Calculators are absolutely allowed.

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.

LOL @ E=MCHammer

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.

Congratulations to Blair HS, Takoma Park MS, and Herbert Hoover MS, for leading Maryland in 2023 Purple Comet math contest:
