Please find the Questions for Day 1 below (Thank you Mr A for sharing it):               Here’s a frail attempt of mine to try solve Problem 1 to celebrate this remarkable Mathematical Competition.                              ...

The whole solution for this functional equation question from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO 2017 problem 2) may be written out in a page or two. However, it is my desire not to write a solution for a competition purpose but rather for the purpose of helping a student understand the details too! The...

Question & Solution in the images below (not my solution) but it is both an interesting problem and one of the toughest IMO problem at that time using The Well Ordering Principle in a very Clever way.

Malaysian IMO Selection Test 2017 (held on 6 November 2016, Junior category) *Included, my solution attempts too during a Math Olympiad Camp at Taiping, Perak between (27 – 30) December 2016.  

A result from antiquity which arose while the ancient mathematicians were trying to “square the circle”. A pleasant surprise (via a student) when I saw it being used in IMO 2014’s Malaysian Team Selection Test Question at the Junior Level. (Both the question & its solution are in the image below)

Here is the question & solution attempt:

Congratulations Malaysia, Well Done! Interesting that our Malaysian team only solved “Problem 1 & 4 only” in “full” to get “full 7 marks” (allocated for each question) while a few getting some headway in other questions. Good job nevertheless Note: Total questions = 6 Each question is worth 7 marks in full Total marks...

Finally: An Analogy (that works) I’ve often found it hard to explain what is Olympiad type Maths to people. Not anymore; I think the analogy below explains it well: Olympiad Maths can be likened to Magic. Its questions are like magical tricks. And, solving it is like decoding a magician’s trick. For example, a...
