(In this round each of the 15-member team receives a question numbered 1 to 15. Student no. 2 can only answer his question if he receives a correct answer from student 1. Similarly, student 14 will only be able to answer his problem if he gets the correct answer from student no. 15. The process continues until student 8 receives the answer of student 9 and student 7. Only the answer of student 8 will be submitted and corrected. The fastest team to give the correct answer wins. )
