The Competition Begins

The next day, under the witness of the international organizing committee, this year's Mathematical Olympiad officially began.

As this competition was a national competition, the checks in all aspects were especially strict. Not only did the students who entered the venue had to have their personal information checked strictly, but even the teachers of the various universities who entered as supervisors had to show relevant certificates before they were allowed to enter.

Just as the news that was revealed previously, the competition this time was composed of two parts. The first part was a personal competition, and the second part was teaming up to answer the questions. After removing the highest and lowest marks of the two parts, the total score was divided by the number of judges in order to obtain the final score.
