pilowsky Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 A surprisingly large number of games that aren't Bridge fly under the radar.You'll all be delighted to know that this year is (drum roll) Luke.With a score of 1-0 in 5 rounds.His surname is shrouded in mystery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBengtsson Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 The math is like something out of "Gravity's Rainbow" by Thomas Pynchon. A friend said I needed to read this book: no, I did not lol. I think you are either good with math, or you do not have a clue. I am good with math but it would probably take me 4 hours, or should that be days(?) to solve, not 4 minutes, though I admit I can not remember most of the stuff learned in my youth :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepossum Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 1-0 out of 5 sounds tough but challenging :)I'm extremely rusty on anything that could possibly help I asked my new best friend but may have blown it up with Problem 1He/she/they/it seemed supremely confident, and demonstrated prowess with an initial simple problem My suspicion, despite initial confidence is that he/she/they/it selected the wrong approach I was impressed by initial viewing of the video :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenberg Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Brian and Luke were both in the top five for the 2022 Putnam. Putnam does not list the order scores for the top five, an idea that I like a lot. I think Brian was 18 when he did this. https://newsroom.maa.org/229389-83rd-putnam-competition-announces-top-students-in-undergraduate-mathematics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenberg Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Quite a group. I think it is safe to say that all six are of above-average intelligence. It's wonderful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
