Hans Woyda Maths Competition

So basically there's this maths competition in which 64 schools (from London and the surrounding area) compete against each other first in a round-robin and then in a knockout round. I did it in 2023 and I'm doing it now but there's next to no information available about it online, except random schools bragging about winning it, so I was wondering if any of you guys are competing or have competed in it, because I have a few questions.

1.

he was a really smart mathematician

2.

yh a trophy but u dont really get it ur school gets it

3.

honestly, i joined in yr8 and a lot of the questions required gcse content i didnt know, but once ur in gcse year, they only give you questions that you should have covered at school- i.e one question might include a really hard probability topic, but you would have covered the basics in lesson so u just have to work from there

4.

yh and no, it just becomes more intense and ur opponents try way harder

5.

i did it in yr 9 and 10

6.
