Science Olympiads
appianway:
Well, the Australian government only recognises IMO, IPhO, IChO, IOI and IBO.
/0:
lol also there's International Computational Linguistics Olympiad
schnappy:
I was told 20 mins before doing the physics thing that I was doing it. I got out of english so didn't care (though english would have been more fun) - everyone in the room just stared at each other.
Bit bullshit considering the non-MP questions were largely just maths with lots and lots of letters.
pi:
I went to the chem one without knowing redox... :(
appianway:
@ schnappy, yeah, the physics NQE last year had quite a bit of maths (more than in my year), but question 1 was partially stolen from part of a section of question A from the Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO question 1....)... and there was also a lab based question and the Coriolis question. I'd still argue that it's a far better measure of physics ability than any of the other non invitational events (ICAS, IYPT, random science competitions, VCE even).
