BELMONT MATH HUNT

1. 2025 Belmont Math Hunt will be held on Sunday, November 9 1:00PM EST on Moment of Math online and is open to all middle school students
‍
2. Students may form teams of 4 students or sign up as an individual such that the organizers will group individual participants into teams
‍
3. The competition will consist of themed problem sets distributed teams will have a period of 90 minutes to solve as many problem sets as they can. A team can choose the order they do the problems
‍
4. A team will enter a problem set, work on the problem set, and submit for points. When they submit, their score will be updated on a live score board, telling how many points they got on that submit. After submitting once, the team has one more chance to submit. The problems answered correctly will not be displayed, and it is possible for the team to change their correct answer to an incorrect one and lose points on their second submission, so be careful!
‍
5. When a team starts a problem set, all members of the team must work on that round. After exiting the problem set, teams cannot re-enter the problem set.
‍
6. For solving each problem, teams will earn a number of points based on correctness, how quickly it was solved, and how many other teams solved it, so plan your excursion accordingly! These points (not the problems solved) determine the team's final placement. In the unlikely event of a tie, it'll be broken by the least solved problem a team answered correctly.
‍
7. In order to protect the competition’s integrity, students are not allowed to use external resources (notes, calculators, websites) or attempt to cheat in any way. If there is any compelling reason to believe that a student gained an unfair advantage, their team’s results may be disqualified
