Here are the results for the Practice Round. As you can see the
teams did better on problem 1 than on problem 2. The competition
organizers have learned from your performance about the kind of problems
that are appropriate. You also can learn from this experience. The
progress of physics has been supported by collaboration between the scientists.
You too can benefit from collaboration. Working as a team you can
achieve more than you can as individuals. The first step is to see
how you did. Look for the answers using the links below the table.

On each page you will find:
-
The problem.
-
The solution.
-
The grading rubric. (This is a fancy name for the point scheme for
grading.)
It is a good idea to discuss the answers that were given by your other
half team.
The problems showing links are ready in both English and Russian.
Problems 1, and 2 you have seen, 3 and 4 were not used and will not
be posted. We show 5, and 6 so you can see what the math problems
may look like.
Problem 3 - English - Russian
