Mini Events

Mini events are typically held Friday evening before competition day.

Jane Street Estimathon

The Estimathon is a mind-bending mixture of math and trivia. In teams, you'll attempt 13 Fermi problems in 30 minutes, ranging from totally trivial to positively Putnamesque. Be prepared to come up with the best set of confidence intervals! Sample problems include:

How many stop signs are in New York City?

How many babies were born in 1900?

How many Social Security Numbers are prime?

Integration Bee

Participants will be given a number of integration problems, with the ability to submit their answers and see a live leaderboard with everyone's score. The test will last ~40 minutes, and the top scorers will be recognized.

Mathdash Fun Round

This is a fun two-person team based MathDash round to get ready for the main contest tomorrow! Race to solve problems live and see the scoreboard update in real time. The top three teams will win MathDash premium for a month and gift cards!
