                                    The Mathematics Contest

                                               “THE CLOCK-TOWER SCHOOL”

                      The contest has three sections. The participation of the students is open, if the registration’s conditions are respected.

Comparing to the previous editions, this year the first two sections will take place simultaneously because the first section will be more accessible and the problems will be easier for students who don’t participate at the National Olympiad.

 The first section, the individual exam at mathematics, is organized for each grade, from 2^nd to 8^th.

The second section is an exam like JBMO (Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad), organized on two levels Juniors I (grades 7^th – 8^th) and Juniors II (6^th) and is meant for students who participate at the National Olympiad.

The third section is an exam of ingenuity and is for students in grades 5^th to 8^th.
