[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hard is Alcumus for your child and where are they math wise? I (an adult with an engineering degree) started doing some geometry problems and after around 15 problems I got stumped. Couldn't solve the problem in half an hour. There seems to be many more harder problems ahead. Who are the kids who can solve these problems?[/quote] I'm with you - I got stomped on a couple of geometry problems, too. Resorted to writing a numerical approximation program using binary search, converted the answer back to radicals, then we turned in the answer and read the solution. Then realized that I wouldn't have seen the answer even if I'd spent 5 hours on it. That's because some problems are drawn from the last five in AMC10/12. Practice helps though.[/quote]
