4. What is the format of the ARML competition?
   Teams of 15 students from a variety of regions compete on a national level. The competition is comprised of the following events:
   • Power Round.
     The entire team works together to write complete solutions to a series of
     questions focused on a single topic, often involving proofs. 50 minutes.
   • Team Round.
     The entire team works on 10 short-answer questions. 20 minutes.
   • Individual Round.
     Each member of the team works on their own on 4 sets of two short-answer questions. 10 minutes per pair of questions.
   • Relay Round.
     Each team is divided into 5 3-person relay teams. Two relay sets are given, where the second and third person on each team is given a question dependent on the answer for the question of the person in front of them. Only the third person’s answer counts. 6 minutes per set.

   The team’s score is the total of points accrued through the rounds of the competition.
