How do you approach the problem with RMO?
For PRMO, focus on the problems that relate to the topics that you are best in. Be damn careful in every step, especially when you fill in the number bubbles. Out of 30, aim to at least try to solve 15 and get 12 right. Do not waste time on problems that are way too out of reach just because you think you can.

How can I become really good at solving math Olympiad problems?
There is no shortcut to become really good at solving math Olympiad problems. I once coached a student who later achieved a remarkable 2 nd place (internationally) and Gold medal at a recent IMO. You may know who I’m referring to. What’s his secret? He spends an average of several hours a day (often up to 4 or 5 hours) solving Olympiad problems.
How many hours a day do Olympiad students spend in solving problems?
He spends an average of several hours a day (often up to 4 or 5 hours) solving Olympiad problems. Over time, these hours put into solving problems will help you amass a huge vocabulary of Olympiad tricks, techniques, theorems and lemmas, and hone your problem solving intuition. Doing math Olympiad is very much like playing soccer.
What makes a good olympiad problem?
A good Olympiad problem is one that uses very elementary techniques in very clever ways. It should not require the use of any very advanced math theorems, beyond the usual handful (e.g. Fermat’s Little Theorem, Ceva’s and Menalaus, AM-GM, etc.).
Do you like bashing geometry problems?
Algebraically bashing geometry problems (e.g. cartesian coordinates, complex numbers, barycentric coordinates, trigonometry etc) can technically work and be useful. However, I really do not like bashing for a few reasons.
