Odyssey of the Mind was, is, and always shall be about finding new ways to solve problems. Sometimes those are Long-Term Problems that allow us to take many months to understand a problem and generate solutions. Sometimes they’re Spontaneous problems with tight limitations and short time frames that keep us on our toes and test how we handle ourselves in the moment. COVID-19 has appeared as our biggest spontaneous problem and as a solution we have decided to move 2020 World Finals from the campus of Iowa State University to the virtual world of the internet. This is a continuation of World Finals, not a cancellation, with a change of venue and procedures in response to a changing world.
