**** Mathematical Kangaroo (also known as Kangaroo challenge, or jeu-concours Kangourou in French) is an international mathematics competition in over 77 countries. There are six levels of participation, ranging from grade 1 to grade 12. The competition is held annually. The challenge consists of problems in multiple-choice form that are not standard notebook problems and come from a variety of topics. Besides basic computational skills, they require inspiring ideas, perseverance, creativity and imagination, logical thinking, and other problem-solving strategies. It had over 6 million participants from 57 countries in 2014. In 2022, it has 84 participating countries and claims to be the largest competition for school students in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Kangaroo
