Mathletes of the world unite!

On March 14th (World Mathematics day - 3/14 in honor of pi) students from around the world came together in an attempt to break the previous world record for the number of correct questions answered during a one day period. Nearly 39 million questions were answered during the day-long question-answering blitz on VMathLive with a good chunk of those (some 330,000) coming from a handful of students vying for top honors in the individual level competition.

There's something really cool about kids from all over the world coming together to do something - anything really. But coming together to do something educational is all the more amazing.
