UKMT Senior maths challenge 2024

[@aadityakalwani]

this is a few minutes of "ohhhh I seeeeee" followed by a lot of "what in the fuck I don't have enough IQ for this 😭"

[@Paige-ez5g]

What a way to start the weekend!

[@lustrous3846]

I am actually so bummed out that I wasted so much time on the easier questions because I just couldnt get the dice question, I missed out on the end questions (they didnt seem too crazy!!!!)

[@marley942]

Me toooo i missed some easy questions for no reason

[@iq-_-]

same 😢

[@Hemimana]

I was kinda bummed out on q3, “opposite numbers must add up to 7” I was never told that my entire life 😭

[@brokenwhistle886]

First year my college doesn't enter year 12s automatically meant I didn't participate, but did the paper and would have got 111. This is annoying.

[@adityashethwala8936]

When are grade boundaries released?

[@mfargamer]

flopped that paper cl got some of the easy questions wrong

[@harrygaming9090]

hi r2. just wanted to ask how to get better at solving these types of problems?

[@user-he3bl9sh1v]

Please explain why for Q3/. you said '4,4,1 or 2,2,5' - why not '1,3,5'?

[@harryl9]

The question says that the touching faces have the same number on them, so there must be a repeated digit in the group of three that you consider.

[@user-he3bl9sh1v]

@@harryl9 yes i realised that right after, thanks tho:).

[@tosynariyo2427]

What do you think Olympiad will be?

[@mathocolate2]

103 I think

[@tosynariyo2427]

I hope so, that’s my predicted mark!

[@tosynariyo2427]

Oh well, it is 110… 🥲

[@ThoseInterestingStories]

I think I got 125marks on the test I think but I got so lucky because on question 25 I found the first 2 sections being both 4 and then literally guessed that the 3rd section would probably be 4 lol

[@lukienure5007]

18 questions right is that enough for gold ?

[@MattyThomas]

Should be If you get around 15 right, no matter how many u got wrong it usually confirms a Gold award Well done!

[@rKaraa]
