The Final Round of the UNC Math Contest is on Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 1-4pm on the UNC
Campus in Greeley.
The First Round of the UNC Math Contest was held statewide during the first week
of November and approximately 2700 secondary students participated.
Approximately 330 of the top-scoring students have been selected to participate in
the Final Round.
Format of the Final Round
As with the First Round, no calculators are permitted. The Final Round is a pencil
and paper contest similar in spirit to the First Round. Participants are allowed three
hours to work on the questions on the final round. The questions are more
challenging and some of them may extend First Round questions. You may find it
useful to look over the First Round questions and their solutions. Those, as well as
all previous UNC Math Contest exams, both rounds, are on the contest website:

Information for Family and Teachers
Teachers and family members who drive to Greeley are invited to meet in a hospitality room in Ross
1060 for a solutions seminar. There we will discuss the solutions to the Final Round questions while
the students are working on them.
