SCMP Reporter

Bishop Hall Jubilee School has defeated 39 rival schools to win this year's Hong Kong Mathematics Olympiad after a series of keen competition.

The finalists, qualified from a group of 266 schools, battled  in the grand final held at the Hong Kong Institute of Education.

St Paul's College and Queen Elizabeth School came second and third, respectively.

All finalists will meet again in a Mathematics Camp on May 15 for more tasks at Wu Kai Sha Youth Village. Scholars will also give talks.

Dr Wong Tak-wah from the Department of Mathematics at the HKIEd said the  students surprised him.

'There were both routine and non-routine problem-solving questions in the competition,' said Dr Wong.

'They all did pretty well on the routine ones as those were what they have been doing in school. But I'm impressed by their results on the non-routine ones.'

The Mathematics Olympiad is open to Form Four students in Hong Kong.
