# 13.5 again

If you did not finish # 13.5 last night because you were too busy preparing for today's Similarity Test battle, then you are in luck! I am reassigning # 13.5 for homework.

Let's make it a little more interesting though. I will give 5 extra credit points to the first person who figures out a problem correctly. ***5 points max per student***. To get the 5 extra credit points, you must EXPLAIN your solution like I did for Leo last night for #2. This means #2 is already off the market. No explanation = no extra credit. Once a problem has been explained, the extra credit for that problem is gone. You must do a different problem. However, the problem is NOT off the market until I, msichan, says it is. So, you're best bet is to post a solution even if someone else has already posted one for that problem. He or she could be wrong or the explanation may have some holes in it.

P.S. You can't post a solution for extra credit until 3 p.m. I know Chen and Sherrille have Computer Programming last hour so the 3 pm solution lockout would keep it all fair.

***If, by 8 p.m., all the extra credit has not been handed out, then those of you who already received 5 extra credit points can go for more. However, the second extra credit problem will only be worth 2 points. Good Luck! Have fun! May the best geometrician earn extra credit tonight!
