If your name is not included in the awards list, you can check with your teacher to see how you did on the contest.   If you who wish to practice problems similar to those on future contests, and to see the answers to this contest, please c[lick here](https://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/) and then click on Math Contests.   Another way to practice is to sign up for the “Problem of the Week”, also put out by the CEMC. [Click here](https://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/resources/potw.php) to see “Problems of the Week” questions and solutions. There are questions at four different difficulty levels. Alternatively, if it is the Grade 11/12 difficulty questions you are looking for, you can visit the bulletin board outside my classroom. There are copies you can take for practice. Have fun!   *In addition to a high standard of learning recognized around the world, the King's-Edgehill School IB Programme is structured specifically to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.*   *[![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/422624/75a905d1-2789-46d4-bb3a-d33f5b3aa0de.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/422624/75a905d1-2789-46d4-bb3a-d33f5b3aa0de)* [Back](https://blog.kes.ns.ca) ## Become a Highlander - [Discover](https://www.kes.ns.ca/about) - [Apply](https://www.kes.ns.ca/admissions/admissions-process) - [Donate](https://www.kes.ns.ca/donate/annual-giving) [![Kings-Edgehill School](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/KES_July2022/images/footer-logo.png?width=150&height=988&name=footer-logo.png "Kings-Edgehill School")](https://www.kes.ns.ca/) [![Kings-Edgehill School](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/KES_July2022/images/footer-content-logo.png?width=150&height=988&name=footer-content-logo.png "Kings-Edgehill School")](https://www.kes.ns.ca/) [33 King's-Edgehill Lane](https://www.google.ca/maps/place/33+Kings+Edgehill+Ln,+Windsor,+NS+B0N+2T0/@44.9830759,-64.1367771,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x4b59a607602eb07f:0xd0cc4fd656a8b213!8m2!3d44.9830759!4d-64.1367771!16s%2Fg%2F11cs9hpqbd?entry=ttu) [Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada, B0N 2T0](https://www.google.ca/maps/place/33+Kings+Edgehill+Ln,+Windsor,+NS+B0N+2T0/@44.9830759,-64.1367771,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x4b59a607602eb07f:0xd0cc4fd656a8b213!8m2!3d44.9830759!4d-64.1367771!16s%2Fg%2F11cs9hpqbd?entry=ttu) [(902) 798-2278](tel:902-798-2278) [kesinfo@kes.ns.ca](mailto:kesinfo@kes.ns.ca)[tel:902-798-2278](tel:902-798-2278) - [Sitemap](https://www.kes.ns.ca/website-sitemap) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.kes.ns.ca/privacy-policy) - [![Facebook](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hubfs/facebook.png)](http://www.facebook.com/kingsedgehill) - [![Youtube](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hubfs/KES_July2022/youtube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/user/kingsedgehill) - [![Twitter](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hubfs/KES_July2022/twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/kingsedgehill) - [![Instagram](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hubfs/KES_July2022/instagram.png)](https://instagram.com/kingsedgehill/) - [![Linkedin](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hubfs/KES_July2022/linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/king's-edgehill-school/) King’s-Edgehill School is located in Mi'kma'ki, the unceded ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq People. - [![The Duke of Edinburgh's Award](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/KES_July2022/images/DE%20logo.png?width=150&height=988&name=DE%20logo.png "The Duke of Edinburgh's Award")](https://www.dukeofed.org/) - [![International Baccalaureate](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/KES_July2022/images/world%20school%20logo.png?width=150&height=988&name=world%20school%20logo.png "International Baccalaureate")](https://www.ibo.org/) - [![Canadian Accredited Independent Schools](https://blog.kes.ns.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/KES_July2022/images/CAIS%20logo.png?width=150&height=988&name=CAIS%20logo.png "Canadian Accredited Independent Schools")](https://www.cais.ca/)
