Olympiad mathematics, from the source

Every olympiad problem, with its source and its solutions.

olymmath collects the problems of the mathematical olympiads of the world. Each statement comes from the official paper or from a human collection, and each text shows where it comes from.

IMO 2026 Problem 4

  • Day 2
  • Geometry
  • Answer

Shan-Yu and Mulan are playing a game. Let θ\theta be an angle with 0∘<θ<180∘0^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ known to both players. Initially, Shan-Yu makes a paper triangle TT with measurements of his choice. Then, they repeatedly perform the following steps:

  • If TT has at least one angle measuring exactly θ\theta, then the game stops and Mulan wins.
  • Otherwise, Mulan chooses a point PP on the perimeter of TT, different from its three vertices. She then makes a straight cut from PP to the opposite vertex of TT, splitting it into two triangles.
  • Shan-Yu discards one of the two triangles. The remaining triangle becomes the new TT.

For which real values of θ\theta can Mulan guarantee her victory in finitely many steps, no matter how Shan-Yu plays?

How olymmath works

Human text first

The statement of each problem comes from the official paper or a human collection. A model never writes a statement.

Each text has a source

Each statement and each solution shows its source, its origin and its licence zone, with a link to the original.

AI with a label

AI solutions come after the human solutions. Each one shows its model, its grade and who graded it.
