Kent Merryfield continues his tradition of posting the Putnam results every year. Before I came to MIT I didn’t understand why this was necessary, but after taking it I learned that the results are only sent to the relevant officials at each school, who distribute the results in a manner of their choosing. This seems to me to be a pretty inefficient system, and I’ve never really understood why it’s done this way, so kudos to Dr. Merryfield for making this information more widely available.

And even if the relevant official is fine with giving out the information, sometimes it’ll arrive during spring break, for example…
Congratulations again! If my calculations aren’t way off, I think I must have missed HM by just a couple of points — that or I was the only person in the top 200 to miss A1 (or I somehow missed the top 200, which makes no sense whatsoever).
Congratulations on the Honorable Mention! Quite an accomplishment indeed.
I am thinking I may have to send an email to our exam proctor… it seems he has completely forgotten to keep us updated.
