The Mathlympiad was the most grueling event of the day. Teams started off with a written prelim and the top 11 teams qualified for the semi finals. The semi final questions were well balanced with puzzles, logic problems and twisted math operation questions. The finals, which took place in the afternoon were tough - with classic mind benders - the chessboard and pebbles, the pirate and the diamond, the dark bridge to be crossed within a certain amount of time, alphanumeric puzzles, the Truth tellers and liars. The children kept pace admirably and the final results were very very close.
Hauroon Jamal, Director, Al Qamar Academy, gave a talk on "Smart kids - a Routemap" which outlined dos and don'ts for handling smart children. "Its about creating a thinking child, not stuffing knowledge" he reiterated.
The event was a great success with a great clash of minds. All praise to Allah SWT.
