Ever wondered what mathematical torture looks like? BEHOLD! 🧠💥 Three frogs on a dodecagon? Insects with no free will? Finding primes that satisfy bizarre conditions that would make even Euler twitch? These aren't math problems—they're psychological warfare with numbers! My favorite is "find the determinant of [insert goofy ahh matrix]" because nothing says "I hate you" like a matrix that requires four blackboards and the sacrifice of your weekend. And don't forget the obligatory "current year" problems! Because mathematicians can't resist being topical once every millennium. It's like they're screaming "WE'RE HIP! WE KNOW WHAT YEAR IT IS!"

Thought Of A Question For An Olympiad

Thought Of A Question For An Olympiad
The winning strategy? Just unplug Bob's computer mid-game. 🔌 This is what happens when math olympiad writers try to be clever but forget they're asking a question about a zero-sum perfect information game with a known first-player advantage. The question is basically saying "here's a game where white moves first - prove white can win" which is mathematically fascinating but practically unsolvable without additional constraints. In chess theory, whether white has a forced win remains one of the great unsolved problems. So unless Alice has a quantum computer running Stockfish 42, she might want to consider my unplug strategy instead.

Nothing prepares you for the brutal reality check of chemistry competitions. You show up thinking "I got an A in chem class, how hard could it be?" Then BAM—you're facing questions about propane combustion heating entire oceans while surrounded by kids who've been solving thermodynamic equations since kindergarten. That 22% on the individual exam hits different when the kid next to you casually mentions their fifth gold medal. The chemical equation for this experience? Enthusiasm + Reality → Crushed Dreams + Existential Crisis.
