    important tidbit of information :
    If you can't solve a problem, find the solution, add it to your strategy, rinse and repeat until you find so many different approaches that you can simply solve everything (about that one problem probably)

    Fun fact: Chinese team at least get 4 golds in every IMO yet most gold a participant from Chinese has achieved is 2. This is because they dont get multiple years to join this event. If they do, all those name in hall of fame will be full of chinese names.

      Isn't it also because they choose those with the highest chance to score a perfect ? So unless one is an absolute machine, China is so huge there's always someone younger, more hungry, better.

      I've never been in any olympiads or anything, but what I do is I just play around with a system, and by doing that, a lot of the time questions arise naturally. I would probably do that for general problems, but of course also the Art of Problem Solving is nice for preparation

    No idea why the obsession with idolizing people who literally only seem to be good at sitting IMO exams These individuals do literally nothing to advance mathematics in any meaningful way and instead just treat it as some kind of trivial exercise in self-indulgent eristics. The Greeks would be appalled.

      I suggest you read a paper by Gaule and Agarwal that goes over this exact topic, establishing correlation between IMO scores and future contributions to mathematics. To quote one of the remarks,
      "Strong performers at the IMO have a disproportionate ability to produce frontier mathematical knowledge compared to PhD graduates and even PhD graduates from elite schools".

      It certainly feels wrong to idolize these KIDS. There is no association between sitting in exams and your mathematical expertise. People might spite you with evidences of success of these people. However, the mathematics is not the inherent reason for their success. It's their own cultivated ability in heuristic arts of niche maths. These exams are attempts to nurture the virtue of cultivated abilities, that is acquired through years of hardwork. Those abilities are useful in any field of studies they might pursue. It doesn't even necessarily need to be mathematical. What Greek would find appalling is the civilizations that were sprouted from them are not performing in those virtues.
