Going to a math magnet is not what I'd call neglecting your math skills. Maybe you're not as dedicated as other people from TJ, but anyone who goes there has to have fairly 1337 m47h skillz.

You do realise that the tests are not the same, right? (i.e. AMC 12 is not the same as AMC 8)

Never took the other ones (other than grade 12). We only took the canadian ones. I think each year's was named after a different mathematician. Euler, Fermat etc.

When you finally get to university take the Putnam. The one year I bothered they didn't ship our exams out on time to be graded.

I placed #3 in Canada in the physics university prize exam that year though.

Made off with a few hundred bucks from that...

I'm thinking of getting back into the math team this year, though. Should be fun. w00t w00t

Who do you compete with? The only public school comparable to TJ in math around here is Blair.


My school is pwning, as usual, in m47h 734m. We compete with Sidwell, which is a good math school, and then a bunch of other private schools, which suck. There's 6 math meets a year, and despite only going to 5 of them, my cumulative score was the highest in the league.

Take the number 2004^100. Let S be the set of positive integer divisors of this number. What size is the largest possible subset T of S such that no element of T divides evenly into any other element of T?

Come on, folks.

You've got about 20 minutes to solve that one if you want to be decently placed.

It took me about 2.5 but I've got the benefit of a math degree on you folks...

No, just because I'm wondering what level it's at.


You do have roughly 8 years on sky and 8.5 on me, IIRC.

BTW, what sort of degree and what college?


I'm having so much fun threadjacking.

Hint: the prime factorisation of 2004^100 is:

I'm aware of that. I was going to let kuciwalker go for it, because he is better than me at math I (or at least better educated.)

I have never solved a problem like this one, so I'd have to figure out a method on my own.
