EDIT: For Slithe, my favorite problem of the ones I solved: Let n be a positive integer. Find the number of pairs of polynomials (P(x),Q(x)) with real coefficients such that: 1. P squared plus Q squared is equal to x^(2n) + 1 and 2. The degree of Q is strictly greater than the degree of P Here, x^(2n) means x to the (2n)th power. I like it because it has a relatively short, clever solution  EDIT 2: One of my friends who did high school tests with me last year placed in the top 6!  | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lowell_Putnam_Mathematical_Competition From Wikipedia: "The examination is considered to be very difficult: it is typically attempted by students specializing in mathematics, but the median score is usually one or two points out of 120 possible, and there have been only three perfect scores as of 2005." | ||

I'm happy to make it that far as a high school student, but I can't help feeling I would have placed much higher if I hadn't screwed up A1. Anyone else from teamliquid do well? You're fucking crazy. OMG :O props man | ||
