The '''Cyprus Mathematical Olympiad''' ([[Greek language|Greek ]]: '''Κυπριακή Μαθηματική Ολυμπιάδα'''; '''CMO''') is a [[Cyprus]] [[mathematics]] competition for students in every grade, organized by the [[Cyprus Mathematical Society]]. There is one set of problems for every grade in primary school (Dhitmotiko): 4th, 5th and 6th, another set for junior high-school ([[gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]]) and another for high-school ([[Lyceum]]).
==Procedure==
Students must answer 30 [[multiple choice]] mathematics problems. Each correct answer gives 4 points, each wrong answer subtracts 1 point and no answer gives no points (but no points are lost). This means there is a [[penalty]] for wrong answers. Each set of problems is rewarded separately. The results are not announced except for the top 6/100 contestants of each set of problems, and they are rewarded in the ratio 1:2:3 for gold, silver and bronze metal respectively.
That means:
*Gold medals will be awarded to the top 1/100 of the contestants.
*Silver medals will be awarded to the next 2/100.
*Bronze medals will be awarded to the next 3/100.
