5th year of the Logical Olympiad

Logical Olympiad 2012 was the 5th year of this event, and was a huge success. A grand total of 32,190 children from 1,660 schools from all over the Czech Republic (plus several students from schools in the US, Australia, Germany, and even Belgium) took part in the nomination round, which went on-line in the first three weeks of October 2012. The semi-finals took place in all 14 regions of the Czech Republic on 2 November 2012, with 2,144 pupils and students in total pitting their wits against each other. The ceremonial finals at Prague Castle were held on 26 November 2012, and the competition was really tough for the 196 finalists.
