Awful Swiss Mathematics Reloaded
It happened! Unfortunately we couldn't find the funds to host it in Liechtenstein, so ASMR 2025 took place once again in Aarburg, during the SMO camp. Turns out leaders were a bit less bad at maths than last year, probably thanks to our beautiful timer and our amazing problems, two of which were actually original!
| Name | Score | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| Mathys | 27 | First place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| David | 18.5 | Second place |
| Jerry | 10.5 | Third place |
| Valentin | 1.5 | Still better than Mark |
| Mark | 0.8 | Most confusing submission |
| Tanish | 0.5 | Brudi lmao |
| Marco V. | 0.42 | Honorable Mention |
The following pictures were definitely taken during the camp
Ach, Such Mathematical Ruin!
The ASMR 2025 Board is pleased to announce that the amazing exam taking place today (which was definitely not a joke) (and was definitely not prepared in half an hour) is now over! Participants embarked on a delightful trip through the realms of number theory (a great field that studies the integers), geometry (of the wide space of bashes, only bary bash was never used), algebra (evil problem that was just scary) and combinatorics (no one had COMMON SENSE)! We are also pleased to announce that the combi problem was original (fancy word for saying "was plucked out of thin air by Hongjia right before the publication of the problems") (this is why it was so amazing) (also definitely not an unsolved conjecture). The problems are so incredible that we decided not to publish them on this website, though. But congrats to Felix Xu, Marco Vaccaro and Mark Neumann for (maybe) winning prizes!

Website!
As you might have realised by reading this, we now have a fantastic (ie. terrible) website! Special thanks to Fynn Krebser for hosting and contributing to this website, and to Felix Xu for sending me the whole ASCII written in the style of the ASMR logo.
The Amazing Swiss Mathematical Revenge
After 2 months of careful preparations, looking for awful problems, designing exam timers and printing pictures of Raphi, it finally happened. The Amazing Swiss Mathematical Revenge took place at the Swiss MO's Aarburg training camp, on February 3rd. Leaders of the SMO had 14293 seconds to solve 4 amazing problems, worth 10.5 points each. Well as you can see on the table below we slightly overestimated their maths skills... Anyway, congrats to Ivan Pouly for winning this year's ASMR (by trigbashing the geo problem that we thougt was trivial) as well as an overly large amount of ginger! Congrats too to Patrick Stalder, who won a framed picture of Raphi that immediately got purchased by Tanish Patil. And Marco Cavaleri tried too, contrarily to Tanish.
| Name | Score | Prize |
