Harvest Math Invitational

Individual Round:

• Each team will assign half of their members to each of the two sections: Discrete and Continuous.

• Both are 50-minute tests with 10 questions. No teamwork is allowed.

• The Discrete Test will have number theory and combinatorics questions.

• The Continuous Test will have algebra and geometry questions.

​

Team Round: ​

• The Team Round is a 50-minute test with 10 questions.

• At 25 minutes, each team can submit a set of answers that will give them 50% more points.

• At 50 minutes, each team submits their final answers. If they submit an answer that is wrong and different from their answer from 25 minutes, they will get 0 points for that question.

​

Round of Choices:

• Each team is presented with 5 sets of 3 problems. The sets are NOT in increasing order of difficulty; in fact, they are in a random order. At the end of the round, each team will submit any 3 of the 5 sets for grading.

• Each set will be worth less if more teams get correct answers for that set.

 

Tiebreakers:

• In the event of a tie from the Individual Rounds, students will be invited to a tiebreaker round that is run during the awards ceremony. 

• Students will have 15 minutes to solve 3 problems and can submit only one time whenever they want. Ties are broken first by the number of questions correct and then by how fast the answers were submitted.
