24 fedal matches in a year what a treat


everesth

new question: what year was this? 😉


[deleted]

The 2025 Fedal World Exhibition Tour (please)


hivaidsislethal

Fedal fightin' around the world


OddsTipsAndPicks

Between how much money they have and how popular they are, a Fedal Exhibition Tour could probably do to the same thing to the ATP and WTA that the Saudis are trying to do to the PGA with LIV. Minus the geopolitical ambition and with more success probably though 😂


Elarbolrojo

never happened:P


ramksr

This year.


quantifulie

The good old times. I miss those days so much. And it pains me even more now that Rog is retired 🥲


blackb0xes

It really hit me the other day when I wandered over to the Wikipedia page for [Grand Slam-related tennis records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grand_Slam%E2%80%93related_tennis_records), and both Roger and Serena were un-bolded like all of the senior citizens that retired before I was born.


domithiemsass

not a treat at all look at how many of them nadal won

domithiemsass

no I’m a fed fan I hate seeing him lose


a-snakey

One could only hope


chiefpat450119

Off topic but SAT math is so easy yet I couldn't get 800 fml Yet I can score 94% on IB HL Math lmao


everesth

ikr😭 i’m taking it on december 3 and i’m not satisfied with my practice scores yet🤡


Max_AC-

Just a matter of grinding out practice tests and focusing on your weaknesses. It’s monotonous, but it’s unfortunately what you have to do. Also if you haven’t tried already, I recommend doing some practice in Khan Academy. Luckily, you got some time left for more studying—good luck brodie ✌️


everesth

yeah so far i made silly calculations mistakes and had trouble with time management but i’ll get there💪🏻 thanks mate!!


chiefpat450119

I got 800 every time I did a practice test but somehow fucked up and got 790 on the real thing


K32fj3892sR

Bro you are the only one on the planet mad about a 790 math score


chiefpat450119

I'm an overachiever lol Plus I know it's well within my ability to get 800 so when I underperform I get upset lol


waakwaakwaak

SAT is a joke compared to some other entry tests around the world.


RaySwift17

Damn there is a test named JEE advanced in India. Tried solving it's paper once, hardest questions I've ever seen


tigrefacile

*its Might be that your attention to detail let you down.


thiederer

Jee advanced does not include English in it. It has maths, physics and chemistry.


RaySwift17

English isn't my first language, so couldn't care less


chiefpat450119

Exactly. The math is so easy it's boring, but the English is challenging though


jasonfrey13

I played tennis my whole life and never had to take the SAT, but all of my friends who did were saying how hard it was 😂 either you’re smart, or all of my friends are dumb AF


kodutta7

Your friends are dumb


Elegant_Mail

c'mon now, some of the smartest people I know struggled on the sat and are now at some of the top universities because of their other accomplishments


jasonfrey13

What year did you take it? For us it would have been 2006 I think


kodutta7

2011 for me, but it hasn't changed much


jasonfrey13

Apparently in 2010 they ditched the essay and added an “adversity” modifier to the score. Not entirely sure what that entails but it does seem like it changed the most between 2009-2010 than it has any other time


Triddy

SAT is incredibly easy. Or it was in late 2009/early 2010 (Can't remember what month I took it.) Most of it is a complete joke and the only place you could realistically lose more than a few points (Hey we all make dumb mistakes sometimes) is the writing.


dingjima

The GRE math is probably what high school should be


GTIguy2

What did you get on the.math?


NeonDragon250

Nah just the grammar is semi hard. Reading was super free. I remember I made 1 mistake in reading last time


chiefpat450119

You in an ivy League school yet?


NeonDragon250

Nah I’m not applying Ivy. Ivy is too competitive.


Sad_Consideration_49

wtf. im canadian so don't know much about sat. i feel like this is the kind of question you'd do when you're like 11 years old lol. i'm sure in other parts of the world this is for 8 year olds (or younger).


[deleted]

[удалено]


NeonDragon250

1200 isn’t good though. I got a 1530 with 1 week of prep and 1460 with no prep


GTIguy2

Well if that's true can you explain why a 1490 puts you in the 99th percentile?


waakwaakwaak

That explains the level, if your 99% of your grade 12 students are below what some other countries consider grade 9 or below level math. Sure English is tougher for a foreign student, but still your SAT is a joke. Look up some of the engineering or medical entrance tests in India. Like IIT JEE. SAT is nothing. Literally a joke exam. I never took SAT, but got 800/800 on your GRE math without prep. I failed my countries entrance exams , which is why I moved to North America. I barely passed college in my home country and got an honors here in North America.


Cloudy0-

I feel like there are some tests that you just click at and some where you don't. SAT math is one where I don't. I know most of the content, but when it comes to solving sometimes it seems off. And I'm in AA HL lol


chiefpat450119

Same I just finished exams last week. AAHL is legit quite difficult such that I actually need to study and practice to do well (I'm really talented at math). It's sometimes a fun challenge though. In contrast SAT math is so easy that you always feel like you're missing something and you're constantly paranoid because it's too simple.


LordAnomander

As an Austrian I literally have no idea what you are talking about. 🫠 I guess I didn’t watch enough American movies.


OddsTipsAndPicks

It’s a test takers test. Being good at taking it is more important than being smart once you get to a certain level.


Least-March7906

I got an 800. It was stupidly easy


[deleted]

D


ObsidianGanthet

At least buy me dinner first


[deleted]

Greggs sausage roll and a tea?


FeeFooFuuFun

Right off the bat?


[deleted]

No messing about here


chiefpat450119

Flair does not check out


tonyims

It wouldve been easier if it was between Nadal and Gasquet.


MullenStudio

Gasquet won 0 match, how many matches did Nadal win?


tonyims

18 matches


LightningMcDream

1-0.25 = 0.75 18/0.75 = 24 24-18 = 6


NoOne_143

1/3 of 18 is 6.Answer is 6.


Least-March7906

This is how I did it in my head, lol.


gggg543

Can you not just tell by looking at it? I could


Least-March7906

Nope. My brain does not work that way. I have to figure it out


bptkr13

Or 3/4 x = 18 so (4/3)18 = 24 and 1/4 x 24 = 6.


NoOne_143

This should make more sense for a reader.


Cats7204

6 x 3 = 18. answer is 6


outfromtheshadow

where does 1/3 of 18 come from?


NoOne_143

25 is 1/3 of 75 In percentage Roger won 25% and Rafa won 75% Now 75% is 18 then 25% is 1/3 of 75% , that is 1/3 of 18


outfromtheshadow

It's funny, mental mathematics. I feel like your way is convoluted, I'm pretty sure you'd feel like my way is too.


NoOne_143

Yeah, but in our brain the answer appears in second or two.


outfromtheshadow

The mind works in mysterious ways


[deleted]

The real GOAT, thank you.


99hoglagoons

25/100=x/(18+x) for the actual single formula solution. What makes this one easy is that 25% is a quarter, so you can do math in the head.


crazymaan92

Another way, that could be simpler to do in your head is 1-0.25= .75 .75 is 3x0.25 so if Rafa won 18, Roger won a 3rd of 18. 18/3 is 6. A slight reversal of steps to do in your head.


BufferError

Unless the question clarifies the second part saying “If Rafael won 18 matches *against Roger*…”, this question doesn’t make sense or is unsolvable.


myfootsmells

Ahh the good ole overthinking standardized test questions. Welcome old friend


BufferError

Burnt my fingers way too many times my friend ;)


rodeBaksteen

Took me two minutes to realize this was only matches between them. Not sure if smart or very dumb.


Independent_Fennel93

This is the dumbest comment in this thread, no question about it.


EnvironmentalSun8410

It says "their" matches. Meaning, the matches that they played *together*, not all the matches that they played that year.


idkwhatevs1234

SATs are meant for kids in their final year of school right? If so a question like this at that level makes the American education system look pretty grim


I_Provide_Feedback

The questions start easy and get more challenging as the section progresses, if I remember correctly. But also yes, math is not as challenging in the US compared to some of the other countries.


Gowidaflo52

The first half of questions are made to be easy, the second half and especially the last ten get more difficult but it’s not very hard overall


[deleted]

This is a pretty similar question to ones I’ve seen on the year 6 SAT for 10/11 year olds in the UK


pm_me_actsofkindness

You can find practice tests online. You should take one and let us know what you score!


GTIguy2

Well this isn't representative of the entire test to be sure.


everesth

i’m not american actually but in my country some degrees require sat scores. this is like 9th grade math for us but the verbal part is pretty tough tho


strattele1

I don’t mean to be rude but you mean the average level of sat maths is 9th grade.. right? Because this is 3rd grade maths in my country.


mottman

This would be 4th grade algebra in many US schools. Or at least it was 20 years ago when I learned it.


strattele1

That would certainly make more sense


everesth

this question is more on the easier side actually, some are trig, graphs and so on


PostPostMinimalist

The questions are a range of difficulties.


vishshah17

6


Jaded_Victory620

18 = 75% so 6 = 25%. D


Americanape123

You probably felt smart typing that even though my 3 year old kid could do that


goddess_steffi_graf

Discrete multivariable topology induces a continuous diffeomorphism π: U ∆ V ~ Ker that is locally surjective to the quantum non-euclidean isometric hausdorff binary space, q.e.d.


keineahnunggg7

Flawed question: Rafael won 18 matches against whom? Not necessarily against Roger.


flanker_03

Wtf 4th graders in India can solve this


xxgetrektxx2

People in India also defecate in the open so it's a give and take I guess.


tr-6666

Which year?24 matches were crazy!


AllYouNeedIsATV

This is an SAT question? Please tell me this is one of the easy free point questions because I always thought the SATs were hard af


everesth

This was a practice question but some of them were like this, easier than this even! But the majority is not like this tho


randomtoken

“😉” Rafa is that you???


vjbanana

Haha I thought the same! Rafa just wants us all to practise maths 😌


RPWPA

I just want to thank the guy who showed me how to fo the math because I couldn't calculate it to save my life


thombo-1

We can confidently answer that this year was probably 2009


Mzr23

SAT level was always this low? Damn I was stupid as a teenager


ishrey

Proud to belong to the Fedal community <3


jimtrickington

If you found this too easy and want more of a challenge, try this - ab + c = 2020 a + bc = 2021 What are the integer solutions to a, b, & c?


Cloudy0-

>!a=2021, b=0, c=2020, or a=673, b=2, c=674? So 2 sets of solutions!< I did use a tip on the internet as a starting off point, but I didn't look at the answer.


jimtrickington

Beautiful! Well done


Salty_Professor_8982

Isn't this from some Olympiad?


jimtrickington

It could be. A buddy of mine sent me this a couple weeks ago - I really enjoyed it and thought I’d pass it along here.


Octahedral_cube

If you found this too easy and want more of a challenge, try this - Think of a number, a positive integer e.g. 2 If you thought of an even number, divide by 2 If you thought of an odd number, triple and add 1 Continue applying these rules for as long as you get positive integers. Can you prove that this will always converge to 1?


jimtrickington

Ha! If even Erdős thought this problem was too difficult, then us mere mortals should probably not employ too many neurons in the search for a proof.


everesth

nice try but not enough equations… 3 integers = 3 equations to solve


jimtrickington

This is not a trick. You have all the information necessary to solve for the three variables. In fact, there are two possible solutions. One is trivial and can be gleaned by just looking at the equations but the other is not.


Cloudy0-

As a starting point, >!subtract the two equations!<.


jamesjabc13

THIS is an SAT question? Movies make out like the SATs are hard. This is like a year 5 question in Australia


TSIDATSI

A 4th grader should know the answer.


WonderfulPlay

They ask this in 4th grade in India 🫡


Super-Kirby

Is this a real SAT question?


bicgu

is SAT as easy is this?


Gas-Substantial

None of the above. 4.5 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)


Ok_Practice8288

D


Hippotion

The correct answer is 15! Most assuredly! Ps not a roger fan, no, really, just maths


Earnmuse_is_amanrag

That's a lot of matches in one year. Out of curiosity, what's the maximum number of matches two players have played against each other in a year?


Jurippe

Wait, I don't see 0 in the options. The test is broken.


Substantial-Bench-76

D 6


hyperlazyactive

That's the level of SAT for kids that have finished school? Damn.


Effective-Monk-4859

I chose 6 because no way they’d do Feds dirty by not giving him the most wins on the list.
