First at all you must know that all results obtained in Round 1 are not relevant to the Round 2.
This year section was marked by the new site for hosting the competition. A new element has its own weaknesses and that we can deal only through collaboration, communication and feedback.
Started in September, Round 1 was one of the most comprehensive comparing with previous years.
Also, the competition format was changed from one hour at a specific date to 24 hours format, allowing students from around the world to compete at the times most suitable for them.
This change, including more generalist format of questions, the period of time for holding the round I, resulted in qualitatively better results this year. We mention that there were two scores close to maximum (29) but we have not had the joy of achieving the maximum score (30 points).
Special congratulations to:
