Scotch Improves With Age but Grammar DeterioratesAnd as Phil Swedosh tells us, interesting names don't pay off. Dot dot dot. On Friday the 28th of August the Maths Olympics were staged by
the Melbourne Uni Maths & Stats Society (MUMS) in Theatre A,
Richard Berry Building. Below are the results of the 28 teams
involved. The first number is the aggregate score, the second
number is the number of the last question that was solved. In the
event of equal scores, the second number was used to resolve
ties. If this number was tied, the previous question solved was
used, and so on.
