By the way I think I can conclude that ri indeed value the participants who got into the second round of ripmwc. My student received a letter from ri that sounds like trying to get him to apply to ri.

LOL....LOL....of course lah because they have the name list and address. They may do the same if they have the address of the SMOPS platinum name list and address as well....heard that HCI is doing the same for their platinum winners as well .......

We have all the gurus on MO training here....:)


May I seek your kind advice, although the question might have already been discussed in some other threads:

1. Is Maths Hub the most commonly MO school most kids go to, assuming that the kid is not good enough to be selected for training by the school?

2. Age wise, P4 is a suitable age to start, too early might deter the kid for interest in Maths if he/she does not have enough aptitude for the subject?

I browsed through some MO books at Popular bookshop. Think even for the most elementary (meant for 7-8 yrs old) questions I also a bit of time to solve them :?:

Thanks!

You are fast - it's really just out from oven.

Does that mean those invited for special round will have some award? So long a list of invitees - any idea how many gold, silver or bronze award given?

Ya, the list is very long. That's why I'm wondering 400 students invited for special round translate to ??? Gold, Silver or Bronze (?)??? Or all 400 are Gold and Silver??? Considering yearly maybe about 4000+ students join the competition?

Number seems a lot, but come to think about it, it is only about 10% of total yearly student population that join the competition.
