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
Shan-Yu and Mulan are playing a game. Let θ be an angle with 0∘<θ<180∘ known to both players. Initially, Shan-Yu makes a paper triangle T with measurements of his choice. Then, they repeatedly perform the following steps:
- If T has at least one angle measuring exactly θ, then the game stops and Mulan wins.
- Otherwise, Mulan chooses a point P on the perimeter of T, different from its three vertices. She then makes a straight cut from P to the opposite vertex of T, splitting it into two triangles.
- Shan-Yu discards one of the two triangles. The remaining triangle becomes the new T.
For which real values of θ 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.
