Lynda had once been a seasoned mathematician who had spent years honing her craft in her late thirties. But during her moment of triumph at a major competition, she suddenly collapsed. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself transported back to the 1980s as a little girl with the same name.
This young Lynda had an older brother, Maverick, who was preparing to attend the selection rounds for the International Mathematical Olympiad. Following Maverick into the competition venue, Lynda used her advanced mathematical knowledge from her previous life to her advantage. She publicly humiliated the town leader and his son by exposing their cheating schemes, which they had devised to manipulate the results to their advantage. Not only did her actions reveal the truth, but they also earned her a coveted spot in the city-level contest.
