submitted solution click on the underlined name; ditto for the problem statement. You need a pdf viewer installed in your browser or Acrobat Reader on your computer. Since the answer and submitters are announced in the following issue of the Wisconsin Professional Surveyor, deadline for submission will be when that issue goes to the publisher.
Scoring System This is the preliminary scoring system I'll use for 2009 problem solution submissions. We'll modify it if necessary for the 2010 round (maybe adopt a NASCAR-like Chase for the last issue?). I'll post the points by each name and show a running total.
Since the December issue of the Wisconsin Professional Surveyor comes out just before the Annual Institute and
solutions start trickling in January, the annual total will be based on the Dec-Mar-Jun-Sep issues sequence. The annual winner
will be announced in the following Dec issue.
