Vasily Silvestrov

— Preparing for the problems of previous years, we understood that the Olympiad is not easy, but we have a good chance of winning gold medals. For me, this was the first international Olympiad, which added reasons to be nervous. We got a lot of points on the appeal. We prepared for it for two nights: we wrote alternative solutions and prepared criteria for them. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience: interesting culture, a beautiful city, delicious food. I would like to thank the organizers of the Olympiad for choosing and preparing the problems. We hope that next year, our university teams will also achieve excellent results.
