iTest TOC

The first three rounds of the 2008 iTest TOC are nearly polished, and the last three rounds are not far from complete as well. The problems are a little harder this year than last, as I expect the greater participation by top students in the 2007 iTest to carry over into the TOC. This is part of the reason I asked Adam Hesterberg to join the iTest writing staff. He and Zach Abel have each contributed three problems to the mix, and the overall level of difficult is a step up. As usual, we ask Zach to write the hardest geometry problems, which are always impressive. I have been impressed as well with Adam's creativity. His problems are great, and different from what students usually see on contests.

I know the entire iTest staff is excited and interested to see how many students are able to solve all the problems at each level.
