- mgummelt 19y agoHow is the math olympiad forced?
- aswanson 19y agoI meant that it is more impressive to find and solve a solution to a novel or significant problem than jumping through a difficult set of solved insignificant problems. Forced in this sense means that someone has framed where your mind has to go; you don't have to recognize and make value judgments on it's worth.
