Ciphering Time Trials
The Ciphering Time Trials consists of ten rounds in which individual competitors are asked to solve three problems in three minutes. The problems in each round cover a range of topics and difficulties to provide both confidence and challenges to all competitors. For each round, 3 points are awarded if one out of the three problems is answered correctly, 7 points if two out of three are answered correctly, and 10 points if all three problems are answered correctly. Thus each of the ten rounds is worth ten poins, for a total score out of 100.
