Did anybody else partake in the mathematical competition today? It was pretty darn hard. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I solved (and these were the ones I turned in): the one about Alice and Bob's stone game (A2); the sequence problem showing that there were 2005 terms in a row divisible by 2006...

from look at the list of math competitions here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_Competitions#International_mathematics_competitions i don t see any competitons directed specifically toward professional mathematician. I think there are programming competitons for programmers (...

I can't believe I am going to get up at 830 later today and get ready to take the putnam exam. Test is from 10-1 and 3-6. I hope to get at least 1 question right if I am going to spend 6 hours on a test (I probably could have taken the MCAT for fun instead). I haven't studied for it or...

Assuming perfect competition in neoclassical economics: * The principle remains that any business which makes more profit than another will have an increased chance of expanding additionally by using that profit. This, in turn leads them to better chances of larger profits. So, what is to...

Has anyone heard of the IBB? I think I might participate in it seriously, and if so, I'm going to need some assistance on what to study, how to go about it, and maybe even a mentor that I could talk to ;P Basically this is a contest about neurology, and all stuff relating to the brain. A...

Does anyone know of any robotics competition that will be taking place sometime later this year or next year? I'm looking for a competition that involves college level students.

Could somebody explain this question to me? A 1/50 scale model of a pond is present. If the volume of the scale model is 4 cm^3, then the volume of the actual pond is..? the answer is 1/2 m^3. I would like to know HOW. Also.. A drawer has 6red socks and 6 white socks. If you reach in the...

Has anyone here competed in the tough math competition? How would it compare to other competitions, say IMO or USAMO? Is it greater in difficulty?

I think that student motivation is the most substantial stumbling block in education. Somehow a youth culture must be set up which has education and smarts in general at its center, rather than being peripheral and even uncool. I favor student-vs-student competition at every level, with very...

There are 100 dogs participating in a competition (two from each state) a. If two dogs are chosen at random, what is the probability they are from the same state? 100/100 x 1/99 = 1/99 b. If a collection of 10 dogs is chosen at random, what is the probability no two are from the same...

Has anyone competed in or been part of an institution that participated in this competition? My school doesn't appear to have been involved in it past 2001 which is a shame because I really would like to pit myself against people from other schools or heck just challenge myself. Anyway I came...

I learned that trees and plants compete for survival just like other species. They compete for sunlight and nutrients in the soil. If you're a tree who wants to catch some rays, the goal is to grow as big and tall as possible, and make the enemy trees eat shade. But how do they compete for...

Hello, One day I saw a botball competition, and I asked them about the robots, they said they had to built them from a starter kit that has about 100 pieces of lego and 3 motor with 4 big wheels. I was wondering, is there any way to come up with the best design. And yet, I still don't...

I try to find some national Physics Competition in English Can u give me some address ?

Whoa, it was news to me. The robots have to be completely autonomous, and travel from LA to Las Vegas in 10 hours using only GPS guidance systems and computer brain-power (no remote control!). The prize is a million bucks, but the blueprints will become public knowledge, they say. If no...
