screen. Teams can start writing their answers while the question is being read.
• TIME LIMIT – A 5-second countdown begins after the second reading. For word
problems needing solutions, contestants have 15 seconds. Otherwise, the
proctor will specify the time limit. For word problems, the solution is not
necessary. Only the final answer will be considered.
