The Engineering Probability and Statistics Competition (EPSC) puts participants through a rigorous three-stage mathematics competition, putting their knowledge and creativity to the test. For the 2017-2018 contest, 22 competitors went through a preliminary round; from there, a smaller group passed on to the semi-final round. In the end, only eight competitors moved on to the final round, which lasted three hours to simulate a regular final-exam scenario.
