Olympiad-style competition-style problems (ages 15 to 18)

120 problems in the style of national maths olympiad first rounds. Fewer, harder problems where the answer is only half the work: you have to find an argument that settles every case. Number theory, inequalities, invariants, extremal arguments and clever counting. Every problem is original — written by us, not taken from a real paper — with two hints, a full solution, a note on why the method works and where the idea leads.

Every question is free to read. Hints, answer checking and full solutions for Olympiad-style problems are included with every A Level, IB, IGCSE and CBSE plan. See plans.

Each problem is tagged with the strategy that cracks it. The problem-solving strategy guides explain ten of them with worked examples: organised cases, count the opposite, working backwards, invariants, extremal principle and more.
