``I have set out, like Csoma Sándor
to find each and every Hungarian.
Székelys, there on the stony chests of mountain peaks,
 come, sit next to me.
Hungarians, there on the banks of the Tisza,
Hungarians, there on the banks of the Danube,
Hungarians, there in the Tót mountains
and in the vineyards of Bácska,
 come, sit next to me.''

 

  (from Psalmus Hungaricus, by Jenő Dsida)
 

To commemorate the event, every participant received the above quotation. The participants of the traditional mathematics competition of Hungarian students of the whole Carpathian basin came together in Háromszék. The name of this region of Székely Country, Transsylvania (now in Romania) indicates that it consists of three parts: Sepsiszék, Kézdiszék and Orbai szék. The eleventh competition took place at Székely Mikó Kollégium, Sepsiszentgyörgy from 17 to 20 March, 2002. The opening ceremony was held in the Tamási Áron Theatre. The magnificient concert of the Vox Humana Choir was followed by a warm welcome speech by Judit Bíró, the organizer of the event. Then the representatives of the local administration and the Department of Education, the mayor of the city, Álmos Albert, and the headmaster of the school, Béla Bíró welcomed the guests.
The four-day programme was organized around the idea of learning about the life and mathematics of János Bolyai, born 200 years ago, but it also included unforgettable trips, lectures and sport events. On the evening of 18 March, we had the opportunity to see Madách's The Tragedy of Man at the Tamási Áron Theatre.
The written mathematics competition itself took four hours on 18 March. There were 6 questions set to each age group. The president of the competition board was dr. Antal Bege.
The winners of the competitions received valuable prizes at the closing ceremony at the Tamási Áron Theatre.
