March 2025 newsflash

Happy Pi Day! Here’s a quick summary of some recent things going on with me:

  • I got my PhD! (I defended my thesis last December.)
  • The 2025 Teammate Hunt runs from March 28 to April 6. Please check it out! (Yes, I’m on the organizing team.)
  • USEMO 2025 is open to all middle and high school students now (the US requirement has finally been dropped). Problem proposals are open now and are due on May 10, 2025; see the USEMO page for submission instructions.
  • After being in development hell for 10 years, the silly weekend project I put together in 2015 is finally up: Olympiad GeoGuessr, a dumb game where you can try to guess collinear and concyclic points from real MO diagrams. Thanks to Abdullahil Kafi for contributing a lot of the recent levels.

    We’re going to call this a beta version because it hasn’t been tested much. If you play enough, you’re likely to spot some mistakes in the answer key. Please report these when you see them.

  • The OTIS Mock AIME is now a data set on Hugging Face for AI enthusiasts. Shrug.

More generally, you can read about my general life status at my now page.

  2. Happy Pi Day and huge congratulations on your PhD — what an amazing milestone! 🎉 Publishing your 18.02 notes on MIT OCW is also incredible and will help so many learners. The Teammate Hunt and USEMO updates sound exciting, and Olympiad GeoGuessr is such a fun idea — can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing all these updates!
