Third Brainfinity problem: Exciting contest at the stock exchange, unpredictable until the very end
Dear current and future Brainfinity teams, this is the moment that you have been impatiently waiting for.
The third Brainfinity problem presents you with a truly special and interesting task. Namely, you will have a chance to try your luck in one of the most exciting jobs in the world: stock trading.
A certain amount of money will be at your disposal, and your task will be to invest the money wisely and make a profit.
Don’t worry, the money is fake, not real, so you can enjoy the game without worrying about losing money.
As you have probably seen in movies and series, stock value on the stock exchange rises and drops every minute, which often causes a surge of adrenalin in stockbrokers.
Should you buy a certain stock at that very moment or wait a bit longer? Just a few minutes of hesitation, or hurry, can divide you from a profit measured in millions!
This, however, is not so much a matter of luck, as it greatly depends on finding the right information based on which you create a business strategy.
Your results will be significantly affected by stock market analysis and the investments you make in accordance with this analysis.

At the last year’s competition professional stockbrokers were surprised by the success of Year 6 students
Last year’s Brainfinity competition at the stock exchange ended with an unexpected twist.
The team that almost until the end ranked below the first three suddenly jumped onto the first place and claimed a well-deserved victory.
This sudden twist even managed to surprise the task creators, professional financial consultants who were not sure how the sixth-graders pulled off such an unexpected victory.
As you can conclude from this example, there is not a single verified winning formula at the stock exchange that can easily be learned and applied. It all depends on your analysis of the current situation at the stock exchange, a carefully designed investment strategy, and effective teamwork.
Who knows, maybe this year your team will be the one that comes up with the winning strategy and causes a boom in the stock market!
Special award for the most successful: Teams that gain the best results will have a chance to try their luck as real transaction consultants
During your stock market adventure, just like last year, you will use fake money instead of the real one, but, BUT…
This time we have a special award treat for you!
The teams that earn the highest imaginary profit in this Brainfinity problem will have a chance to take part in the operations of real consulting teams, in an authentic business environment.
Primary and secondary students will be equal with financial experts during the process of investment planning, and it doesn’t end there!
According to the effect that their suggestions make, Brainfinity contestants will be proportionally awarded with a suitable compensation.
You’ve heard us well! Those who make the greatest success at the simulated stock market trade will have a chance to be adequately rewarded for their business performance at the real stock exchange.
Therefore, dear Brainfinity contestants, don’t spare your problem-solving processors; instead, heat them up and get ready for the third Brainfinity problem!
A fun educational blend of statistics, combinatorics, mathematics, and logic
The Brainfinity competition is based on the problem-solving techniques which provide children and youth with a chance to develop their logical-mathematical skills, as well as to apply them in challenging life situations, where they can greatly help them in overcoming obstacles individually and successfully.
In this Brainfinity problem, children practice following and analyzing statistics, applying their logical-mathematical skills onto the complex trading combinatorics, and they perform all this effortlessly, led by the excitement and joy spurred by the healthy competitive atmosphere.
Students do not apply the already given formulas, but instead they approach the task individually, relying on their own thinking and intuition which, as we could see in the case of last year’s winners, can lead to excellent results!
Do not miss a chance to have fun and develop your potentials
During the last Brainfinity competition, due to great interest, stock trading was performed twice.
This year, however, a great number of interesting and complex Brainfinity problems are being prepared intensively, and they will await you later in the contest, so there will probably be no repetitions of the stock exchange competition this year.
Therefore, take advantage of this unique opportunity! Apply now for the competition and commence the challenge that will, regardless of your ranking, definitely give you pleasure, while the best ones among you will also receive an invaluable professional experience!
Courageous stockbrokers, we’re waiting for you!
