SMO 2010 (Open) Special Round

I could only do 4.5 questions and at least 6 people could do all 5. So I failed. I did qns 1,2,3 in 1.5 hours and qn 5 in 1 hour, and I worked on qn 4 for 2 hours.

SMO 2010 (Senior) Special Round

It was raining very heavily this morning so we were almost late. All the questions were trivial except for maybe question 5 which I don't know anyone who could solve it.

But I only managed to solve 3 questions because of my stupidity.

After the competition, the 6 of us (IMO participants) and our trainers/teachers went to West Coz restaurant for a lunch treat.
