FOBISIA MATHS CODE BREAKING COMPETITION 2023 Andrew Chambers Maths Teacher British International School Phuket
British International School, Phuket (BISP) successfully hosted the FOBISIA Mathematics Code Breaking competition for the second successive year. Initially planned as a stand-alone event, it was brought back by popular demand. The virtual event was another huge success with 78 schools taking part from across Asia, and this year they were joined by invited schools from Europe and the Americas. Students had to work through a variety of codes, and those that cracked all codes in a level got to add their names to the leaderboard. This year there were 5 different code levels – including a Murder Mystery, a Spy Challenge and a fiendishly difficult Open Challenge. We had entrants from Year 4s to Year 13s - and overall there were more than 17,000 leaderboard entries from 14,000 competitors – a fantastic achievement! A special mention to Dover Court International School, St Andrew's International School Bangkok, North London Collegiate School Jeju, Tenby Setia Eco Park, Sri KDU International School (Kota Damansara), and The International School @ParkCity. All the above schools placed in the Top 2 positions across the various code levels. Well done!
Although the competition is closed, you can still have a go at the challenges on BISP's codecracking website.
