My son was selected to join Math Olympiad Training in his school.

According to him, 25 students in his class were selected for the training. I have randomly read through the pages under this topic and still have no clue how this works. Can someone enlighten me on what this competition is about? There seems to be different organizers for different competition or they are the same organizer/competition?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, MathIzzzFun. Very nice solutions! Your skills are very impressive! Really appreciated your help.


Presumably, you have represented Singapore in the IMO before? Or you have at least some similar experience?

Nice one, MathIzzzFun!


I also have lots of interests in Mathematics, and also competitive maths and brainteaser in particular. They tend to stretch the mind.

After reading your solutions, I would have want to ask you to be my teacher so that I could learn from the Master if I am still in school.

Just out of curiousity, are you also a Maths Olympiad trainer, just like some of other people in this forum? (Even if you are not, you are definitely more than qualified to be one.) Or even a National Team trainer?

thanks... 帽子太大了

..I do not conduct formal Maths Olympiad training but I incorporate MO techniques/strategies and MO-styled questions in my tuition sessions..

cheers.

Hi all, pls help on the following 2 qns:


1) If x & y are positive integers which satisfy x² - 8x - 1001y² = 0, what is
the smallest possible value of x + y?

2a) If y = |x| + |x + 1| + |x - 1|, find the minimum value of y.

b) Find the area, in square units, enclosed by the figure whose boundary
points satisfy |x|+ |y|=4

TIA.
