mathmania

Mathmania is a mathematical puzzle contest where a sound knowledge of mathematics together with computational thinking will be essential to solve problems. Here, programming is just a means and not an end; it is mathematics which will lead you to an efficient and quick solution.

The motivation behind Mathmania is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.

We would like to acknowledge ProjectEuler for the concept.

    • Total Time is the sum of Submission Time of all problems, which have been correctly solved.
    • Submission Time is the time of last submission for the problem with respect to the start time of the contest.
    • For a problem with no submission or incorrect submission, no Submission Time will be considered in the Total Time.
  4. During the contest, the scoreboard on the right side assumes that all the submissions are correct and ranking is done on the basis of Total Time.
  5. As soon as the contest gets over, Points and Ranking will be available based on Correct answers.
