We love to eat "Cake"

During the CMO, student reporters from Chongqing Nankai Middle School were attached to the various groups. The student reporter assigned to us wrote the above. The phrase in bold is translated: "Math is like a cake, we eat it once a week (refering to our national team training), no nutrition if we miss it for a week, we will grow fat if we eat too much, but we're not afraid of growing fat"

After the competition, Ivan was still holding on to the question papers, in deep thought trying to analyse the questions, oblivious to the surroundings.

Got this from the magazine given to us. Click for a larger photo of the entire group photo. Most of our team members are within the red circle, or somewhere nearby.

Failed at CMO 2010

Most of the things in China failed. The food tasted horrible, the room was small, the room was cold and the excursion was prosaic. While the teachers stayed at a warm comfortable hotel room with power plugs and internet, we stayed in a hostel room without any power plug or internet cable. The water was freezing cold, the toilet was the squatting one and the shower was just above the squat toilet. The first dinner we had at the hostel was atrocious, so for the subsequent lunches and dinners, we ate outside.

I can only think of 1 good thing about China - the things are quite cheap.

The CMO questions were relatively easier than the IMO's, but since there was no coordination sessions which involved the team leader/observer to evaluate our solutions and to agree on marks awarded (IMO practice), we lost partial marks everywhere and got low marks. As a result the Singapore team did not perform very well, getting only 3 silver medals and 3 bronze medals. The silver medals were won by Ang Yan Sheng, Ivan Loh and Ryan Chan.

If I had another chance at CMO, I wouldn't want to go. I also heard that next year's CMO would be at a place with a temperature of -26 degrees celsius.
