    It's interesting talking to inherently talented people, but as a normal person myself with aspirations of mathematical research all I'm left wondering is - what room is there for me in the mathematical community? When a field is stratified by intrinsic aptitude like maths is, one wonders what the people with the real gifts think about those of us struggling to make meaning out of things that come so easy for them. Of course, everyone works hard. But I find this less inspirational and more discouraging as a non-smart person who tries their best.

      for real dude.Some people say maths is all about hard work but it is not.Its all about thinking and here comes the issue.Iq is something that is only genetics and it can not be increased .So people who have great iq genetics are surely gonna excel unlike us with average iq struggling to solve even a simple puzzle

I am currently in 11th grade and my dream school is MIT but whenever I see such videos of people who get into MIT, even you your self about the cancer thing I see
    how hard it is to get in because because at these Ugandan high schools, there is nothing like Math competions or such staff. What do you advise me to do please.

      Try to connect to the autist community and learn how to protect against bullying. Succes in the world is much less about IQ and skills than about "fitting in" and social networking. Means: even if you are great in math and science the game is manipulated against you. Normal people don't like us because our body language is different and because they can sense that we are genetically different. In Europe and with the new data from the neanderthale genome research I see clear signs for speciation/ interrupted gene flow. And for the xenophobic hate that a different species of humans will face from the main species 😢 What is happening in Africa and in relation to autism is underesearched. Some statistics claim a relative high rate of autism there. That would be good, because in that case you are not outnumbered 50 to one like here in Europe. Whatever nation gets the bullying against authist under controll first will become a scientific leader. And something tells me it will not be Europe.

    привет из России. удивлен, что он в пиковой форме тратил 5-6 часов в день. например, я сейчас в 10 классе и уже как 2 года занимаюсь в среднем по 4-5 часов в день, а в нашей стране обычно дети, которые в итоге участвовали в IMO, начинали заниматься с 4- 5 класса, у нас отбор в команду думаю как и у вас сложен из за количества людей, то есть конкуренция высока, а так, в нашей стране есть олимпиады, например, всероссийская олимпиада школьников, задания которых такие же по сложности , чем на imo, и большинство лучших математиков идут учиться после школы в спбгу на факультет математики и компьютерных наук, а физики идут в МФТИ

    Not all schools make these things available. Often MATHCOUNTS isn’t available. The AMC is often not available either except in private schools or wealthy districts. After Covid it became extremely difficult to register for the AMC at different schools. Parents with enough money will move to have this available to their kids. This is disproportionately more available to wealthy families.

    If you do the math, it looks like the Copernicus International Math Olympiad is a huge money-making scheme of the organizers: cheap prizes and awards, dozens of gold, silver, bronze medals to make each country happy, apparent share in expenses for tours, hotel accommodations, etc. One red flag: the organizers don't give the long list of winners. Each contingent upon returning to their respective countries just focus on the medals, awards of their native sons giving the impression that they were overwhelming winners. I hope I'm wrong.

    The approach these two indians take to math is problematic and misleading, they consider math as puzzle solving games which can be applied to different studies. While for anyone who took undergraduate/graduate mathematics courses wouldn't agree with such point of view.
