Mathematics’ Challenge Round-Up
Team Challenge
This year’s Team Challenge was held at Regent’s School in Pattaya and involved 12
teams of 4 students from GIS, Regent’s, Regent’s Bangkok and REPs. Three teams were
taken to represent GIS and they competed in four rounds, which largely tested
Mathematical and logical abilities. Jignil and Liyana did extremely well in the memory
round, scoring maximum points. This involved coming on stage to recite the digits of
natural logarithm number ‘e’ up to 50 decimal places. Two of the GIS teams won prizes for
coming fifth.
