The maths olympiad

Well what happened at the Maths Olympiad...when we got to the auditorium there were tables all lined up for the groups of four for the maths.  When it was time to start Caleb B ran to the person that gave you the piece of paper he got it and ran all the way back to the table. I was the reader so I had to read the it to the group. It was a bit hard but we got five points for it.  So Caleb ran got another one. That one was really hard but we tried it twice we still didn't get so we passed. We kept doing our math and then the timer was up. We saw that we came last but we had fun and that's all that matters to me.
