You will have 90 minutes to answer the questions. Participants can
bring non-programmable pocket calculators an their personal assortment of
formulas on an A4 sheet. This A4 can have any contents on both sides BUT ONLY
IN YOUR OWN HANDWRITING! (no copy, not print-out, not another person's
handwriting)
