Premier USA Contests

USA Math Olympiad (USAMO)#

Despite being part of the USA team selection process, these are not the “official” solution files, rather my own personal notes. In particular, I tend to be more terse than other sources.

My understanding is that the internal problems and solutions, from the actual USA(J)MO committee, are copyrighted by MAA. To my knowledge they are not published anywhere. The Math Magazine has recently resumed publishing yet another version of the problems and solutions of the olympiad.

• Taiwan TST 2014 Round 3 (problems)

NIMO / OMO#

In high school, I and some others ran two online contests called NIMO (National Internet Math Olympiad) and OMO (Online Math Open). Neither contest is active at the time of writing (April 2021) but I collected all the materials and put them in a Google Drive link since the websites for those contests is not currently online. Most of the problems are short-answer problems.

Hardness scale#

Here is an index of many problems by my opinions on their difficulty and subject. The difficulties are rated from 0 to 50 in increments of 5, using a scale I devised called MOHS.¹

In 2020, Rustam Turdibaev and Olimjon Olimov, compiled a 336-problem index of recent problems by subject and MOHS rating. In addition, the linked file also contains a hyperlink to each of the corresponding solution threads on Art of Problem-Solving.

This document will probably see a lot of updates. Anyway, I cannot repeat enough the disclaimer that the ratings (and even philosophy) are my own personal opinion, rather than some sort of indisputable truth.
