Do you know mathematical competition Kangaroo?

The European Kangaroo Foundation is an international organisation based in Paris which organises the Europe-wide European Kangaroo. The name sounds strange, but recognises the fact that the European organisation was inspired by the Australian Mathematics Trust. Each year two and a half million school pupils across Europe (and beyond) take part at various levels. So when you sit the Kangaroo you are part of a huge European community of maths students. The UKMT has been involved in Kangaroo activities for several years and uses the hour-long multiple-choice papers (in English) as an extension to the Intermediate Challenge.

For those who do exceptionally well in the Intermediate Challenge and who would benefit from stretching themselves further, there is the two-hour Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad, which takes place on the same day as the Kangaroo. It consists of six problems to which students are asked to provide full written solutions, providing a chance to look a little deeper into mathematical problems and to explore mathematical proofs. The paper is written and marked by the UKMT.
