Anonymous said...

Shouldnt 10 be 80

Anonymous said...

I believe the last qn should be 146 instead of 46.

Anonymous said...

Isn’t q23 45???

Anonymous said...

10 isn’t 80 because that’s half of the rectangle

Anonymous said...

q25 should be 146

Predictions:
7-8: HM
9-11: Bronze
11-13: Silver
14: R2

This year easier than last year however

Anonymous said...

this year is easier in an olympiad sense (qns are not guessable but the concepts should be familiar to ppl who regularly do oly)

i predict 14-15 cutoff (similar to 2022 and 2019)

Anonymous said...

yes I think so too because of quite a handful of similar questions/ repeats as the past few years

Anonymous said...

R2 cutoff should be around 23 according to my teacher

Anonymous said...

how are there only 24 blue points for q22?

Anonymous said...

24C3 ways to pick 3 points from 24 blue points, they form 2024 unique circles with 2024 red points

Anonymous said...

thanks!

What qtns were repeated? I felt that they were quite novel except qn1 and like 2 others I felt this was a little harder than last year because last year was veryvguessable

Anonymous said...

Hi would a 12 be able to get a silver or r2 cutoff?

Anonymous said...

I think silver

Anonymous said...

Hi would a 14 get R2?

Anonymous said...

i hope so, but i considered this paper easier than 2022 and 2023 so I may predict cutoff of 15

but then again all my info are from the nush ppl who usually make R2 and they all got scores >=17, last year’s paper was guessable and had cutoff of 12 or 13 while 2022 is 14 and was considered an easier paper by smo standards

Anonymous said...

2022 is definitely easier than this year so i feel r2 will be 12-13. i dont think cut off has ever been 15.

Anonymous said...

I agree this year's cop definitely higher, I see a lot more ppl with >8 scores compared to other years

Anonymous said...

do you guys think 14/25 can get silver

Anonymous said...
