Applying knowledge to solve problems; they replicate real life.”
Although entering these types of competitions can be complicated, family support is essential. In Cynthia’s case, her parents taught her to solve situations based on mathematical logical reasoning from a young age and participating in the Olympics was an almost natural step, as she also wanted to show the world what she could do.
