The M3 Challenge is held annually on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in late February or March. Students choose which day they wish to work. Students also choose what time to work thanks to flexible work time. All teams will work in or convert their local time to Eastern Standard Time and download the problem anytime over Challenge weekend to begin their consecutive 14 hours of work. Once the problem is downloaded, the clock starts and it cannot be paused; students should download the problem with at least 14 hours before the firm end of Challenge weekend to have use of the full 14 hours allowed. They can work from any ___location they choose.
