Art" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Chapters_on_the_Mathematical_Art).
During 2008 to 2016, NCC has tested 716
participants, many of them further wrote various Canadian math
contests, and have been listed on honour rolls of those
contests for 382 times including 76 times of golden standards,
gold, silver and bronze medals, perfect scores, national
and regional champions.
