Excitedly, the other three agreed and began to work again.Īnd so, our fearless foursome hacked up a code–but that was not all they had to do. “What if we brute force the modeling instead of coding a formula?” George asked. However, when they sat down to eat (maybe it was the sweet scent of the orange chicken, or the satisfying crunch of the fresh broccoli), for some reason their minds were so relaxed that they discovered a way to do it! ” So they decided to order some steaming Chinese food and take a break. Let’s not take this too seriously, and not stress over it. They thought, “Oh well, let’s just do this for fun. Six hours in at 10 PM, they were still crunching numbers, yet no easy solution became clear. “ How about we start with a simple case and say the world is a 100*100 pixilated square?” “Then each pixel has a chance to be infected depending on how far away the nearest infected pixel is…” So, right after school that Friday, George’s group met in 07 and began beating their brains for a way to map out Ebola. The event began at 4 PM on Friday and continued to 12 AM Sunday. The competition challenge was to model the spread of the deadly virus Ebola, and George, Robert, Tina, and Emily, who had only knew each other for the previous two months, entered the competition with an excited, open mind. George Moe’s favorite part of IMSA was the 36 hour modeling competition which was accompanied with lots of math, computers, pizza, and sweat.
