In this case, as is often the case in Mathematics, the journey is more important than the destination and although she did get the highest score, this is not as important as the process she went through (AND how well she could articulate it) in getting the answer.

But at the end when you said that no body beat that, is that implying that she won the competition that that student was in? But it is great to see that the younger generation is getting into mathematics. When i was going through school it seemed like no body wanted to take any math courses and they didn’t see the point in taking the math courses.
