Written by Christina Johnson

Bright young minds gathered at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft Saturday armed with pencils and calculators to tackle the school's 42nd annual Christian Jones Mathematics Contest. 

The 250 students from 31 schools had one hour to answer 20 multiple-choice algebra and geometry problems. According to the school official who helped brainstorm the questions, it was no easy task.  

"It's the first time nobody scored above a 90, so it was truly a difficult test," said CBA Mathematics Chair Patrick Melosh.
