Foreword

Avant-Propos

Our congratulations go to all who participated in this year's Pascal, Cayley and Fermat Contests. This year's Contests were great successes, with averages of 101.97, 99.19 and 97.26 across the three Contests. The number of eligible contestants with perfect papers on the three Contests were 105, 39 and 26. There was a mistake in Problem 25 on this year's Pascal Contest, and so every student was given credit for this problem. You will see that the results for this question are removed throughout this report.

As always, we would like to thank the hard-working Problems Committees. Most of the members of these Committees are active secondary school teachers from across Canada who volunteers their time and contribute dozens of hours of expertise. Without their intriguing and sometimes amusing problems, these Contests would not be possible.

We would also like to thank all participants, both teachers and students. This year's contests were written under a variety of different situations, in many cases supervised by parents and guardians who wanted to ensure that students around the world had the ability to participate despite the continuing challenges of the global pandemic. Teachers deserve extra appreciation for coordinating students both in their schools and writing remotely ? no easy task! Despite the circumstances, we hope that the papers provided you with some interesting mathematics to think about and play with. Thank you for your support! Please continue to encourage your colleagues and fellow students to become involved in our activities.

Nos f?elicitations vont `a tous les participants du Concours Pascal, Cayley et Fermat de cette ann?ee. Les Concours de cette ann?ee retentissaient de succ`es, avec des moyennes de 101,97, 99,19 et 97,26 `a travers les trois Concours. Le nombre de candidats eligibles poss?edant un concours parfait ?etait de 105, 39 et 26. Une erreur s'est gliss?ee dans le probl`eme 25 du concours Pascal de cette ann?ee. Tous les ?el`eves ont donc rec?u les points pour ce probl`eme. Vous verrez que les r?esultats pour cette question ont ?et?e supprim?es de ce rapport.

Nous aimerions surtout remercier les Comit?es de probl`emes pour leur dur travail. La plupart des membres de ces Comit?es sont des enseignant(e)s d'?ecole secondaire actifs d'un bout `a l'autre du Canada qui offre leur temps et contribuent des douzaines d'heures d'expertise. Sans leurs probl`emes perspicaces et amusants, ces Concours ne seraient pas possibles.

Nous aimerions remercier aussi tous les participants incluant les enseignants et les ?etudiants. Les concours de cette ann?ee ont ?et?e r?edig?es dans des situations tr`es diverses, souvent sous la supervision de parents, tutrices et tuteurs qui voulaient s'assurer que les ?el`eves du monde entier puissent participer malgr?e les difficult?es persistantes de la pand?emie mondiale. Les enseignantes et les enseignants m?eritent une reconnaissance particuli`ere pour avoir coordonn?e les ?el`eves `a la fois dans leurs ?ecoles et `a distance ? ce qui n'est pas une t^ache facile ! Malgr?e les circonstances, nous esp?erons que ces concours ont fourni des math?ematiques int?eressantes qui vous ont amus?es et pouss?es `a r?efl?echir. Merci pour votre soutien continu?e!
