29/10/2008: Thanks to all the teachers who have submitted their results so promptly. About 4300 scores have been reported so far. We believe that about 7000 students participated. As yet we have just one perfect score - John Boyce of Errigal College, Letterkenny, Co. Donegal who scored 20/20 in the junior contest. Congratulations John!

22/10/2008: Our results page is now online. You can find the names of the top students in each school as well as some summary statistics on the overall results of the contest. We have also posted a list of the top 100 students in junior and senior contests. Of course, these lists and statistics will change as we continue to upload results to the database. As of today, about 35 schools have reported their results. So there are about 100 schools that have yet to report. Thanks again to Paul Geeleher for designing the results page.
