About Purple Comet
Purple Comet is a relatively new, but rapidly expanding competition. It was founded by Dr. Jonathan Kane, of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Since its inception in 2003, Purple Comet has become an internationally recognized competition. In 2012, 2700 teams from 43 different countries participated.
Purple Comet is unlike our other competitions in that it is team-based. Students must know a lot of math, but also be capable of collaborating and achieving consensus before submitting their team’s answers. These are useful, life-long skills!
Teams are comprised of up to six students. High school team students must attend 9th through 12th grade in regular school. Middle school team students must be in grades 6 through 8.
The test is an online exam. Students receive a question from their instructor, discuss the problem and its solution, and submit the team’s final answer online. The test is limited to 60 minutes at the Middle School level and 90 minutes at the High School level. It is always held in mid-April.
