Olympiad Combinatorics

What is this document about?

This document is intended for candidates preparing for the Maths Olympiads
(IMO/INMO/RMO). It has an exhaustive set of problems, which should train you for all
sorts of situations that you typically encounter in combinatorial problems. Of course, no
set of problems can ever be complete, and therefore, this is also an ongoing effort. We
will try and update the document to provide a single source of information for our
students. You can learn only through problem-solving and we welcome anyone to try
these challenges.
In case you need help, feel free to reach out to me at “​ashish@shishya.co​” and we
could try and organize a session for you. Happy solving!

Who should solve these problems?

Any student seriously preparing for Regional Maths Olympiads (RMO) and higher level
Olympiads can try these. Age is no bar to mathematical ability.
