The best mental calculators from all over the world will meet at the 10th Mental Calculation World Cup 2024!

The Mental Calculation World Cup 2024 will be held in Paderborn, Germany

Venue: Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, world's largest computer museum
( https://www.hnf.de/en/home.html )

Date: 13-15 September 2024

Contest Details:
Calculators will have to solve tasks in different categories (addition, multiplication, extracting roots, day-of-the-week calculations) and various surprise tasks.

Please note that the number of participants is limited to 40, hence a qualification will be necessary. Therefore, each registration should include a documentation of the calculator's abilities and past results in the field of mental calculation.

For the qualification, information about previous results at mental calculation events (achieved in the past ten years), other mental sports contests and verified achievements with the Memoriad software ( http://memoriad.com/memoriadsoftware.asp ) are taken into consideration.
The results with the Memoriad software achieved should be documented (category, number of correct answers, time) and sent together with the application. These results must be confirmed by a witness with some background in mental calculation (for example a maths teacher or a university researcher who works in a field close to mathematics).

Deadline for registrations is 15 June 2024.

I am looking forward to meet the world's best calculators Paderborn!
