This is a really famously tough maths competition. Everyone entering is really good. and I had not realised how low scoring it was.
Top score you could get is 120 and best was 90, 87 then 81

idk if others had this thought, but in you 3rd slide i thought “NA” meant “not available”, but you probably meant “no answer”. again, could just be me, but it would be nice to have that spelled out since “NA” is a common acronym with a different meaning
