Hmmm... Since when is the Putnam exam a '''two-day''' exam? I administered it several times and every time it was a one-day event (as far as I remember, it is held on some Saturday in the beginning of December). Also, if I don't mistake, the sittings were 3 hours long each (A part and B part) Has anything changed since the last year? --[[User:Fedja|Fedja]] 18:01, 21 June 2006 (EDT) | Hmmm...
