I simultaneously feel proud and shamed for making that happen! No hard feelings, I hope.

  No hard feelings. :-) More than anything else, I'm amused that people here care so much about the Putnam -- I personally consider winning the Putnam to be a relatively minor accomplishment.

    It's a good signal since it is hard to exaggerate (like you can with claims like "I was the first person to X" for vague X) and very simple to describe. Although maybe I am biased ;-)

    Those of us who pride ourselves at merely having gotten a non-zero score on the Putnam think otherwise :-)

    And here I thought my scoring on it the three times I took it was an accomplishment (like you my first score was probably my best, as it was my freshman year, and my high school didn't offer calculus - I studied it on my own).
