Too geeky for the Olympics?
Don't like sport? Here's the answer. The Mathematical Olympiad is currently running in Athens, concluding on 18 July. Test your wits against classic past problems. Suddenly, athletics begins to seem interesting...

Can anyone here determine if the year 1959 problems are more difficult/easier than the year 2000 problems? Also, for those who want to realize they really suck at math: Putnam Exam.

Oh so many problems ! That's great ! Thanks Plegmund, I know what I am going to do this afternoon now.

Yeah, don't think I'd qualify for this Olympiad either. Is there one where you drink beer and laugh at people, then read for a few hours and have a nap?

given my stance on the evil hoo doo that some dark entities call mathematics, there is absolutely no way I'm posting in this thread.
