The 2011 National High School Mathematics Competition
The exam started on the 16th. We set off on the 15th and took a bus ride of nearly five hours to Huizhou (No. 8 High School) for the exam. To my great frustration, even though I'd done a fair amount of preparation beforehand, my performance this time was surprisingly poor — so winning an award is just a dream now... ^_^
I later realized, quite tragically, that I'd been assigned Paper A, and when I looked at the problems on Paper B afterward, I found they suited me much better, which made me even more speechless... Did I just use up all my luck last year?
Actually, a physics competition would suit me better, except that in such a remote place I wasn't even eligible to enter...
I won't say more about it. I'm happier just sticking to sharing and discussing scientific problems here on Scientific Spaces with everyone.
