This page contains problems and solutions to several USA contests, as well as a few others.

Hardness scale

Here is an index of many problems by my opinions on their difficulty and subject matter. The difficulties are rated from 0 to 50 in increments of 5, using a scale I devised called MOHS. (The acronym stands from "math olympiad hardness scale", pun fully intended).

New: Thanks to the great work of Rustam Turdibaev and Olimjon Olimov, we now have a enormous 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. Anyways, I cannot repeat enough the disclaimer that the ratings (and even philosophy) are my own personal opinion, rather than some sort of indisputable truth.

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. 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.
