Cambodia win medal in APMO?

When I see the result on Australian website, it suprised me that Cambodian student, Se Dara, Sisowat High School, won a bronze medal in this tough Asia Pacific Mathematics Olympiad 2008 with 11pts/35. This year competition is considered as a toughest ever in APMO history with a very lower average score comparing to previous years. Notice that this is the first time for Cambodia team to particpate this competition; I strongly believe that cambodia team with 6 contestants ( all selected from grade 12) will perform well in soon coming IMO 2008 in Madrid, Spain.

Winning streak now come to the END!

Every year Cambodia has a huge competition for all superior students in 3 different subjects (Khmer literature, Mathematics and Physics), both Junior and Senior, throughout the nation to compete nationally called National Level Top Student competition. Usually, there are 480 contestants, who has been selected from each areas (provinces and cities) coming from all the various places in Cambodia. This year likewise, the competition was held on the land of history and nature, Siem Reap Province from May 5 to May 12.

After a 3-day competition and another 3-day marking progression, the National Level Top Student selection has come to the end with 60 successive contestants, 10 contestants for each subject in each level. 24 of 69 Phnom Penh Municipal students have been selected with 4 Gold Medals, 3 Silver Medals and 3 Bronze Medals. Additionally, 8 of 19 Bak Touk Students have won the competition with 1 Gold Medal, 1 Silver Medal and 2 Bronze Medals. Actually, in overall Bak Touk High School Team is the best team this year; however, I personally want to say sorry to all my friends, supporters, school principles, all my relatives and especially mom and dad for my embarrassing performance which made most of you hopeless. Indeed, Silver medal would be joyful enough for most contestants, yet to me, it was with tear, hopelessness and sadness. It may be a really high ambition of me, but the main reason is that I still don’t why I have lost especially on the first day, hmmm... maybe it all my faults... my ability has already shown out of my best, still I couldn’t keep my position, poor me :(. I feel really embarrass, and a huge pressure seem to be put on my emotion though some of you have tried to encourage and remain supporting me.

Finally, I want to say sorry to everyone again and also want to say congratulation to Samrith, you finally beated me....

Here is another poem!

For this Khmer new year season, I have a small gift for all the friends and Cambodians and wish all of you all the best of life... Wish all the students who going to compete the National round of top student, especially my Bak Touk friends. I also wanna dedicate this poem to all the Physics and Mathematics students who gonna represent Cambodia in regional and International competitions including soon coming APho-Mongolia, IMO-Spain and IPho-Vietnam. Here is the poem:

Coming soon jubilant ocassion KHMER NEW YEAR

People in the world always say New Year celebrate their happy festival. They usually schedule and prepare it differently, depend on their belief and tradition. For Cambodian have hold it since past till the present.

The reason that cause to finish the old year for the are that: There have been some people believe that there is a story as following one time there were a person "KABEL MORHAPROHM" who asked three questions to "THORM BAL KOMA, the millionaire's on, who had known the three percepts of "TRAI VITH" and ail kinds of the animal's languages. They all had promised to cut the head of the person who failed the exam "THORM BAL" have no way to find the solution, he felled very hopeless, fortunately, there were two eagles which had spoken about these questions to make "THORM BAL" could find the way to settle the problems. The time of gambling arrived "THORM BAL " had spoken that:

1. In the morning, the happiness is on the face that is why all people have to wash their face.
2. In the afternoon, the happiness is on the breath to make the people take water to wash the breath.
3. In the evening, the happiness is on the foot to make the people wash their food in the evening.

Cambodian people are playing the Chaul Choung game in New Year Day.

The result had broken out "KABEL MORHAPROHM" had to cut his head to give to the oldest had take it go around PRAS SOMERU mountain about 60 minutes after they all bring it to put in the center of KUHA KUNTH MALAY of KAILA mountain. In the end of the year the 7 females angles had changed their turn to take the head and go around the mountain every year till the present. This is the reason to cause "SANG KRAN" or changing the old year into the New Year.

Some people have believed that for a period of one year the people always face the problems like diseases or serious obstacles to make them unhappy. When the one of the year they all had celebrated a great festival called "HAPPY NEW YEAR" and the people always prepare them-self, clean the house, and take food to offer the monks. They wear new clothes and play popular games.

The festival usually is in 3 days period. The first day is "MOHA SANGKRAN" the second day is "VORNBORTH" and the third day is "THNGAI LIENG SAK". For that time they start to change the old year when the angle comes to get the duties from the former angle were schedule clearly.

Good tips for Mathematics Olympiad participants!

The term "olympiad" is used generically to refer to a math contest in which students are asked not to compute numerical answers, but to give proofs of specified statements. (Example: "Prove that 2003 is not the sum of two squares of integers.") The most famous example is the International Mathematical Olympiad; most countries that participate at the IMO have national olympiads as part of their team selection process. Some areas have additional olympiads at the regional or local level.

The jump from short answers to olympiads is a tough one. Here are some tips for students making this transition.


Practice, practice, practice. The only way to learn math is by doing.

Proofs are essays. The better written a proof is, the more likely it is to be understood. Even such mundane things as grammar, spelling and handwriting are worth a bit of attention.

Define your terms. If you're going to use a word in a way that might not be commonly understood, define it precisely. Then stick to your definition!

Read the masters. No one ever learned how to do good mathematics in a vacuum. When you do practice problems, read the solutions even of the problems you solved.

There's more than one road. Different solutions can be equally valid; even when solutions agree in substance, differences in perspective can be significant and valuable.

It's not over when it's over. Don't hesitate to continue thinking about the problems on a contest after the time ends, or to discuss the problems with others.

Learn from your peers. They're smarter than you might have expected.

Learn from the past. Try to relate new problems to old ones; you may learn something from the similarities, or from the differences.

Patience. No one said this was easy!
