First Ever $Mathathon \ 2020$

The Math-athon is an event hosted by me.

All contestants need to solve problems posted by me and post solutions.

The best solutions shall be selected by me. The selection process involves these parameters -

Uniqueness - $10$ points (Most Unique answer gets more points)

Latex - $10$ points (Most Latex-y answer gets more points)

No mistakes - $10$ points (Most accurate answer gets more points)

Clarity - $10$ points (Most clear and elaborate answer gets more points)

Time - $10$ points (Earliest answer gets more points)

$10$ points in total

There will be $3$ stages - Easy, Medium and Hard

The same parameters and rules follow for all $3$ stages, only the difficulty of problems changes.

If you have used a formula or website, please give the link as a note under your solution.

If you have any questions post it in the comments.

$Top \ 5$ shall go in the Hall of Fame and leaderboard scores will be shown every saturday.

Problems will be posted every weekday.

Is Everyone Fine With THat?

Guys, I've had a familial crisis and I'm sorry for leaving you hanging on the first Mathathon day, but I would like it if @Jeff Giff, @Yajat Shamji or @Hamza Anushath took charge of this contest, you can change the name rules and whatever you like. Thank you all.

Thank you everyone, my family is safe thanks to your prayers, and i hope your families are safe. The Mathathon shall go on! I have posted a message with all the updates and changes.

I have great news, my family is fine and the Mathathon 2020 shall not be cancelled, but postponed till 13th July, Monday.

Name changes are no more allowed, because it is a time-consuming process, so you're stuck with your current nicknames. Please check the Leader Board for your names and alert me/@mention me if its not there. Sometimes, messages get lost in this big pile of comments. Thank you for understanding.

We have a new judge - @Yajat Shamji, who will also participate in the contest, but I will check his solutions so that all possibilities of cheating are eliminated. 1 spot left! Come quick 3rd judge!

GO TO THE SAMPLE PROBLEM, EVERYBODY! GO TO MATHATHON SAMPLE PROBLEM!

Major Announcement - @Lorenz W. is our 3rd judge. No more judges allowed. Thank you!

I'm sorry for the vast delay everyone, but tomorrow is the day, and nothing shall stop us from starting the Mathathon 2020! Get Ready for it!

Hurrah! 🎉
