How did everyone find the Senior Maths Challenge (UKMT)? (07/11/2013)

Nobody is actually posting answers. Proper discussion will start when they post the answers on the website.

Are we allowed to discuss the paper .. cause I got the paper with me..

Nope, not until the answers are posted (tomorrow night or Saturday morning)

ohh okay .. why the heck does the school let the students keep the paper then.

I answered 15. Also, my first name didn't fit into the number of boxes assigned for it.

The same thing happened in my college as well. A girl couldn't put in her first name in the boxes provided, and was told by the invigilators to put the maximum number of letters of her first name possible in the boxes. People started laughing in the examination hall when this happened. Did you put in your nickname in the boxes then?

It doesn't really matter... It's your school that write your name on the certificate so as long as they know what your full name is you'll be alright

True enough! I suppose it was the stern instructions to write your full name that had me erring over it.

I answered 12 and got 10 of them right (after comparing my answers with my friends). Last year, I received the certificate in around April/May time. Do you think that the grade boundaries will be higher this year than the last year?

I found it easy actually. This is my first year doing it (I'm in year 10) and I managed to answer 19 questions. I am sure I have got them all right because I checked my answers with a person in lower sixth who is the 14th in the country at maths! He got full marks last year so fairly confident!!
