I looked at some notes I had taken&nbsp;beforehand and left. When I arrived there, I met up with Luca, who was the second representative&nbsp;from my school, and&nbsp;we waited until the first session started. The first session was a mental test, but it was no ordinary mental test since the questions were more challenging than expected.&nbsp; In fact, the questions required the constant use of logic since they were nothing like&nbsp;the usual ones found in a routine mental test. When the first session ended, we had a 30-minute break to eat, drink and engage in a discussion about the first session. During the second session we were allowed to use a calculator. However, these questions were even more complex and having a calculator did not make our job easier since we had to form an equation prior to using it.&nbsp; All in all, the Maths Olympiad was an experience I will never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"484\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Luca-484x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Luca-484x1024.jpg 484w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Luca-142x300.jpg 142w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Luca-128x270.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Luca.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>contributed by Gabriel Pace Year 11 It was Tuesday when I woke up early&nbsp;in the morning, eager to go to Mosta, where the Olympiad was going to take place.
