Rules

Three prizes will be awarded:

First Prize 50 punt
Second Prize 30 punt
Third Prize 20 punt

The Department of Mathematics will send a letter of commendation to every entrant who has submitted a meritorious attempt.
Entries will be judged on the completeness of solutions and the clarity of exposition. Note, however, that past experience indicates that complete and perfect solutions may not be necessary to win. If no-one solves the problems completely then the prizes will be awarded for the best partial solutions.
Entrants must be at most 18 years old.
Entrants must be enrolled at a secondary school in Ireland, or its equivalent.
The decision of the judges will be final. No correspondence will be entered into.
