Joshie Khohayting '28 and Daniel Li '28 highlighted excellent results for Ransom Everglades in a pair of recent math competitions, as both earned perfect scores on a national middle school math exam and also finished in the top 2.5 percent on a 10th-grade math exam known as the American Mathematics Competition 10 (AMC 10). RE's middle and upper school math teams also claimed a host of top-five finishes in a pair of regional high school math competitions in late January and early February.
Khohayting and Li were among seven RE students – Andrew Gedde '25, Elliot Gross '24, Robert Li '26, Solon Sun '25 and Minnie Zhou '26 were the others – who earned top scores on the AMC 10 or AMC 12 tests to advance to the American Invitational Mathematics Exams.
Khohayting and Li were also among six middle school students who finished in the top 10 percent (National Honor Roll) of all participants in the Noetic Learning Math Contest, a semi-annual national problem-solving contest. The others were Alex Tevelow '28, Maxie Wu '28, Maya Lee-Schonfeld '30 and Sofiya Dewan '29.
