25 Years of Worldwide
Creativity and Still
Going Strong! |
his year's World Finals was monumental -- not only
because it marked 25 years of worldwide creativity at
Odyssey of the Mind, but because it was the largest creative
problem-solving competition ever! There was lots of celebrating
and reminiscing going on during the four-day event, and the
teams’ solutions were as creative as ever.
 |
765 teams competed—an all-time World Finals record! |
| |
Teams came from 34 U.S. States and 14 other countries. |
| |
New York had the most World Champion teams with a
total of four; Pennsylvania had three; China, Poland,
Michigan and Oklahoma each had two; and California,
Kansas, Texas and Virginia each had one. |
| |
Belarus was represented for the first time. |
