Points scheme for Challenge 8 part B and how we will choose the winners!

Here you will find the points scheme for Challenge 8B. As usual we will combine the marks you get on each of the part B challenges to give a final ranking for the competition. We will then select the three winning teams from those with the highest score overall, ranking these winners 1st 2nd 3rd using the overall scores. If there is a tie for first or second place we will use the actual time of submission for the 8B challenge to decide which team takes precedence. We hope that you will crack Challenge 8B without further help from us, but we may well give out hints to help, especially if you are all struggling! So do keep an eye on this page, and read the forums regularly to see any replies we give. Good luck to all of you. By the way, this last challenge carries a lot of marks and it is quite possible that the final winner will come from lower down the rankings at the end of round 7, so work at it. We will not publish information about winners before the end of the Challenge on January 1st.
