Club 1729, a math organization that has been founded to inspire children towards Mathematics and help them build problem-solving skills and logical abilities. Club 1729 has been founded by the Alumni and some of Faculty of Mathematics at IIT Bombay, who are extremely passionate towards teaching and Mathematics.
We started ‘Goblet of Problems’ last year with an intention to create a platform where children from different schools, cities and countries can participate and engage in solving interesting puzzles and problems that involve application of what they learn in school. We are happy that this received a warm and encouraging response with students across globe (US, Europe, China, Africa and India) participating enthusiastically.

There are no registration fees.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CONTEST
- This is a mini-contest and the objective of this contest is to assess and benchmark a young child on the application of mind – particularly to solve problems around math and logic.
- It is to identify interest and potential of a child around math and logic.
- It is to acknowledge the ‘grit’ and ‘perseverance’ of the child around building the math skills.
- The contest is not meant to be a comprehensive one and is not intended to reflect IQ or any other benchmark. It is a reflection of performance around certain tasks on a particular day.
AWARDS & MARKING
Students may find this contest more difficult than the school exams, especially if they have not been exposed to ‘application’ or ‘contest’ kind of problems. We have evolved our marking system to factor in the difficulty levels. Following is our general approach (this may vary from contest to contest)
| Gold Medal | Top 5 percentile | These are the general guidelines and there will be minimum criteria. At any point the organizers may deviate from the policy. |
| Silver Medal | Between Top 5 to 15 percentile | |
| Bronze Medal | Between Top 15 to Top 25 percentile |
A Certificate in the electronic format (PDF) will be issued.
PARTICIPATION
Promoted to Std 3 to Std 10 (as of June 2021)
For awarding medals, a student’s grade and difficulty of the question will be considered.
