Competitions
During my school and college years, I competed in many different math competitions, as
I could tackle problems together with one of my best friends, which was a lot of fun!
I hope to inspire future generations by participating in these competitions too, as one will not only
gain problem-solving skills but also close friendships and happy memories to look back on!
Now, let me list some write-ups from a high school teenager who tried to learn lucid dreaming to solve
problems during sleep... Let BWM := German Federal Mathematics Competition.

‘BWM 2016 Round 2 - Solution 2’ is one of my favorite proofs, since it is very surprising.
By assuming the finiteness of certain integers related to primes and triangular numbers, we show that 1
= 0 in 𝔽2. Cool!
‘BWM 2017 Round 2 - Problem 4’ was by far the hardest one (not just in my opinion).
