Problems from the Book

This book is underrated. Just glancing through it, there's so much beautiful theory... can't wait til I have time to go from cover to cover.

Summer, where are you?

It's definitely one of the harder ones, but the text itself should be comprehensible given a thorough reading. The problems not so much.

Well, there's a lot of already good sources on geo...

it is a great book indeed... too bad the vast majority of olympiad writers don't even consider putting pftb-style nt/alg on olympiads (possible exceptions are TSTST #3 and USAMO #4)

Yeah unfortunately it's pretty pricey... definitely worth it though.

Define it.

I "should have" got a 15. But I misbubbled a lot.

I should've gotten a 10.... but no one likes me.
