Enjoy the challenge!

The Leicestershire Mathematics Olympiad is an annual maths competition open to all Leicestershire school students and CULN students. The Olympiad is usually run in two stages. For the first stage we ask students to solve several mathematical problems and send the solutions to us. Those with the best work are invited to come to the University of Leicester to take part in the second stage of the Olympiad. Because of the limited number of high quality submissions this year it was decided to select the winners on the basis of the first stage only.
