Yeh its a maths competition for American Unis. Olympids for Uni basically. The winners are normally all IMO gold medalists form USA China a far east etc and MIT normally wins overall.
Do you anything about vieta jumping cos I have no idea how to use it...apparently its a shortcuut
Vieta jumping is basically when we have number theory division problems mainly and we minimise a+b (a,b) solutions and we use this to get polynomials which we then solve useful relations to eventually solve the problem. It is very powerful. This sums it up very nicely http://www.yimin-ge.com/doc/VietaJumping.pdf

thats a nice result actually, never heard of it. Im guessing its less common in olympiad stuff nowadays cus its more well known?
Not really though the method of a+b minimsed is extremely common across competition across the world. A similar method is used in inequalities where we fix one variable say 'x' and then we have some constraints like x+y+z=1 and we have deltax +x etc.
