This math contest is 75 minutes in length, consisting of four problems ranging from easy to difficult. The four problems also require a full written solution. The contest is marked out of a total of 40.
AWARDS AND COMPETITION
Every student who writes the Fryer, Galois or Hypatia Contest will receive a Certificate of Participation.
The top 25% of the competitors in each of the three Contests are divided into three categories: Gold
Standard, Silver Standard and Bronze Standard, in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, and receive Gold, Silver and Bronze
Certificates accordingly.
MATHEMATICAL CONTENT
The Contest Committee ensures that most of the problems require only concepts found in the curriculum
common to all provinces. Rather than testing content, the problems test logical thinking and mathematical
problem solving.
