I wonder if Ais himself attended the Olympiad as a participant or did he come up with these problems for schoolchildren to prove their insignificance? :)))
 

Participated

After the first round was in first place

The final place was about 60th.

Afterwards, and before that, in Olympiads in physics and mathematics I was placed higher, including the 1st

Almost all problems - I solved, and I solved this one too, only a little bit later, many years later.

 

A task for the second class:

The car and trailer are worth $16,000.

The car is more expensive than the trailer by $15,000.

Find: The cost of the car and the cost of the trailer

 
Ais >>:

Задача для второго класса:

Машина и прицеп стоят 16 тыс. долларов

Машина дороже прицепа на 15 тыс. долларов

Найти: стоимость машины и стоимость прицепа

For the second, it's easy: 15500 and 500

 

In second grade, I was the only one who got it right

There were apples instead of dollars.

My teacher gave me an F.

I solved it twice.

It was an easy assignment at the end of class.

Everyone solved it, even the losers, but I kept on solving and solving.

The conclusion I'm using is that most people can be badly mistaken.

 
Ais >>:

Во втором классе я был единственный, правильно решивший

Вместо долларов были яблоки

Училка поставила мне двойку

Я перерешивал два раза

Это было простое задание в конце урока

Решили все, даже двоечники, а я все перерешивал и перерешивал

Вывод, которым я пользуюсь: большинство может круто заблуждаться

it used to be a penny task when 0.5 pennies was

Ais, "second grade" -- what year was that?

 

1976-1977

 

Under bloody totalitarianism, textbooks and teaching aids were no match for today's textbooks.


Ais, are you telling me that in second grade you already stood up to the Ministry of Education with various academics at the helm?


I find that hard to believe. Especially by your punctuation.

But I believe him. :)) Punctuation just proves that a man can bend the rules of the Ministry of Education. Or should I have asked your permission? ;)
