Curious about the solutions to the Qualifying Quiz, or looking for feedback on your own Quiz solutions? Based on popular demand in 2010, we created a new system for discussing the Quiz problems: an Art of Problem Solving "Math Jam" devoted to the Qualifying Quiz. The Jam is an online, interactive conversational forum, facilitated by a Mathcamp instructor, to discuss the Qualifying Quiz. In addition to the solutions themselves, we talk about how you would come up with a solution and how to write up your solution so that all of the necessary pieces are in place. The event is a real-time discussion where participants help guide us through the problems and are able to ask questions throughout. There is also a transcript of each Jam, which we will post here afterwards in case you missed it.
To attend, you must have an account at Art of Problem Solving at www.artofproblemsolving.com. Follow their instructions for "Math Jams":

We have not yet set a date for the 2012 Jam: stay tuned!
