Strong performances by Philian, Anfissa, and Robin at the Hessian Math Competition

 

In the second round of the 57th Mathematics Competition of the State of Hesse, 38 school champions from 8th grade in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district competed to demonstrate their mathematical skills. The Steinmühle High School was represented by three talented students: Philian Merle, Anfissa Kaschte, and Robin Richter.

In the first round, all three had achieved the best scores at our school, reports math teacher Maximilian Moll. Philian and Anfissa achieved outstanding scores among the G9 students, while Robin qualified as the top G8 student for the second round, which took place at the Elisabethschule.

Unlike the first round, the second round consists entirely of optional problems. The students are given six challenging problems, and their four best scores count toward their final score. All three participants performed very well, with Philian Merle’s performance particularly noteworthy. With 31 out of a possible 40 points, he took an outstanding 4th place.

The school community extends its warmest congratulations to Philian, Anfissa, and Robin on their achievements and wishes them continued enjoyment of math!
