Results to the 2006 Putnam Competition

<p>for those who like math. </p>

<p>I have no idea when they were actually released but I heard about it today. If there's already a thread on this then DELETE THIS ONE! </p>

<p>We'll have to tolerate the harvard links for now :/ MIT is not so quick to update or MAYBE I AM BAD AT GOOGLE.</p>

<p>DISCUSS.</p>

<p>I did not take this exam. I am not thinking about taking it. Who took it? How the heck did you do?</p>

<p>I didn't take the exam, but I like how practically half the people on the "highest ranked individuals" lists are from MIT :D.</p>

<p>Oh, I like those rankings. <em>Sigh</em> makes me want to get back in the saddle, dump physics, and go hardcore 18. Oh, math team, how I miss thee.</p>

<p>it's too bad, MIT had 3 people in the top 6 and Princeton had none, yet MIT lost to Princeton. (It's a 3-person team that is determined beforehand.)</p>

<p>team wins are a luck thing, really. at least I think. maybe a priorities thing.</p>

<p>Two of MIT's Putnam Fellows are freshman, which I find pretty phenomenal.</p>

<p>B5 would have been too easy even as an A1 or A2 question. what were they thinking?</p>

<p>Fine showing from Exonnians.....again.</p>

<p>Wow, this guy in my 6.042 class who sits at my table ranked tenth.</p>

<p>I feel smarter by association.</p>

<p>Wow everyone was from MIT that is amazing!</p>

<p>Not everyone was from MIT but they dominated. </p>

<p>MIT had:
3 out of the top 5 scorers
9 out of the top 14 scorers
13 of the top 25 scorers,
26 out of the top 77 scorers...</p>
