So my training regiment got kind of boring especially since it's mostly review and too contest oriented - therefore I have a new idea!

I'm planning to go through the entirety of this math154's incredible Alg/Combo/NT handout (which you can find on his blog). In my opinion this is one of the hardest Olympiad handouts ever written, and even better - it has a lot of non-Olympiad-esque stuff which is great for learning real math. I recall pythag011 wrote somewhere that only black MOPpers know real math and upon reflecting on my own knowledge, I realized that I wanted to expand my horizons past boring Olympiad problems (ahem... inequalities and contrived NT... ahem).

Also the last few weeks I tried notwriting up solutions and this hasn't really worked for me so expect a bunch of stuff from Victor's handout to appear on my blog.
