In Hungary, the competition is a major event for students from Grades 1 to 12 No Selection:
The story begins not in Europe, but in Australia in the 1970s. At the time, the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) was incredibly popular, attracting tens of thousands of students. It was a massive success story in the Asia-Pacific region.
An international multiple-choice math competition originating in France (1981), now in over 70 countries. The Hungarian version ( Kenguru ) follows the same format: 24–30 questions in 75 minutes, with increasing difficulty. kenguru matematika verseny

It teaches "thinking outside the box"—a skill vital for STEM careers. Low Pressure:
The Kenguru Matematika Verseny has successfully democratized mathematical competition in Hungary, turning what was once an elite, anxiety-inducing activity into a widely anticipated annual event. While it does not replace rigorous, proof-based competitions for selecting top talent, it serves a vital complementary role: fostering curiosity, reducing fear, and normalizing mathematical play. For a country seeking to maintain its mathematical heritage in an age of declining PISA scores (Hungary’s math PISA score dropped from 490 in 2015 to 481 in 2022), Kenguru offers a scalable, low-cost intervention that rekindles intrinsic motivation.
