  • theyre all asian xD

  • @xix3love

    it's a world competition... asians consist of a lot of the world population.

  • @wearymachine hahah ok.....but you mean ridiculously hard right? And you are not "nothing", you maybe an extremely talented person, the thing is, sat, aime, etc only tells us that you have a minimum level, it does not tell us anything about your upper bound of intelligence (sat is pretty easy actually), you can be a genius. And another thing, IMO requires training and practice, most of the contestants learned a variety of techniques, they didn´t come up with all of them, but rather learned them.

  • @ColdGambler lol honestly, the way i said my comment was kinda implying that i'm nothing (below the ground level) next to these ppl...i've read IMO problems before and they're pretty ridiculous...

  • @wearymachine these things you said you´ve done aren´t high level stuff.... have you ever seen an IMO problem? pick up any imo from the last 20 years and if you can do any of those than yes, you are fairly talented, at the very least. If you can do lots of these IMO problems than you are probably a genius. These problems are the hardest of the hardest. Trust me.

  • @minifoo8 Yes but doing not so well on the putnam doesnt imply that you do not have the potential to do well.

  • @xix3love yeh, im surprised too... only half?

  • @xix3love no shit

  • Guy or Girl @ 1:13??

  • @minifoo8

    that's hard to believe lol...
