Ah, the eternal rumor
My coach always liked to talk about how Solon had Science Olympiad classes (which I guess is a myth?)

For instance, im pretty sure 1st 2nd and 3rd are always blue, red and white

However, I've recieved a green 5th place medal and also a yellow 5th place medal. Is there a color code that most people stick with?
1-3 should always be the same, but I’ve seen variation from 4-8. I usually see;
1. Blue
2. Red
3. White
4. Yellow
5. Green
6-8. Usually varies a lot
From what I've seen, 6th is usually purple, but then there are also the somewhat weird States ribbons.

I know of some teams with SciOly as a class, but generally you need the students to be dedicated to SciOly anyway to convince them to take it as a class.

If I recall correctly, our 6th place ribbons are pink. But other than that, it seems like its pretty standard. The other thing is that 1-3 medals are usually the same pairings of color and fake metal (blue + gold, red + silver, white + bronze).
