Cumulative Open Olympiad Scores

Yan Qi Huan: 187/200, Gold Medal, Book Prize
Barry Tng: 176.5, Silver Medal
Sayan Mukherjee: 154, Bronze Medal

Thành Nguyễn: 139
Indronil Ghosh: 122.5
Jatin Yadav: 79
Sudarshan Ravi: 71
Kevin Fei: 63
Saptashwa Bandyopadhyay: 55

$*$ This was quite disappointing. As mentioned before, it is better to try and get 1/7 and not try and wonder if an attempt may have achieved 2/7.

In this regard, Sayan Mukherjee's submission stood out as he attempted every problem but got full-credit on only 3 out of the 6 Round 2 Problems, edging out with a Bronze medal.

Thank you to everybody who participated; we hope you enjoyed your time at the Open Olympiad! Stay updated, an announcement about the next contest is not far.

The top 3 will be e-Mailed shortly about prize details.

Easy Math Editor

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Congrats to all!

I tried only round 2 as I didn't have much time for round 1 . I didn't submit as I didn't know how to make a pdf containing math equations. I tried to make a pdf for only one problem and it took 1 hour, as I was copying images of equations and pasting in word first ,then converting to pdf. You can check the pdf here

Please introduce a system in which we can directly submit the solutions in latex, as we do here at brilliant next time. Thanks.

The rules never stated that you have to submit as a PDF. Some people even just scanned written work and e-Mailed it to us. The only requirement was that you e-Mailed us, not that it was a $\LaTeX$ PDF.

Ahaan Rungta - 7 years, 2 months ago

I don't have a scanner!

@Jatin Yadav – Then you could just type them in non- $\LaTeX$ !

Just for the note, you should use websites like ShareLaTeX for making LaTeX files next time on. :)

Congratulations!!

That is a great achievement! Congrats to all winners. Are any of them on Brilliant.org?

Shreya R - 7 years, 2 months ago

Yes. Some of them are. @jatin yadav, @Indronil Ghosh just to name a few.

Oh okkk
