As an international competition, the International Mathematical Olympiad was put forward by international mathematical education experts, which exceeded the level of compulsory education in various countries and was much more difficult than the college entrance examination. According to experts, only 5% of children with extraordinary intelligence are suitable for learning the Olympic Mathematics, and it is rare to reach the top of the international mathematical Olympics all the way.

The rules of the Olympic Mathematics Competition are as follows:
(1) The host country of IMO in the year is held by the participating countries (or regions) in turn, and the required funds are borne by the host country. The whole event was hosted by the host country and presided over by the examiners' committee composed of leaders of various countries. The test questions and answers are provided by the participating countries. Each country has 3-5 (optional) questions, but the host country does not provide test questions.
(2) Each team shall organize a team with no more than 8 members, including no more than 6 members (students from middle schools or schools at the same level), 1 team leader and deputy team leader. The exam will be held in two days, with 3 questions each, 4.5 hours each and 7 points each, so the highest score of each player is 42 points.
(3) The official languages of IMO are English, French, German and Russian, and participating countries need about 26 languages. At that time, the team leaders will translate the test papers into the national language and get the approval of the coordination Committee. The marking is first judged by leaders and deputy leaders of various countries, and then negotiated with the Coordination Committee (each coordinator is responsible for marking a test question). If there are differences, the examiners' committee will arbitrate, and the negotiation will be conducted in a trusting and friendly atmosphere.
