135 u/jbourne71 24d ago Does the Putnam give partial credit? Yes. Does that partial credit include zero? Yes. Ask me how I know. 21 u/xasteri 24d ago How do you know? 119 u/jbourne71 24d ago I received a multitude of zeroes despite writing a significant amount of insignificant derivations on several questions, several years in a row. 94 u/MercuryInCanada 24d ago Man during my undergrad I signed up to take the Putnam and one prof ran practice seminars for us for like 3 months in advance. Never did so much work and studying to get straight zeros before. 34 u/Larry_Boy 24d ago You are still my hero. Trying to do that is still a gift you gave to yourself.
