Pre­lim­in­ary res­ults and solu­tions to problems

April 20, 2025

The res­ults of the work veri­fic­a­tion have appeared in your per­son­al account. Works in Rus­si­an have been veri­fied, with the excep­tion of a small num­ber. In some cases, when the points for a task are set, 0 points may be dis­played as the total for tech­nic­al reas­ons — do not pay atten­tion to this. We also attach the solu­tions and cri­ter­ia for check­ing the Olympiad.

If you want to see a scan of your work for fur­ther appeal, please request a scan of the work through your per­son­al account no later than April 24. After that, if you dis­agree with any of the grades, you can for­mu­late an appeal with­in two days after receiv­ing the scans (indic­at­ing the task num­bers and the reas­ons why you think the score should be revised).

You can request your work from the jury by e‑mail solv@​formulo.​org (requests via the organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee’s e‑mail will not be con­sidered). In the sub­ject line, write: «Request for work»; In the let­ter itself, you must indic­ate the region of par­ti­cip­a­tion, class and par­ti­cipant code. Without this data, the work will not be sent. Please note that the work will be sent to you with­in 24 hours from the moment of the request.

Regis­tra­tion for the final stage

February 25, 2025

Dear par­ti­cipants!
Regis­tra­tion is open for the final stage of the Olympi­ad, which will take place on March 9 from 10 to 14 loc­al time (Time and date may vary in some coun­tries, exact inform­a­tion can be found in the list of ven­ues in your per­son­al account. The time in the inform­a­tion sys­tem is Moscow time. We recom­mend check­ing the inform­a­tion a couple of days before the Olympi­ad, as the organ­izers may adjust the start time of the Olympiad).

To select a ven­ue in your per­son­al account, you need to:
1) go to the «Olympi­ads» section;
2) find the Olympi­ad «Math­em­at­ics 2024–25» in the table of Olympiads;
3) click the green «Open» but­ton under the words «Final Stage» next to your class number;
4) put a check mark next to the appro­pri­ate ven­ue. You don’t need to do any­thing else, just a check mark.

If you have not fully entered the per­son­al data required for par­ti­cip­a­tion, the sys­tem will offer to do so.
If you do not see a win­dow to register for the final stage, write to isys@​formulo.​org.
On the page with the list of sites at the top you will see your par­ti­cipant code; write it down and take it with you to the Olympi­ad. The code must be indic­ated on each page of your Olympi­ad work. We also recom­mend writ­ing down the organ­izer­’s phone num­ber (in the descrip­tion of the site).
We recom­mend arriv­ing at the selec­ted site 10–15 minutes before the spe­cified time to find the right room. You must have an iden­tity doc­u­ment with you, as well as a blank A4 sheet of paper. You must not use phones or oth­er means of com­mu­nic­a­tion dur­ing the Olympiad.

❗️ In-per­son sites are planned in Bul­garia, Mol­dova, Romania, Tur­key and Uzbek­istan. Please stay tuned for updates.

❗️ If there is no ven­ue in your region, you can con­tact the organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee to dis­cuss its organ­iz­a­tion. The final decision will be made after approv­al by the man­age­ment. To do this, you need to con­tact Alexandra.

Mes­sage from the organ­iz­ing committee

November 8, 2024

Dear par­ti­cipants, regis­tra­tion in your per­son­al account is avail­able again.

Mes­sage from the organ­iz­ing committee

November 7, 2024

Good morn­ing!

Dear par­ti­cipants, we have a major fail­ure. Over 2000 accounts have been registered in the last few days. Unfor­tu­nately, many people make a mis­take in their email address when regis­ter­ing, so our serv­er is tem­por­ar­ily blocked.

The organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee is already dis­cuss­ing the pos­sib­il­ity of extend­ing the qual­i­fy­ing round. We will def­in­itely let you know!

The Olympi­ad tasks are avail­able on the web­site. You can solve them without regis­tra­tion, and after restor­ing access, enter them into the system.

We apo­lo­gize!

Cla­ri­fic­a­tions to the problems

November 3, 2024

Dear par­ti­cipants! We have received many cla­ri­fy­ing ques­tions regard­ing the con­di­tions of the problems.
Many of them are answered in the con­di­tions, but there are sev­er­al cases where the con­di­tions are for­mu­lated impre­cisely or ambigu­ously. There­fore, we provide comments.
In the fol­low­ing text, the prob­lem num­bers are indic­ated as fol­lows: «8.1» means «prob­lem #1 for the grade R8».

6.7, 7.5, 8.5. Sofia takes one or more pho­tos FROM THE TOP of any pile.
9.1 (about the king of the class): it is known that there were at least four tests. Phrase (с) means that STRICTLY LESS par­ti­cipants dropped out in the first test than in any oth­er test.
5.5. Each boy knows EXACTLY four girls.
7.6, 8.6, 9.6. Only the inter­ac­tion BETWEEN the two selec­ted chil­dren is observed — they can still pass cheat sheets to the REST of their acquaintances.
9.7, 10.7. It is neces­sary that no sub­set of rect­angles form a rect­angle IN THE PLACE where they are ini­tially loc­ated. That is, for example, if two 1×1 squares are found some­where far from each oth­er, their uni­on DOES NOT FORM a rectangle.

Tasks update

October 21, 2024

Dear par­ti­cipants,

A small cla­ri­fic­a­tion for prob­lems 6.7, 7.5, and 8.5 is required. In each of her moves, Soph­ie takes one or more pho­tos FROM THE TOP of any stack.

Start of the qual­i­fy­ing round

October 20, 2024

Here is the qual­i­fy­ing (remote) round of the competition.

Please remem­ber that your solu­tion of every prob­lem should include not only the right answer, but the full reas­on­ing as well.

We will be happy if your friends who like math­em­at­ics also par­ti­cip­ate. How­ever, every assign­ment should be done indi­vidu­ally; oth­er­wise, your sub­mis­sion will not be considered.

You do not need to repeat the text of the prob­lems in your paper. The solu­tions should be writ­ten in Rus­si­an, Eng­lish, Ger­man, Span­ish, Uzbek, Turk­ish, Esper­anto, Farsi or French . Use of oth­er lan­guages should be agreed with the organ­izers in advance.

The win­ners of Olympi­ad 2023/24 (those with Dip­lo­mas I‑III) can par­ti­cip­ate dir­ectly in the final round.

Prob­lems

How to sub­mit solutions

To par­ti­cip­ate in the «For­mula of Unity» / «Third Mil­len­ni­um» 2024/25 math­em­at­ics olympi­ad, it is neces­sary to sub­mit solu­tion files (each prob­lem in a sep­ar­ate file) by the dead­line of 23:59:59 UTC on Novem­ber 10, 2024 (which is 02:59:59 Moscow time on Novem­ber 11). Please register in our inform­a­tion sys­tem and sub­mit your solu­tions through the per­son­al account. Import­ant: if you already have an account, there is no need to cre­ate a new one.

Be sure to read the par­ti­cip­a­tion instructions.

You can upload either text files (in TXT, DOC, DOCX, or PDF formats) or scans of paper works (in JPG and PNG formats). Each prob­lem should be uploaded under its cor­res­pond­ing num­ber with­in the per­son­al account! In the solu­tion files, per­son­al inform­a­tion, includ­ing sur­name and name, should not be specified!

We do not accept qual­i­fy­ing round works in any way oth­er than through upload­ing with­in the inform­a­tion system.
