2013 Putnam Exam Results Congratulations to UM-Flint's top scorers on the 2013 Putnam Exam. The exam, consisting of 12 incredibly difficult problems over a span of six hours, is taken by thousands of elite mathematics students the world over. So difficult is the exam that the median score of all participants is a score of 1 out of a possible 120 points. So it is with great pride that we announce the results of our top students Alex Carignan (8 points), Michael Schutz (9 points), and Luke James (29 points). In particular, Luke's score places him 415th out of 4,277 participants, and so in the published Top 500 list published by the Putnam Exam committee.
