Default How to tell when you're the biggest geek in Minnesota and Iowa

Recently my school had a day off for conferences. Well along with most of my Physics class, we went to a Rube Goldberg competition. Needless to say, when we got there, we thought we had no chance of winning. But oh well, it should be fun right? Well this is how I became one of the biggest geeks in Minnesota and Iowa.

Edit: My teacher, (the guy with the beard and giving a thumbs up standing next to me in the first picture), wanted to give us a C on our project cause it looked crappy. Well I got something to say to him. Give me my 152% on that project!

I think they call that "having your cake and eating it too".

Wow. That is impressive. Nicely done.

Congratulations


(by the way, could you email me your paper by any chance? I'd like to read the report that went along with this project...)

Well good work. But at least you live in Minnesota!!! You get 10,000 points for that. You can only go down from Minnesota.
