PALCS+High+School+Team

This year PALCS is entering a high school level team in the high school competitive division of the Purple Comet Math Competition.

So far we have 4 people signed up -- we can enter as many teams as we would like. The only restriction is that teams have no more than 6 members -- we can have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 members.

Right now, Matt Romanauski, Nikki Fortuna, Tiffany Radle and An Le have signed up. There is plenty of room for more participants!

High school students have 90 minutes to complete 30 problems. We will gather in an adobe room, and work on the problems as a team. As we go through the practice problems, we can decide if we want to try splitting up the problems among team members, or have everyone work on the same problem at the same time. I am leaning toward dividing up the problems that we are confident about, and then brainstorming the ones that are more challenging.

The contest takes place from April 12 till April 18. Once we open the test, we have to complete it in the time allotted. We can submit answers more than once, but only the last submission counts.

We will practice in an adobe room; please let me know what time is convenient.

There is a page with links to old tests and solutions. Please look them over so you can see what the judges are expecting.
