keeping with my current trend of stealing borrowing other markets! (sorry jacob)

market resolves yes if at least one of the following happens:

  1. my name is explicitly listed on the page of winners for 2023 and/or 2024 (i'm not actually sure what the cutoff is, but last year's page can be found here: https://www.bamo.org/archives/winners/BAMO2022-award-report.pdf)

  2. my school (nueva) is explicitly listed for 2023 and/or 2024, but i contribute to the reason it's listed. (for example, if we got first place in participation, that counts, but if we got first place in team awards, which is the sum of the top three scores in our school, but i'm not one of the top three scores, then it doesn't count.)

for some context:

  • i am currently a freshman (taking BAMO-12)

  • in eighth grade, i got honorable mention with a score of 29 (which was the upper bound for honorable mentions last year)

  • i suck at competition math, but am a little better at proof writing (which is what BAMO is)

  • i have reasonable confidence that i'll perform top 3 in my school, but because of this, i have very little confidence that we will get a high team score

  • we have ten people taking the bamo for my freshman year

What’s a bamo

@DesTiny this is bamo (tldr a math competition)

@halfaswiftie Did you know Jacob has two girlfriends? That man is a player smh my head

predicts YES

@Wobbles thanks for the enthusiasm! but actually my quantity of girlfriends is canonically “Mr Stone’s number”: uncountable infinity, but with just enough subtracted from it to be finite

@Imbens can vouch for this

@Conflux impressive
