scaredy cat. tongue cheesy

My questions were merely Coordinate Geometry (can be found in Jamb Syllabus and Year 1 Elementary Maths II)
Golden ratio -jamb and elementary math?!! Abba, there's God o. Lol. It's all good though. At least one will learn new things

Okay that's a nice suggestion. please kindly preview this thread and tell us what you think about the standard.

Oga Richard I know about that thread. I only wanted to know if you have moved from the status quo..

i'm hoping you'll be joining the organizing team, you're really a force to reckon with wink
Though the chance to be part of it is tempting, but I'm so so unavoidably busy this period.

Maths was my best subject back in school. I remember how I would solve away till I got the answer. For answers to questions you dont have time to google, just go to http://quickgooglenaija..com/

So far, So better. However, I feel these two inputs will redefine it towards the best.

1- Organization:
--- Fixed time for posting and answering of questions.
--- measures taken for modifying answers by participants.
--- Level of Questions: In as much as I will love brain teasing mathematics questions, there is still a need to diversify them. But again, we need to take note that it is not a crime if a Statistician fails repeatedly in Computational Mathematics,its not his field. In lieu of this, I recommend Stages for the test questions. From simple Math. Questions to Brain Teasers(Reasoning). Each Stage will cross out questions from Trigonometry to Geometry, Algebra to Statistics. If need be, A tougher stage may cut across Analysis to Computational Mathematics.

In Summary, Each stage should provides a participant an average level of questions and average participation.


2--- Formatting of Questions and Answers. The issue of incorporating mathematical symbols can be alarming! Though, we can use "/=" to represent "not equal to" but can we easily find replicas for binary operations?
I once advised in the CLINIC about learning to imbibe ourself the culture of using LaTeX but no duly response, maybe the people I am talking to are already gurus using LaTeX grin

If Possible, Questions should be posted using LaTeX in form of Images. I hope one day Seun will endeavour to include a plugin on the site to enable us type it directly.


I hope these two points help.

For the Love of Math!

Thumbs up! Nostalgia things!! OP wants to drive us back to the good 'O' Level days.

OP kindly consider the fact that most people generally have tight schedules during hours of the day. I'll suggest that you start the Quiz lately in the night like let's say 9.00pm.

The questions shouldn't be abstract and should not be set in such a way that those that aren't mathematic major won't be able to attempt it. There are also a lot of basic yet tough questions( much of those should be considered for the quiz so that a wide variety of participants can take part for a reasonable period and not just abscond at the sight of complex advanced mathematics questions.

I love the style that was introduced to the last quiz competition where at a stage, each participant gets a unique question which must be answered within a stipulated time after which the question will be opened to other participants as a bonus. this should be continued.

At a latter and very important stage of the competition, all answers should be sent to a mail address and not posted here in order to avoid dubbing by participants at the nick of time. Last time, there was a funny scenario where some participants started getting the same answer as the the one that was posted by a participant, only for all of them to be wrong. If they were correct, it would have been free points so the email address option comes handy here.

Sometimes, I think network issues should be considered, could get so bad at times thus, the time for submitting answers should be extended a little bit.
#The major downside of an online quiz is that there might be multiple persons behind a moniker or several solvers as participants aren't visible# Still fun though.

Lastly, please, the competition shouldn't take place during work hours. Night time will be the best during workdays.

I want to be a participant.
