IMO 2014 Results Announced

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2014 Results announced today. Congratulations Winners! Go, it's a win win situation for you. Know how you fared in IMO 2014, Click Here.

Congratulations Winners, you made the world proud. Those who didn't won but are in the race even last in the queue, I am sure, they have learnt a lot from this even. Personally, I was crazy about IMO but never made it, off course owing to poor schooling and poor parenting and poor me. Very few who might have will will come across this page at least for couple of months from now. Here results are published primarily to inspire other who are learning phase to take part in this Mega Academic Event. Whether, you will won or not but definitely you will learn a lot.

As you know, Mathematics is the Queen of all Sciences!
