Re: Specific Question Discussion
Hi Avinash! You raise some really good points about the proton question, but I think the first line is factually accurate as written. I don't believe nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides occurs with proton species as it is a separate mechanism from acid catalyzed ring opening You are correct that I...

Re: 2020 ACF Regionals: Specific Questions and Errata
The science in this set was my favorite of the regionals I've played ('18, '19, '20). To add to the discussion about bait, my one gripe is with the "protein" question in packet E (Central Florida A et. al.) I buzzed and answered "protease" when I heard "MEROPS" (I did n...

To be fair, my answer had two discrepancies from the given answer line, both the lack of the "ia" at the end and the "w" sound so I think that's what gave my moderator pause (my answer was not actually ruled wrong during the match, I just had to explain the "w" and &quo...

Re: 2018 Sun God Invitational Specific Question Request and Discussion
Things I liked: The PCR and western blot questions (though I realize it unfairly advantages people who have lab experience) The bio and chem TUs were generally quite straightforward, i.e. easy to parse on the spot and I thought the answerlines were fine.
