Description
This is the warm-up to the Putnam exam, easier in nature and lighter in time, held annually on campus in late October. The number of problems varies; it is typically 7. Many institutions use the Virginia Tech contest to pick the Putnam team. Princeton will participate in this contest starting in 2007.
