4th place out of 26 teams!

We got 4th PLACE!!!!!!!!
That would mean that our mixed problem must have really good! Because our spontaneous score was really low, we only got 14 points! 10 points for working together and 4 points for showing up.

It was really awesome in Belarus!    Everything there was great except for the food (which happened to be something OK at breakfast,  at lunch usually soggy overcooked noodles and meat - and then again for dinner.) The best part of the trip was when we had our International Trading evening.  Everybody brought small gifts from their own country to trade.  I brought pencils and bookmarks and got a lot of neat things in exchange.

The people in Belarus were very friendly and welcoming.  They thought we were interesting because they had rarely ever seen English-speaking people before.
