Bellwood-Antis had four students advance all the way to the finals and two more to the semifinals last week at the IU-8 challenge 24 Game competition May 20, at Lakemont Park.

In all, 11 B-A students participated in the event, which is meant to test the calculating speed and accuracy of the top math students.

In 24 Game, all students complete round one with single digit cards and round two with double digit cards. The students with the highest totals in each age group proceed to semi-finals. They must solve 2 cards in the semi-finals with one solution and finally the winners of this round move to the finals. In the final round you must find one solution which solves 4 cards.
