66Yes. It seems that Maths and Music is in the air around here.
Satyaki had missed the last two IMO tours by narrow margins.. I am happy that he ultimately made it this time. :)
IMO 2010 is currently underway at Kazakhstan. The actual competition will be on 8th-9th as far as I can make out.
http://michaelnielsen.org/polymath1/index.php?title=Imo_2010 will feature a joint effort at solving the toughest problem on the IMO. This is a polymath project being championed by Terence Tao himself!
The Indian team members are here: http://www.imo-official.org/year_reg_team.aspx?year=2010&code=IND . Lets wish them all the very best from us.
Peru has a 12 year old contestant! Check out this cute guy at
http://www.imo-official.org/year_reg_team.aspx?year=2010&code=PER. He represented his country last year too winning a bronze. Isnt that awesome!
Pakistan is sending a girl! http://www.imo-official.org/year_reg_team.aspx?year=2010&code=PAK. India has not sent a girl competitor yet. My little sisters out here, stop drooling over SRK et al, and do something to restore our pride :D.

341And they never seem to miss having at least one perfect score. All six gold medalists is an incredible performance. Dongyi Wei who scored 42s in two consecutive IMOs (2008 and 2009) didnt even write the Chinese MO this year because he felt that these olympiads werent enough of a challenge any more. Heck, he must be God!
I was hoping to see some gold medallists from India. Akashnil has one more attempt next year and so that hope remains alive.
The 12 year old from Peru got a silver, so I will be rooting for a gold for this guy next year at Netherlands.
62isnt it a shame that India stood 36th?
Congrats to Satyaki for the bronze andGaurav and AKashnil for silvers too)
106results are out
2 silvers and a bronze

Congrats to the Indian team
341Day 1 questions are up
http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/viewforum.php?f=644
11@ b555, that's not true, there are applicants from New Delhi, UP, AP, Mumbai and other states even in BSTAT course, so let alone B.MATH.....U cud have checked the list of people appearing for the entrance in ISI's website, and surprisingly I met a guy from HP this time.
Abt IMO, delighted to see our own friend from dgp this time representing India....
Well, what prophet sir said abt girl participants is in fact true, there are rarely from India, btw in mathlinks, there's already a few threads that are discussing the topics that might fare in the exam.....
Hats off to the genius team! Sure u'll bring pride for our nation....[124]
39i say its becaus eother state guys arent given chance to write ISI and RMO`s are more infamous in such places
application dates and where they are sold come and go in a flash and mostly, even the capable ones loose the chance with no fault of theirs
62pune has been a strong hold because of the coaching conducted by bjv himself.
Bengal has been a hub and stonghold for maths olympiad for long now....
Look at enrollments into ISI anyyear... More than 50% from bengal!
62yeah even i was surprised to hear something about the girls.. cos even I thought I knew ne :P
btw ;yeah satyaki is there too :)
I hope he does really well... Would sometimes become so difficult to teach him and had to always give him questions seperately cs he would be done with the chapter even before i started one :D :D
And yeah i rarely remember having answerd his questions ;)
341Looks like I am wrong about girl participants from India. There have been three the last being in 2005
341@qwerty - Well yes: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/city-twins-to-rack-brains-at-international-m/626037/
Gaurav and Akashnil represented India last year at Germany winning a silver (that info is not updated on the page). So three Pune and three WB. I am happy these guys got some mention by our media!
62Also look at the indonesian team.. It seems that they send kids to the place ;)
Anyways the South East asian guys look too young..
