📌 About the Event

The Bahrain Mental Math Olympiad (BMMO) is a high speed competitive event designed to identify the fastest and most accurate calculators in the region. Unlike standard math exams, BMMO uses a gamified, time-pressured format where participants solve up to 100 questions in as little as 12 minutes. The competition is unique for its use of the Arena by LiveMCL app, requiring students to bring their own devices (smartphones or tablets) to the venue. It is a dual-purpose event: it crowns the National Champions of Bahrain and provides a direct, high-speed qualification path for the Mental Math World Cup Grand Finale, which takes place online later in the year.
