You've got to pay attention to details. You, as a competitor, should read through all questions carefully and understand what the questions ask. The event supervisors should make sure the questions match up with the answer key and make sure questions are solvable.

Went very well. I think I've described it previously. It was just the basics, and we got first overall, large and small school.
