RANDOM STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS
Gniezno, 7-11 August, 2017Random Run
is a run for a random distance, which is a sum of the outcomes of two dice being tossed. Random experiment: independent sequential tossing of two dice.Rules:
There are two dice. Before the start one die is tossed and the runners run a number of laps indicated. Meanwhile the second die is tossed and all runners continue to run an additional number of laps being announced. The number of laps in the second round is shown when the leading runners are finishing their last lap of the first round. To avoid any confusion, each runner will be assigned a starting number and a coach. Your coach will make sure that you have ran the appropriate number of laps by telling you the number of laps to go every time you pass him. You will get to know your coach before the run.Age Groups
On popular demand, we introduce three age categories within both male and female runners: Open, Masters (40 years old and older, i.e. born on or before August 9, 1977) and Seniors (60 years old and older, i.e., born on or before August 9, 1957). Please, bring your birth certificate or other proof of age; otherwise, your age will be judged by your appearance. If you are eligible for more than one category, you will have to pick one after the race (but before the award ceremony).Results:
