Record number of Math Mania winners

Math Mania contestants in March certainly found a puzzle that they could master. Thirty-seven of the entrants answered all seven of the questions correctly.

That's a record number of winning contestants for a single monthly math contest on Young Saint Louis.com.

Under contest rules, YSL.com awards up to three $10 Borders book certificates to winners. But, in celebration of the landslide of winners, we are expanding the number of certificate recipients to five.

What we did was put the 37 winning entries into a hat and drew the names of five to get the certificates. The five were Mimi Hiebert of St. Louis, Caitlin Kropp of Clayton, Jackie Migneco of St. Louis, Zach Praiss of Clayton and Kelsey Witzling of Maryland Heights.
