Reasoning
Seeing the pattern, understanding the relationship, and finding the way forward.
3, 7, 15, 31 … what comes next, and why?

An Olympiad to find the early signs of genius.
Not how much a child has memorised, but how they think, tinker and reason. We are preparing students for tomorrow, to become the people who make the decisions, not only the ones who follow them.

MeasuresThinking, not memory

Most exams measure memory. We are looking for something rarer.
A child who asks why the answer works. A child who takes a problem apart to see what happens. A child who finds a second route when the first one fails. These are early signs of a mind that will lead, and most tests never see them.
This Olympiad is built to notice them.
What most exams rewardWhat we look for
Facts recalled on demandOriginal thinking
Methods practised until automaticTinkering with a problem until it gives
Speed of recallDepth of reasoning
One right answerKnowing why it is right
Tomorrow needs decision makers, not only employees.
The jobs our students will hold have not been invented yet. What will matter is judgement: weighing a problem, choosing a path, standing behind it. That is what we want to find early, and help grow.
Four signals we look for.
Every question is written to reveal how a student gets to an answer. Most draw on more than one of these.
Scientific curiosity
Observing, asking, testing, and working out why things happen.
Why does ice float, when most solids sink?
Tinkering
Taking a problem apart, trying, failing, and trying again until it gives.
Three moves, one rule. Can you reach the goal?
Computational thinking
Thinking in steps, spotting what repeats, and designing a solution.
Repeat four times: move, turn. What shape is drawn?
Three levels, one way of thinking.
A Class 2 child and a Class 11 student should not sit the same paper. Each group gets questions set for its age.
1–4
Foundation
Noticing, sorting, comparing, playing with ideas.
5–8
Developing
Building a chain of reasoning, then testing it.
9–12
Advanced
Unfamiliar problems that reward depth over recall.

For parents
Marks show what a child has learned. This shows how they think.
- Problems your child has not seen before, set for their age.
- Recognition for reasoning, not only for recall.
- A clearer picture of strengths, and what to work on.
- Designed to sit alongside school, not replace it.
We ask only for a guardian's name and contact, the student's class, and a city or school, with the guardian's consent. Read the privacy notice.
For schools
Give your students a stage for the kind of thinking that rarely shows up on a report card.
- An additional platform for reasoning and STEM understanding.
- Runs online, alongside everything your school already does.
