It's probably fair to call this my favorite book (which in hindsight ig makes me a nerd bc it's a textbook, but whatever; at least it's not AoPS which sucked at explaining). It was neat to visually understand the reasons for how to get the number of factors and splitting items amongst people worked (I think I still remember).
Other thoughts:
1: Last month I saw Mr. Mac what the heck. I told him too much chili caused his clot lol.
2: It is really neat to meet (and reminisce/look up) people who did math competitions, I feel like it's part of my persona lity, like meeting someone from your own culture. I remember talking with a Buchholz kid who joined my lab (they did better than me despite being like 2 yrs younger lol). Anyway, to me I still think the people who were smart are the prodigies over current stuff. Actually, lol - reminds me of doing forthewin aops in high school lol. One person who was good at it was like yeah that stuff didn't matter, but I vehemently disagree - any competition is a taste of the world, and how you get screwed sometimes and you just gotta keep trying and find your place.
3: lastly... what do I with the piece of paper that was delivered in here... I got a kind card from a med student with $15. I guess I leave them in a folder (which actually, also has my favorite math competition stat test which I 120'd and the precalc 90 score l o l)
