I can't read the page and I don't follow the math Olympics. What is a "Silver at the Hispanic American level"?
- gus_massa 9y agoIt's similar to the International Mathematical Olympiad, but it only has 20 countries from the part of America that speak Spanish or Portuguese + Spain + Portugal. So it's easier than the IMO, but the problems are quite challenging anyway. There are several gold. silver and bronze medals awarded each year. There is a complete list of the results of last year here: http://oc.uan.edu.co/component/k2/itemlist/category/62-olimpiada-iberoamericana-de-matematica http://oc.uan.edu.co/component/k2/itemlist/category/62-olimp...

- gravypod 9y agoYea I'd assume being the top of anything when ranked against the population of a set of countries is pretty amazing. It's funny that not even (quite literally) the best of the best can obtain any leeway from colleges.
