UPDATE !!!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS of MATH MADNESS!!!
Valley Christian's score of 93 yesterday was unbelievable. Literally. The test had 10 questions and 5 of them were saved for the final due to their extreme difficulty. In the six brackets, 12 teams took the same test. Each school had, at most, one student earn 10/10. Our top student, Ben Chen, is ranked #21 in the nation and earned 9/10. Valley Christian had 6 "perfect" scores.
The MAA (Mathematical Association of America), quickly looked into it and determined that Valley Christian had, in fact, cheated on the test.
So ... we are the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS !!!!!
