I've been selected to represent my country (Morocco) in the 2024 IMO after acing at the TST. I've put so much time and effort in, and spent the last three years preparing for this event. Just imagine one second being so much excited to get to that event, but for a very dumb reason, you couldn't attend the IMO, the most prestigious mathematical competition in the world! Do you know why? because my country didn't assume its responsibility to get us our visa to travel to England and didn't apply for them until the LAST DAY! They were expecting to get them in the SAME DAY but of course they didn't. It's the first time it happens in 42 years. Me and my team were left devastated, and our mentors were so disappointed. it's a shame for my country to waste such great talents. Shame on you Morocco. 😔😔😢😢
@@hazzabarq8929 Simply by working challenging problems from JBMO, china TST, USAMO and past IMO... Of course you need to learn some tricks and theory. I would recommend you the website www.mathraining.be which is a really good website for learning math theory.
I think the problem was fairly nice but its very susceptible for very bashy solutions - and when you sit in a contest and see that a certain approach works you'd rather write that one fown and move on instead of trying to search for a nicer one. The bash I quickly came up with: Write a=k+c, for c in (0,1) then fo cases on c where we bound it between 1/m and 1/(m+1) and then you can do cases kn parity on k and m, so in total 4 cases, and get contradictions for all but k odd and m = 1, then you can write c=1-b and do again 2 cases on b (bound it again by reciprocals) and finally get contradictions
hey, just solved the problem, about to watch the video ;). But I'm curious - where can I find the problemu? They're not available at the imo website yet
P3 was very hard, none of the romanians did it and not even all of the China team have it. I spoke to a guy from my team who got it, and he basically wrote a 7 page proof with some logic that I only partially understood, his approach is very complicated and im also very interested in whats the official solution
I think it is good, I just turned 14 I’m also able to solve p1 or p4 geometry because it is mostly angle chasing and some few lemmas that you need to learn. If you want a very good book to learn for junior and high school level in geometry I use the book that my mentor made it is called “a beautiful journey through Olympiad geometry” and it is also free😊
Yes I also know that book but there are some advanced problems and I’m searching for intermediate ones and if you are 14 and doing imo problems man it’s so good ❤ and also can you give me a tip where are some intermediate problems in this book? 😊
@@user-qk8wg6cj4kkaathank you so much ❤. As my mentor told me for beginners(I mean JBMO level) and a bit intermediate level are the chapter from 1-12. 12 may be a bit of controversial because it teaches you about trigonometry that you don’t need in JBMO level because you only need angle chasing. But if you learn these chapters and do the proposed problems I think you will have a very good base in geometry😊
@@dijarademi133 thanks for reply but I am bit confused if I need jbmo level geometry then can you tell me what part is that in this book like what page or what chapter
@@MariusGjika they were just like algebra blud. Sometimes problems can be count both such as combinatorial geometry problems. P1 and p2 was like that too
