The Southeast-Midwest Housewrite (also lovingly referred to as SMH) is a high school nats-level set written by members and affiliates of Lambert, Stanton College Prep, Miami Valley, University Lab, Stevenson, and Georgetown Day School for the spring of 2021.[1] The set was edited by Ethan Ashbrook, Dylan Bowman, William Groger, Aidan Leahy, Katherine Lei, Arjun Nageswaran, Govind Prabhakar, and Ethan Strombeck. Taylor Harvey provided general oversight during production. The set difficulty is similar to ILLIAC and PACE 2019.
SMH was notable for its unorthodox mirroring strategy. The set consisted of 20 packets written during the course of the 2020-21 competition year. The first 10 packets were mirrored in-house online across the country in February and March of 2021 ("SMH 1"), while the final 10 packets were mirrored in April and May of 2021 ("SMH 2"). The set garnered controversy over its use of only 10 packets for each tournament, often leading to schedules that eschewed advantaged finals due to the small number of questions.[2]
SMH was used for the 2021 ONCT. This was the only high school mirror of the set, as AQBL had bought exclusive rights for that market. The deal was bravely fought against by editor Arjun Nageswaran before he was fed to the rats for thoughtcrime.
