I was wondering what do you think 66 will get this year im in y9 this was my first IMC. In y8 i got 63 silver on the junior and in y7 i got 96 gold. Everyone sounds really serious about this challenge! This year i got 12/15 right (some stupid errors) and i only attempted one extra but got it right :-)

The IMC thresholds are as follows: Certificates Bronze 40-49 Silver 50-61 Gold 62+ Kangaroos Grey 60 Pink 66 Olympiads Cayley 81 Hamilton 89 Maclaurin 95

I looked at the grey; it looks similar to IMC difficulty

Thanks, I've just had a look too, it doesn't look too bad :-)

Do you suppose 81 will be a gold? I made some very careless mistakes.

Yes, 81 is a gold and the boundary for the Cayley Olympiad is 81!

Yay! Looks like my inability to read questions hasn't hampered me too much haha. How do all of the different Olympiads work?

I meant that if you got 81 you would get a gold medal :smile:

I got 82 and I thought I wouldn't get into the Olympiad but I did, yay! I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a 6 question paper and you need to write out full anwers and you get marked out of 10 in each question on how well your answer is written.

I got the same as you! I was so nervous that I wasn't going to get in but then phew! If you don't mind my asking, what are you aiming for (roughly)? Good luck anyhow!
