INMO Scores and Results

Heya! INMO Results are out! Well, I am now a 3 times IMOTCer :D. Very excited to meet every one of you! My INMO score was exactly 26 with a distribution of 17|0|0|0|0|9, which was a fair grading cause after problem 1, I tried problem 6 next. I was hoping for some partials in problem 4 but didn't get any. 

I am so so so excited to meet everyone! Can't believe my olympiad journey is going to end soon.. 

I thought to continue the improvement table I made last year! ( I would still have to add my EGMO performance and also IMO TST performance too)

2018-2019[ grade 8]: Cleared PRMO, Cleared RMO[ State rank 4], Wrote INMO

2019-2020[ grade 9]: Cleared PRMO, Cleared RMO[ State topper], Wrote INMO ( but flopped it)

2020-2021[grade 10]: Cleared IOQM, Cleared INMO [ Through Girl's Quota]

2021-2022[grade 11]: Wrote EGMO 2022 TST[ Rank 8], Qualified for IOQM part B directly, Cleared IOQM-B ( i.e INMO) [Through general quota], 

2022-2023 [grade 12]: Wrote EGMO 2023 TST [ Rank 2], Made EGMO Team and is IND2, Qualified for INMO directly, Cleared INMO [ 12th grade category i.e Top 12 kids in 12th grade], EGMO Silver, Wrote IMOTSTS

    1. Ananda* yes. Idk how u figured out that only 2 were from assam though

    2. I don't exactly know that there are two but I saw two students from Assam eligible for APMO. Also Rege Sir told me last dec that due to the new selection scheme only one student from North East will be eligible to appear in INMO. He was very upset about it cause that meant no INMO camps and all

    3. Yes, very sad about the new way of selection :(

    4. Yeah. Infact I myself am nowhere near as good as you or Ananda and probably wouldn't have qualified for INMO from any other state. But the Training Camps helped me a lot

  2. I also got 26 in INMO in class 12. We barely managed to qualify. :P

    1. Also I am very thankful to your grader that he didn't give you partials for P4. Otherwise, I won't have qualified.

  3. How to get selected in oromys please give some good suggestions!!!

My experiences at EGMO, IMOTC and PROMYS experience

Yes, I know. This post should have been posted like 2 months ago. Okay okay, sorry. But yeah, I was just waiting for everything to be over and I was lazy. ( sorry ) You know, the transitioning period from high school to college is very weird. I will join CMI( Chennai Mathematical  Institue) for bsc maths and cs degree. And I am very scared. Like very very scared. No, not about making new friends and all. I don't care about that part because I know a decent amount of CMI people already.  What I am scared of is whether I will be able to handle the coursework and get good grades T_T Anyways, here's my EGMO PDC, EGMO, IMOTC and PROMYS experience. Yes, a lot of stuff. My EGMO experience is a lot and I wrote a lot of details, IMOTC and PROMYS is just a few paras. Oh to those, who don't know me or are reading for the first time. I am Sunaina Pati. I was IND2 at EGMO 2023 which was held in Slovenia. I was also invited to the IMOTC or International Mathematical Olympiad Training Cam...

How to prepare for INMO

Since INMO is coming up, it would be nice to write a post about it! A lot of people have been asking me for tips. To people who are visiting this site for the first time, hi! I am Sunaina Pati, an undergrad student at Chennai Mathematical Institute. I was an INMO awardee in 2021,2022,2023. I am also very grateful to be part of the India EGMO 2023 delegation. Thanks to them I got a silver medal!  I think the title of the post might be clickbait for some. What I want to convey is how I would have prepared for INMO if I were to give it again. Anyway, so here are a few tips for people! Practice, practice, practice!! I can not emphasize how important this is. This is the only way you can realise which areas ( that is combinatorics, geometry, number theory, algebra) are your strength and where you need to work on. Try the problems as much as you want, and make sure you use all the ideas you can possibly think of before looking at a hint. So rather than fixing time as a measure to dec...

Problems I did this week [Jan8-Jan14]

Yeyy!! I am being so consistent with my posts~~ Here are a few problems I did the past week and yeah INMO going to happen soon :) All the best to everyone who is writing!  I wont be trying any new problems and will simply revise stuffs :) Some problems here are hard. Try them yourself and yeah~~Solutions (with sources) are given at the end! Problems discussed in the blog post Problem1: Let ABC be a triangle whose incircle \omega touches sides BC, CA, AB at D,E,F respectively. Let H be the orthocenter of DEF and let altitude DH intersect \omega again at P and EF intersect BC at L. Let the circumcircle of BPC intersect \omega again at X. Prove that points L,D,H,X are concyclic. Problem 2: Let ABCD be a convex quadrangle, P the intersection of lines AB and CD, Q the intersection of lines AD and BC and O the intersection of diagonals AC and BD. Show that if \angle POQ= 90^\circ then PO is the bisector of \angle AOD ...

Some problems in Olympiad Graph theory!

Hello there! It has been a long time since I uploaded a post here. I recently took a class at the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp 2024, held at CMI. Here are a few problems that I discussed! My main references were Po-Shen Loh's Graph theory Problem set (2008), Adrian tang's Graph theory problem set (2012) and Warut Suksompong's Graph Cycles and Olympiad Problems Handout and AoPS. I also referred to Evan Chen's Graph theory Otis Problem set for nice problems! Text Book Problems which are decent A connected graph G is said to be k-vertex-connected (or k-connected) if it has more than k vertices and remains connected whenever fewer than k vertices are removed. Show that every k-connected graph of order atleast 2k contains a cycle of length at least 2k. We begin with a lemma. Prove that a graph G of order n \geq 2k is k connected then every 2 disjoint set V_1 and V_2 of k distinct vertices each, there exist k...

Geometry ( Finally!!!)

 This is just such an unfair blog.  Like if one goes through this blog, one can notice how dominated  Algebra is!! Like 6 out of 9 blog post is Algebra dominated -_- Where as I am not a fan of Algebra, compared to other genres of Olympiad Math(as of now). And this was just injustice for Synthetic Geo. So this time , go geo!!!!!!!!!!!  These problems are randomly from A Beautiful Journey through Olympiad Geometry.  Also perhaps I will post geo after March, because I am studying combi.  Problem:  Let ABC be an acute triangle where \angle BAC = 60^{\circ}. Prove that if the Euler’s line of \triangle ABC intersects AB and AC at D and E, respectively, then \triangle ADE is equilateral. Solution:  Since \angle A=60^{\circ} , we get AH=2R\cos A=R=AO. So \angle EHA=\angle DOA. Also it's well known that H and O isogonal conjugates.\angle OAD =\angle EAH. By ASA congruence, we get AE=AD. Hence \triangle ADE is equilateral....

Introduction

  Hey Everyone!! This is my first Blog post. So let me give a brief introduction about myself. I am Sunaina Pati. I love solving Olympiad math problems,  learning crazy astronomical facts , playing hanabi and anti-chess, listening to Kpop , love making diagrams in Geogebra and  teaching other people maths 😊 . I love geometry , number theory and Combinatorics . I am starting this blog to keep myself a bit motivated in doing studies 😎 . Right now, I am planning to write walkthroughs on some of the best problems I tried over the week which can refer for hints 'cause solutions contain some major spoilers and one learns a lot while solving the problem on his own rather than seeing solutions . Also, there will be some reviews about Kpop songs, study techniques, my day to day lifestyles,exam reviews and ofc some non-sense surprises 😂.  I am planning to  try  posting every week on Sundays or Saturdays ( most probably) ! Though there is no guarantee about when I ...

Reflecting on past

INMO Scores are out!! I am now a two times INMO awardee :) I got 16|0|1, so 17 in total! Yes, 16 in P1 T_T. I was thinking I would lose marks because of the way I wrote.  Lemme tell ya'll what happened that day but first I should share a few thoughts I had before the exam. My thoughts Honestly, my preparation for INMO was bad. In fact, I should say I didn't work hard at all. As I have said earlier, I had lost all my hopes for INMO and Olympiads as a whole after EGMO TSTs happened.  Art by Jelena Janic EGMO TSTs i.e European Girl's Mathematical Olympiad Team selection Tests 2022.  Literally my thoughts after EGMO TSTs I feel very ashamed to share but I got 1 mark in my EGMO TSTs. Tests in which I literally gave my whole life. I did so many ISLs ( like SO MANY), I mocked EGMO 2021 TST where my score was 28/42 and I perfected Day 2. 1 mark in the TST just showed my true potential. There are way better people than me in olys. A friend even said to me, "If I wouldn't...

How to prepare for RMO?

"Let's wait for this exam to get over".. *Proceeds to wait for 2 whole fricking years!  I always wanted to write a book recommendation list, because I have been asked so many times! But then I was always like "Let's wait for this exam to get over" and so on. Why? You see it's pretty embarrassing to write a "How to prepare for RMO/INMO" post and then proceed to "fail" i.e not qualifying.  Okay okay, you might be thinking, "Sunaina you qualified like in 10th grade itself, you will obviously qualify in 11th and 12th grade." No. It's not that easy. Plus you are talking to a very underconfident girl. I have always underestimated myself. And I think that's the worst thing one can do itself. Am I confident about myself now? Definitely not but I am learning not to self-depreciate myself little by little. Okay, I shall write more about it in the next post describing my experience in 3 different camps and 1 program.  So, I got...

Let's complex bash Part 1

I have to learn complex bash. And almost everyone knows that I am notes taking girl so thought why not make a post on complex bash ( so that I don't get emotionally demotivated lol).😇 There wasn't any need for learning complex bash, but it was in my dream checklist i.e " To learn a bash." And since I am not loaded with exams, I think it's high time to learn Bash and new topics.  Also if anyone from the "anti-bash" community is reading, sorry in advance and R.I.P.  Notes:- 1. Complex numbers are of the form z=a+ib, where a and b are real numbers and i^2=-1. 2. In polar form, z=r(\cos \theta+~~i\sin\theta)=~~re^{i\theta}, where r=~~|z|=~~\sqrt{a^2+b^2}, which is called the magnitude. 3. Here we used euler's formula i.e \cos \theta+~~i\sin\theta=~~e^{i\theta}. 4. The \theta is called the argument of z, denored \arg z. ( \theta can be considered in \mod 360 and it is  measured anti-clockwise). 5. The complex conjugate of z is ...
