Andreew Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Hello! I'm in a competition, in which on saturday, I'll have to answer a few questions related to biochemistry and genetics. I would like to ask help from a biochemist to answer these questions.
hypervalent_iodine Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 It might be more helpful for you if you could possibly post the questions that you have now, rather than waiting for someone to respond.
Andreew Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I don't have the questions right now, I'll get them on sunday morning, and I'll have to send the answers back on sunday until midnight. I'm just curious if somebody could help me on sunday. Edited October 9, 2013 by Andreew

Andreew Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Sounds a little bit cheaty? No, it doesn't, because according to the competition's rules, the competitors may use any kind of help, e.g. teachers, internet, forums, books etc.

Who can make most efficient use of resources? Seems a bit pointless. Edited October 10, 2013 by Tridimity
Andreew Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Then what's the point of the competition? Who can make most efficient use of resources? Seems a bit pointless. We are in high school, and the competition is about criminal investigation. A 10th, or an 11th grader should know everything about criminal investigation, and should answer every single question without asking, seems legit... In the first two rounds we are just preparing theoretically for the third round, where we have to go in there and prove ourselves - practically, like investigating a made up crime - without any help, and that is the point of the whole competition. But how could we learn, if we can not solve the problems, because some people will not help us. Edited October 10, 2013 by Andreew
hypervalent_iodine Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Well, if you have any trouble during it with how to answer the questions, I think we can manage that. However, we won't answer them for you.
