Impressive speed, though they should've put more time into creating the questions I think e.g. the Ramanujan thing is very famous and is a free point to anyone who's seen it before, shouldn't belong on a quiz like this.
No idea why youtube recommended this to me but I have to say - the format is terrible! Just give everyone 30s to solve it (they will press the correct answer so you know the time when they had it) and then let them all show the answer and assign points based on speed... So Luke had it in 3s and gets 950p, someone else had it in 15s get 500p, etc... And also, don't use examples from books they might know.. just invest some time and prepare original questions.
The contestants don't seem to get penalized for getting anything wrong, so it seems to me the best strategy is to just quickly guess the most likely possible answer without fully solving the equation.
Replace the host!
is it even possible for luke to lose a math competition lol
This contest was HORRIBLY done!
Host did not take any public speaking classes in school
Luke looks a bit different from mathcounts
Full credit to the host for being able to still read the questions straight after his coffee-drinking world record attempt.

proud of you luke, leave humanity an epic paper or conjecture with your name on it.

May the force be with you, Luke..
Seems so clunky compared to the polished MathCounts competition! Still glad I got to see it.
Host: Here's the next question
I'm one of the worst human on earth at math and I'm watching this at 3am while drawing, my life is awesome.
My simplest solution to Question 3 at
Easier way to solve Question 7 (
Luke is litterally the main character
7:10
For question 8, the only integer that works is 76. Here’s why:
Luke always looks like he's going to have a stroke.
