A Math contest at my university

In summary, there is a math contest on calculus at a university and the participants are wishing each other luck. The contest only covers freshmen mathematics and the winner may have the opportunity to participate in global contests. One participant has already qualified for the next stage. The conversation also includes discussions about the participant's profile picture and future opportunities for the contest. However, one participant realizes that learning new things is more interesting than becoming a machine for competitions.

I've been puzzling about your "Regards,".
To be consistent with chisigma's $\chi$ $\sigma$, it should be followed by something like $\pi$ $\tau$, which is rather appropriate I guess. ;)

Hey Zaid,

I am sorry to hear this, but I know from experience that sometimes these competitions don't go our way. I hope you found the experience enriching! (Cool)

That's a pity.
Will there be another opportunity?

No , I wouldn't spend my life training for competitions . I prefer to learn new interesting things. I realized that learning new things is by far more interesting than becoming a machine to compute things .
