There’s no way the MOG could be marked by Microsoft forms, it’s 5 long answer questions with explanations (if you’re referring to the MOG)

As Dani said, too many students to mark an Olympiad style paper and not enough markers. BMO1 is around 2000 and MOG was 5000. They have introduced the Maths Competition for Girls which will be computer marked but the limit to 4 mog entries hurts the most. I will volunteer myself to mark to help them

Brilliant, thanks! I ran the MOG for the first time last year and it was very well received so I’m hoping to get more involved with it

Ooh, how easy/hard was it to get into marking it? Is there a specific way to sign up for marking or do I just email them?

Maybe, definitely something to look at, but for now UKMT have limited us to strictly 4 entries. Last year we funded 30 students to enter so the funding on my end isn’t the issue

This is my current backup plan tbh, but I have a couple of students who were close to medals this year so may miss out. I don’t have any way of knowing in advance which students to select to enter for the real thing

Which students are counted in this? Our college alone had more students that 16 doing maths, further, physics & comp sci last year

I very much intend to volunteer myself to mark it!

#college #ukmt #mog #bmo I’m looking for anyone who runs the Maths Olympiad for Girls from large centres to talk to - I teach at a college with 5000 students (1200 maths) and I am outraged that UKMT has limited us to 4 entries. If you’re in this situation, please dm me. @tlmaths.bsky.social

I’m bringing Necro today, which I think is a good match up into orcs so I’m hoping that helps!

Are there discord servers for all different races out there or is this a gnome specific phegnomenon?

Cleopatra is closer to us (~2000 years ago) than to the pyramids (~4500 years ago)

Joeseph will have the highest NAF number at Eurobowl, calling it now. Nice to see some young players in there though, even if Pegleg has been playing for like 10 years

I tell my students that if they want to call sinh β€˜shine’ or sech β€˜sheck’ then they also have to use β€˜chos’ for cosh and β€˜chot’ for coth etc

I’m taking Old World Alliance to elPlanet4’s charity event in Cheltenham! He’s raising money for his home town, Valencia, which was hit by some very bad floods.

Gunna start with a mixture of posts and see where this goes. I’m sure I’ll post lots of blood bowl content so have some pics of my recently finished vampire team!
