So, my kid isn't a math kid so I clicked through for fun. This was an international contest and MCPS did great. Also, the TPMS team names were pretty funny.

It's a fun game. Calculator is not allowed but you can write codes to brute-force solve problems. My child found the answer to one of the probability questions by coding, which turned out to be quicker.

Calculators are absolutely allowed.
