Yun Seo should be exceptionally proud of his achievement.The Olympiad consists of Section A, 10 quick answer questions worth 1 point each, followed by five Section B questions, each worth 10 points. Guidance from the UKMT organisation suggests that a good candidate would answer most of Section A, and attempt at least two Section B questions. Yun Seo performed extremely well, answering the majority of Section A correctly, and attempting three Section B questions, gaining full marks on one of them!
