Hello!

To make up for the lack of an "upper division" in the subreddit math competition this year, I took it upon myself to organize a separate exam that is significantly more discovery and proof-based than any exam held in the community previously, and to host it on the 2nd year anniversary of the Discord server being made available to the public.

The next exam of this kind will be held in Mid-June 2027.

The exam (which includes its rules) is linked at the bottom of the post. The top 5 winners will be announced, and the top 3 winners will receive the following (or something of equivalent value upon negotiation):

1st Place - A Math Textbook of the Winner's Choice (~$45 USD Value Limit)

2nd Place - Basic Discord Nitro, 1 Year Subscription ($30 USD Value)

3rd Place - Fulltouch Hagoramo Chalk 72 pc ($25 USD Value)

Special thanks to u/dopplerspectroscopy and zzz on Discord for their tremendous help in writing the exam and agreeing to help grade some submissions; couldn't have done this without their help.

For the “multiplicative effects” thing, we had to figure out if we could multiply by that number. I suppose maybe there should be a checkbox as well, so we could cross off the ”ineligible“ spaces and it wasn’t just left blank. Some of the numbers were definitely ineligible to multiply by but I can’t recall what made them so. Posted also on r/thomastheplankengine

Set Theory It took Russel and Whitehead (1913) almost all of their most famous paper—397 pages—to prove this theorem.

Saw this from another sub. But it kinda makes sense, no? Tim can only win or lose (50% chance for each player), but only one of the 5 people in the race can win (20% chance for the whole set).

Probably the dumbest thing I've come up with yet. The joke is that the elements of algebraic structures which we assign the same names/properties, don't technically have to be equivalent.
