Hong Kong Mathematics Kangaroo Contest🇭🇰MKC is one of the largest mathematics competitions in the world. The contest was first held in France in 1991 and was named “kangaroo” because the contest format drew from the previously held Australian Mathematics Competition. As MKC became very popular among students, the contest has first spread from France to European countries, and has further expanded to around the world. Now, MKC is coordinated globally by “Association Kangourou Sans Frontières” (AKSF).
Magic Square Association (MSA) is the official organiser of MKC in Hong Kong as well as Macau. MSA aims to promote the mathematical education in Hong Kong and Macau.
To participate in the contest, students in kindergarten, primary, or secondary schools must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Students registered in schools located in Hong Kong or Macau.
- Permanent residents of Hong Kong or Macau.
- Holders of valid visas issued by the Hong Kong SAR or the Macau SAR government.

Team Composition: Each participating country team consists of six contestants, three girls and three boys, a team leader, a deputy team leader and observers
Competition Structure: The competition usually spans two days and includes two rounds of challenging mathematical problems that test various areas of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory.
Romanian Master in Mathematics🇷🇴The Romanian Master of Mathematics (RMM) (also known for a period as the Romanian Masters in Mathematics and Sciences) is an annual competition for students at the pre-university level, held in Bucharest, Romania. It is one of the most challenging international high school mathematics competitions. It allows students to demonstrate their mathematical abilities, exchange ideas, and to enhance cross-cultural contacts.
The contestants compete individually in Mathematics. The participating teams (national and local teams) can have up to four official contestants and several nonofficial contestants (plus two coaches: a leader and a deputy leader). The contest follows the same structure as IMO. The team score is based on the combined scores of three highest official contestants. Each year the winning country brings RMM trophy back to get its name engraved and returns it to the competition the next year.
