“The Maths Olympiad was a great way to test out our skills and quick thinking on different questions, with our friends. We worked rapidly to get as many questions right as possible. It was an awesome experience to have to see what we could do under a time limit with our teams. There was an air of healthy competitiveness and I’m glad that I was able to participate this year.”

“3 2 1 go! Everyone rushed to the question table to get questions. In my group one person ran at a time. Once someone got a question all of us looked at it and tried solving it, we wrote down the answer and went to the next question. We made way down from the 3 point questions to the 1 point questions, soon we only had one question left. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 we slapped down the last question just before it was over. Everyone was patiently waiting for the result, and when we heard that we won, we were ecstatic!”
