[Webmath] PURPLE COMET! MATH MEET

[Kane, Jonathan M]

Registration is now open for the 2008 Purple Comet! Math Meet, a free,
international, on-line, team mathematics competition for middle and high
school students.  Visit us at http://purplecomet.org where team
supervisors can register and then sign up as many teams as they want.
The contest web site has a complete list of contest rules, old contest
problems, and a poster which you can download, print, and display to
help generate interest in the meet.

 

Teams of up to six students work on 25 problem for 90 minutes (high
school) or 15 problems for 60 minutes (middle school).  The meet runs
for 96 hours from noon GMT April 14, 2008 to noon GMT April 18, so your
teams select the time that is best for them to compete.  As of April 3,
over 300 teams have registered, but we expect thousands of teams to join
the competition before it ends on April 18.
