# They are not referring to the overall places. Moreover, In ISMC 2014, we did not set any prizes solely based on the results of Group Event.

(b) Statistics

# Although we have set a list of markings guidelines before the contest begins, higher mean or median does not necessarily reflect easier difficulty, as different markers have their own requirements or restrictions on writings & calculations. (BUT, each question is marked by only 1 marker to ensure the fairness.)
