The annual Linguistics Olympiad took place at the College on 4 February, and the results are in. As in previous years, it was another challenging paper, and 25 of Lancing’s strongest linguists competed in solving puzzles based on Ancient Egyptian, Cherokee, Icelandic, Armenian, and other world languages. Students exercised their problem-solving skills to the full, demonstrating excellence in critical and analytical thinking while also having fun learning about new languages.
In the Intermediate Category, 3rd place was awarded to Evie H, 2nd place to Izzy C, and 1st place to Ciara H - congratulations!
In the Advanced Category, 3rd place and the Bronze Certificate were awarded to Helen R, 2nd place and the Bronze Certificate to Enoch L, and 1st place along with the Silver Certificate to Euan C - congratulations!
This is an extraordinary achievement, as the Bronze Prize is awarded to the top 20% in the country and the Silver Prize to the top 10%.
Well done to the students below who participated in the Linguistics Olympiad this year. Mr Drozdov hopes there will be lots of you taking part next year!
