Foreword Avant-Propos
Our congratulations go to all who participated in this year’s Pascal, Cayley and Fermat Contests. This year’s
Contests were great successes, with averages of 85.33, 94.09 and 91.70 across the three Contests. The number of
eligible contestants with perfect papers on the three Contests were 62, 65 and 59. There was an error on #10 on
the French version of the Cayley Contest, for which we apologize. Every student who wrote the Cayley Contest
was given 5 points for this question, regardless of whether they answered it or not.
As always, we would like to thank the hard-working Problems Committees. Most of the members of these Com-
mittees are active secondary school teachers from across Canada who volunteers their time and contribute dozens
of hours of expertise. Without their intriguing and sometimes amusing problems, these Contests would not be
possible.
We would also like to thank all participants, both teachers and students. We hope that the papers provided
you with some interesting mathematics to think about and play with. Thank you for your support! Please con-
tinue to encourage your colleagues and fellow students to become involved in our activities.
Nos félicitations vont à tous les participants du Concours Pascal, Cayley et Fermat de cette année. Les Concours
de cette année retentissaient de succès, avec des moyennes de 85,33, 94,09 et 91,70 à travers les trois Concours. Le
nombre de candidats eligibles possédant un concours parfait était de 62, 65 et 59. La version française du concours
Cayley comportait une erreur à la question 10, et nous nous en excusons. Toutes et tous les élèves qui ont écrit le
concours Cayley ont reçu 5 points pour cette question, qu’elles et ils y aient répondu ou non.
Nous aimerions surtout remercier les Comités de problèmes pour leur dur travail. La plupart des membres de ces
Comités sont des enseignant(e)s d’école secondaire actifs d’un bout à l’autre du Canada qui offre leur temps et
contribuent des douzaines d’heures d’expertise. Sans leurs problèmes perspicaces et amusants, ces Concours ne
seraient pas possibles.
Nous aimerions remercier aussi tous les participants incluant les enseignants et les étudiants. Nous espérons
que ces concours ont fourni des mathématiques intéressantes qui vous ont amusés et poussés à réfléchir. Merci
pour votre soutien continué!
