Singapore Mathematical Olympiad

I thought I was very prepared for this competition, but it turned out to be very badly done after the two and a half hours were up. Aimed for a Silver Medal, but now I think that the best that I can attain after my mediocre and ignominious performance is just a Honourable Mention, or Bronze, but the bronze is a bit far-fetched.

Well, my maths leaves much to be desired, I guess. So far, I’m only sure that I have 5 correct out of the 11 attempted. (25 questions in total) Who knows, that might even only qualify me for a COP (Certificate of Participation).

But I know one thing: I did my best there, and taxed my brains to my best ability. What matters is that I gave my best. =)
