          International Mathematics Olympiad and Other Competitions

  From the IMO home page:

  The International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) is an annual mathematics
  competition for highschool students. It is one of the International
  Science Olympiads. The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959. The
  usual size of an official delegation to an IMO is (a maximum of) six
  student competitors and (a maximum of) two leaders. There is no
  official ``team''. The student competitors write two papers, on
  consecutive days, each paper consisting of three questions. Each
  question is worth seven marks.
