Competitors and potential competitors – registration is now open for the Mental Calculation World Cup 2018! All information can be found here.
The event will be held on the 28th – 30th September 2018
This year it will be held in Wolfsburg (Germany).
Applications are accepted until 1st June 2018.
If you haven’t competed before, but are interested, follow these steps:
- check out the results of the last competition on the RecordHolders.org website so you understand what level of competition to expect
- download the Memoriad simulator and practise some calculation categories, so you understand how your ability compares with the current competitors. Remember that with practice you will get better, and that you may be more skilled at the “surprise” categories. To see some example “surprise” questions, see pages 11-21 in the 2016 question sheets.
- if you wish to apply, ask someone you know with an understanding of Mathematics to witness you completing some categories on the Memoriad simulator, and send their signed confirmation to the organizers.
For any other information, please refer again to the announcement page on RecordHolders.org.
Hope to see many readers there in September!
