How many ways to spell the word COUNT
yinglinwu   8
N 3 hours ago by yinglinwu
This is the problem 2.771 from the book Competition Math For Middle School. The printed answer is 16, which is obtained by going through the triangle. I have no idea about what's going on there. Can anyone help explain please?

BTW, my understanding about a way to spell COUNT is simply to choose an order of those letters and write down them one by one at their designated locations, like writing down U first at the 3rd location, then O at the 2nd position, N at 4th, T at 5th, and C at 1st. Therefore, in total we should have 5! ways to spell the word.

Camp Conway acceptance
fossasor   18
N Apr 22, 2025 by EthanNg6
Hello! I've just been accepted into Camp Conway, but I'm not sure how popular this camp actually is, given that it's new. Has anyone else applied/has been accepted/is going? (I'm trying to figure out to what degree this acceptance was just lack of qualified applicants, so I can better predict my chances of getting into my preferred math camp.)

They release application decisions in batches. You probably just didn't hear back from them yet. When you do, it will be an email.

Out of curiosity, did you apply for the first session of Conway or the second?

None of the other sessions of Conway or Sierpinski worked for me, so I only applied for the second.

If the expenses are problematic, I will point out they offer a financial aid program which may be of use. :)
