Fobissea Maths Challenge 2013 - Congratulations!!!



FOBISSEA Maths Challenge 2013


The city of Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam is filled with many sights and wonders to behold. The food, the culture is truly amazing. It also turned out that it was the host of this year’s edition of the FOBISSEA Maths Challenge. St. Christopher’s chose a team of 4 to represent the school in the competition, namely Adam Pinsler (6CR), Tyler Chan (6JA), Yusuke Konno (6KB) and Joshua Pasuquin (Also 6KB). The team competed against 24 other schools in the region, to come out in 9th place overall. The team departed on Thursday March 7 to Vietnam, where for 2 days, they competed. There was the Team Challenge and the Complete Team Challenge on the first day. Along with that, there were sightseeing tours and fantastic foods to top off the day. The pressure ramped up on the second day, where the individual, computer and written challenges took place. With even more exploring and tasting, the awards ceremony came and the SCIPS team won 9th place (Out of 25). The individual results came and went like this:
Adam: 27th/100
Tyler: 25th/100
Joshua: 35th/100
Yusuke: 5th/100

Finally the team arrived back in time for the weekend. (Fun Fact: One of the people in the team also went to PPAC, which turned out to be the week after the team returned.
