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.
