A team from Poland has won the Baltic Way 2024 Mathematics Competition. From November 14 to 18, the XXXV Baltic Way Mathematics Competition was held in Tartu, Estonia. The Polish team took first place. The team supervisors were Dominik Bysiewicz and Łukasz Orski.
The members of the Polish team were Krzysztof Karwik, Jakub Pieczonka, Patryk Rosół, Tadeusz Rylski and Szymon Urban.
They proved to be the best this year, scoring 77 points out of a possible 100, second place with 64 points went to the Estonians, and third place to the Germans with 57 points.
“Baltic Way” is an annual mathematics competition of the Baltic States designed for high school students. The competition is open only to representatives of 11 countries along the Baltic Sea: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Norway, Poland, Sweden and St. Petersburg (Russia). Each year, the competition is organized by a different country.
The important rule of the competition is that tasks are solved in groups, not individually. Each team consists of five people and together they solve 20 tasks of high difficulty.
We sincerely congratulate the entire team and their supervisors and wish them good luck in future challenges.
