Congratulations to Yunaa and Liah in Year 8 on winning the Intermediate Division of the prestigious University of Melbourne Mathematics and Statistics Research Competition.

Entries were judged according to the originality, creativity, communication, presentation and elegance of their solutions.

The girls made progress on a fiendishly difficult maths problem whose solution has eluded many mathematicians to date and have assured their teacher that the $1500 prize money will be spent on new maths textbooks that will help ensure victory next year!
