"Kiran, are you feeling any better now?" asked Mr Andrew as he approached him.
"I'm fine Mr Andrew, you don't have to worry about me" replied Kiran while still resting his head.
"The third round is about to start now" said Mr Andrew causing Kiran to stand up from his chair to walk to his podium.
Seeing as everyone participating was now present, the judges quickly start the third round with a boy picking a number.
On seeing the question on the screen, the boy quickly start solving as he knew the timer was counting and won't be waiting for him. Giving out his answer, he waited quietly for the judge to call the result.

"Miss Jane, go ahead and pick your number" said the examiner as it was now the turn of Queens Royal.
Knowing that she's the last candidate in her school was making her feel cautious about carelessly picking a number, because that would be the end of the competition for them if she was to fail.
Picking a number after long consideration, the question was then put on the screen for her to solve. Looking at the question on the screen, she couldn't take her eyes off it for close to ten seconds before facing her material to solve.
'What kind of question is this' said Jane inwardly as she quickly start solving before the time could runs out.
Seeing as the time was almost up, she quickly called an answer even though she knew it wasn't correct because she haven't finish solving.
