United States

Generally, registering for these contests is based on the grade level of math at which the student works rather than the age or the enrolled grade of the student. Also normally only competitions where the participants write a full proof are called Mathematical Olympiads.

gollark: Also, `glob` *and* `fnmatch`? I have no idea exactly what they're for, but it sounds similar.
gollark: This does seem slightly weird and broken.
