The team representing Cuba in the 65th International Mathematics Olympiad received five honorable mentions in this demanding and competitive event, which concluded this Sunday in Bath, United Kingdom.

Karla Yisel Ramírez Garcel, Ricardo Molano Domínguez, Ailema Matos Rodríguez, Ián David Lorenzo García, and Marcel Gámez Salvo were the young individuals who received honorable mentions.

Completing the team of Cubans is the student Damiam Fuentes Campos.

The contestants had to face two days of tough mathematical tests, with a total of six questions from areas such as algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics, which they had to answer in just four and a half hours.

Cuba was one of the one hundred countries participating in the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad.
