Teresa Olson, Steve Bennett, and Joshua Harvey’s team came in 4th place, while Da Zheng, Zhiguo Wang and Matthew Stodola’s team came in 5th. Both teams answered as many questions correctly as the top finisher, but received fewer points in subjective partial credit.
Congratulations to everyone who participated and good luck again next year.
