Marking in 2020

Notice board for errors and corrections in the Advanced solutions

  • Sunday 20.2.9: Problem #8. The maximum points for this problem is 26, but some people have reported that they see 20 in the portal  – which means that it won’t accept any scores above 20. We’ve checked that the portal database in fact has 26, so we don’t understand why it might show some people (but not us) just 20. Please tell us if this happens to you.

The marking coordinator is Neema Kotonya
