Washington Mathlete and Texas Team Triumphed
At MATHCOUNTS Finals
Seventh-grader Edward Wan of Bellevue, Washington took home the top prize at the 2016 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS National Competition in May by answering the question “What is the remainder when 999,999,999 is divided by 32?” His correct answer, 31, came in just 6.95 seconds.
The Texas team—with members Andrew Cai, Luke Robitaille, Benjamin Wright, and Justin Yu—also came out on top. All four Texas team members qualified for the Countdown Round, a MATHCOUNTS first.
