Start of the qual­i­fy­ing round

October 15, 2025

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, Por­tuguese, Ger­man, Uzbek, Turk­ish, Esper­anto, Farsi or French. Use of oth­er lan­guages should be agreed with the organ­izers in advance.

The win­ners of Olympi­ad 2024/25 (those with Dip­lo­mas I‑III) can par­ti­cip­ate dir­ectly in the final round.
