Maths Lovers get in here let's deliberate on the ongoing Cowbellpedia Maths Competition. This is the season four series and mehn! the game is sizzling hot.

I would have started this thread before now but it escaped my notice. I thought that Nairaland wouldn't lag behind but the converse is rather the case.

Well, I have got it started, let's make this thread an interesting one. I will be posting updates from the competition. If anybody has any observation, opinion or sideview, please, don't hesitate to throw them in.

Thank you all very much.

Thanks. I will update much tonight.

More of the junior Contestants.

Alright. Those are the 54 junior Contestants.
Now meet our 54 senior contestants.

Alright guys. I'm done introducing the 108 wonderful kids that have been battling it in the ongoing Cowbellpedia competition.

Relax, as you ride with me into the game proper.

So far, there has been Nine Preliminaries consisting of twelve contestants each. Six from the Junior and Six from the senior category.

From the preliminaries, 36 of them made it into the Semifinals. Two top scores each were selected from each of the nine episodes of the preliminaries.

Mehn! It was hot, fierce and enchanting.

Please, if you have been following the show on TV or YouTube, try to contribute to this thread. Thanks a whole lot.

The Cowbellpedia game itself is a computerized. We have the Quiz master Oscar who reels out the questions from his computer podium to the contestants who receive the questions simultaneously on their own electronic podium.

The game is a dual one, the first which consists of 12 questions solved by the students within five minutes and the second one being the Almighty sixty seconds of fame.

In the first round , the three top scorers move over to the second round automatically. In the second round/ sixty seconds of fame, the three top scores answer as many maths questions as possible. Accuracy and speed matter a whole lot in this round.

For record purposes, Faith Odunsi of the Ambassadors College Ota holds the current record as the fastest kid genius since in the junior category. She answered 17 Maths questions effortlessly within 60 seconds.

There's something about Ambassadors College, Ota, Ogun State I so much love that school.
