These were the rules for the blazingly fast times (from former students) that are shown below:
- Do at least 20 problems.
- The number correct must be at least 90% of the number attempted. (This prevents clicking through problems quickly to get to the easiest ones...)
(Most of these are extraordinarily fast times. I can't even come close!)
