Every
year the Universidad Compútense de Madrid sponsors a mathematics competition
for all fifth grade and older students in the Comunidad de Madrid.
The
competition has two rounds of formal testing. The
first round happened in local schools in February and was open to all
interested schools in Madrid. The two top scoring students from
each grade at each school were then invited to the second round of testing
at the Universidad Compútense de Madrid. Harry and Charley were
the top fifth grade scorers from their school and on Saturday 21st April they took the
round two exam at the university.

| Billy outside the Math department at the University. [Billy was not allowed to sit for the test because he is only a fourth grader. He enjoyed doing the questions afterwards and his fourth grade status did not slow him down or prevent him from getting them right. He was often quicker than his mother - well my excuse is they were in Spanish.] |
