Interview with winners of the Logical Olympiad 2013
After the winners were announced and prizes for victories handed over, photographs were taken, and then I had the opportunity to perform an interview with all of them.
I asked all of them the same questions:
What are your first impressions about your victory? Who is going to be pleased the most by your victory? Are you happy with the prize - a laptop? Are you going to use the free voucher for a Mensa IQ test?
Martin Dedek, Category A:
- I’m happy.
- My parents and my brother will be especially happy about my victory.
- I am really happy about the computer, I will finally have one of my own. So far, I have been sharing one with my brother.
- I will probably use the IQ testing voucher, but I haven’t given it much thought so far.
Pavel Hudec, Category B:
- I’m happy, I was doing my best to win.
- My parents and perhaps my classmates will be pleased by the achievement. I have no siblings.
- Of course I will use the computer. I however already have computers I can use at home (which was followed by a list of several models and their specifications), we just have an old and outdated printer.
- I will use the Mensa voucher.
Ondřej Motlíček, Category C:
- I’m happy I managed to win in the older category as well. Last year, I won in the B category.
- I will share my joy with my friends and my family.
- I’m definitely happy about the computer, and I’m going to use it a lot.
- I have already taken the Mensa IQ test, and I was successful. I will become a Mensa member at the earliest opportunity.
I asked Pavel an additional question:
Are you going to participate next year in the Logical Olympiad to win the printer?
Pavel Hudec, Category B:
- I will participate, but definitely not to win the printer – the printer is won by the runner-up. I never fight for second place.
Thank you, guys, and let me wish you a happy journey back home, a lot of enjoyment with the prizes, and good moods at home and at school. And, hopefully, let’s meet next year!
