Results of the CASTOR 2020 competition

Once again this year, the students of the Lycée Français International de Bahreïn had the opportunity to rack their brains over the challenges of the Castor competition during the week of December 6, 2020. Created in 2004, this mathematical and computer logic competition brings together between 500,000 and 700,000 participants around the world.

From CM1 to Terminale, no less than 325 LFIB students worked on the 2020 edition during the 45 minutes of the test. Some will say that the 12 problems proposed this year were a little simpler than those of last year but this is not the feeling of all and certainly not of the 10 courageous teachers who lent themselves to the game of the contest by making work their meninges! We will note the symbolic first place of Laurent Valdes in this internal competition with a nice score of 438 points out of 480. A friendly nod to the shock duo made up of Valérie Haessler and Odile Manchon who succeed, despite their preconceptions, to get a very honorable 410 out of 480.

The results of the 2020 edition for the LFIB are particularly good and the best students received a diploma in the image of the competition attesting to their score and their ranking.
