MIMC
Contents
Format
The MIMC, or Masters Invitational Math Contest, is an annual math competition hosted on AoPS by several South Carolinians. Discussion is hosted in the South Carolina Forum. The MIMC is given twice a year, and is open to all AoPS members. The contest is written by Sean Soni, Shobhit Vishnoi, and Joe Laurendi, with additional contributions from many others.
Difficulty
The contest will be 50 questions, multiple choice, ranging from National MathCounts to upper level AIME difficulty. We would like every AoPSer to participate, but do not be discouraged by harder problems towards the end. Although we encourage middle-schoolers to participate, middle schoolers are not expected to be able to anwer the higher numbered questions.
Scoring
Each correct answer will earn 5 points, a question left blank will earn 1 point, and an incorrect answer will earn 0 points. Scores will range from 0 - 250.
Time Limit
Due to our inability to accurately track time participants will have four weeks to turn in answers. An extension MAY be given if more participants are needed.
Challenges
Before we send out scores and compile results, I will post the answer key here. Any challenged should be PMed to MIMC Director, and our team will review the challenge, and tell you the result. After 3 days, the challenge window will be closed, and results will be posted, and scores sent out. All challenges will be decided by the MIMC Committee.
