Wish meh luck xD

[Lozzoling]

[Jõnathan]

lol the 20 onwards were the only bit that made this more of a test :P

[Scorpio]

OMG thats the one we got 20minutes for, i only got to 15 :'[ Naff teacher >:l Stupid Horatio the Hamster

[Bevvie]

I did that Uk Maths Challenge in year 8.
It was okie but i guessed most of them so i got most of them wrong.:D
I didnt even get a bronze aswell lol. :$

[OMGitsaROSS]

I got a gold XD

I was like. Wootz0r!

[7e]

'Horatio the hamster likes to eat clock faces' that made me laugh randomly, everyone stared at me :'(. Yeah i gave up half way through the back of the yellow sheet.

[Lozzoling]

we had 50 mins, i only did 3 out of the back page

its better not answering than guessing and losing points for being wrong

[iluvben]

Don't think my school do it ;s

[Sazzle]

Yeah I've done it before, I hate it. It's stupid and doesn't even count for anything, all you get is a certificatee woo! Although I got a silver one year...lucky guesses I reckon.

[Sabu]

I got picked by my maths teacher for no reason ;l I am so dumb at maths :rolleyes: The only fun thing is the party every friday and my mates next to me :P

Anyway, the challenge was pretty poo -.- I think my score will be really low, as most of the questions after Q15 I got wrong, and they deduct 2 points for every wrong answer after Q15 and 1 point for every wrong answer from Q1 to Q3 :eusa_thin

The whole of top set in year 7 + 8 was in mine ;s.

We did one, it might be different, but we had to enter a 'UKMT' number, and when you chose your answers it was like choosing numbers for the lottery =P

[.Nickie]

Rofl

[Jordy]

I refused to do it this year, last year I was conned into doing it by my maths teacher saying it would be 'Fun and games all afternoon' :@

So as a protest, I refuse lol. Plus I'd have to miss IT and Drama to do it this year, so no point and it's boring.

[ColyTom]

It could be the same thing but it seems quite an early age to do it.
Well done :P
