Age levels

11–13 y.o.

The task set is designed for participants of a younger age with a basic level of knowledge. 8 tasks in the set include questions on classical astronomy and general concepts of the universe.

13–14 y.o.

The set of tasks is designed for participants continuing their exploration of the universe and the laws that govern it. 6 tasks are focused on classical questions in astronomy and the application of physical principles in space.

15–17 y.o.

This set of tasks is designed for participants with a solid understanding of fundamental astronomical concepts and laws.
The 10 problems in the set cover topics in astrometry, celestial mechanics, stellar astronomy, and the practical foundations of astronomy.

13–14 y.o.

To successfully solve the tasks, you need to know the names and symbols of chemical elements, the names and formulas of common inorganic compounds, be able to use the Periodic Table, understand molecular models, know the basic chemical properties of the main classes of inorganic compounds, be able to find stoichiometric coefficients in the reaction equations, know how to describe the composition of solutions, and be able to find the formula of an unknown substance based on quantitative data.

15–16 y.o.

Solving the problems in this set requires knowledge of the structure, physical and chemical properties of inorganic substances, as well as general principles governing chemical processes. The participants are expeted to perform calculations based on reaction equations, determine the composition of an unknown substance using quantitative data, and calculate thermochemical characteristics of processes based on qualitative reactions.

12—15 y.o.

The problems are designed for students aged 14−15 (equivalent to the 8th grade of Russian schools). Topics covered include pressure in liquids and the laws of statics, thermal processes, and the laws of uniform motion. The ability to obtain information by analysing graphs and tables is tested.

15—18 y.o.

The set is designed for participants who are confident in basic physics concepts and laws and have skills in solving non-standard physics problems. Three problems include questions on kinematics and dynamics, direct current electricity, and thermal phenomena.

10—13 y.o.

The set contains three types of tasks that require a general understanding of biological taxonomy, botany, zoology, ecology, human physiology, and the structure of plant and animal cells. In addition to mastering terminology and understanding the mechanisms of biological processes, the participants need to visually recognise organisms of different taxa and their structures.

13—14 y.o.

The set contains four types of tasks, which require a confident knowledge of botany, zoology, human anatomy, ecology and cell structure. In addition to mastering terminology and understanding the mechanisms of biological processes, the participants need to visually recognise organisms of different taxa and their structures.

15—18 y.o.

The set contains four types of tasks that require confident knowledge not only in botany and zoology, but also in other biological disciplines such as mycology, algology and microbiology. In addition to mastering terminology and understanding the mechanisms of biological processes, participants need to visually recognise organisms of different taxa and their structures and perform calculations.

The task set is designed for students aged 9−12. It offers tasks of varying difficulty on topics such as arithmetic, algebra, logic, elements of geometry, and combinatorics. It is assumed that students have knowledge of basic olympiad concepts: evenness/oddness, proof by contradiction, constructing logical chains, rearranging segments and shapes, estimation and examples, and basic combinatorial calculations.

The task set is designed for students aged 12−14, but it may also appeal to a broader audience. The tasks do not go beyond the scope of the school curriculum, but they may require unconventional approaches and ideas, as well as the ability to construct logical chains of reasoning.
You will be offered tasks on the following topics: arithmetic and algebra, logic, combinatorics, and problems involving a checkered board. When solving these problems, it may be helpful to have a basic understanding of prime and composite numbers, divisibility properties and linear equations.

The task set is designed for students aged 14−18, who are expected to be proficient in solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, as well as their systems. Knowledge of the fundamental concepts of combinatorics may also be beneficial. In geometry, a thorough understanding of the criteria for triangle congruence and similarity, the properties of parallel lines, and the basic properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons is essential. All the tasks require unconventional approaches and a creative mathematical mindset.

10–12 y.o.

Junior age level includes 5 tasks with entering an answer or fulfilling a table. Special skills in Informatics are not required; all you need is basic mathematical knowledge and creative thinking.

12–14 y.o.

In the middle age level, there are 3 tasks with entering an answer (spreadsheets are needed in one of them) and 3 programming tasks. To complete programming tasks, it is enough to be able to write and use basic structures: variables and arithmetic operations, conditional statements and loops. You can use the following programming languages: Python 3, C++, Pascal, C#, Java, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Rust.

14–18 y.o.

Senior age level includes 5 programming tasks. Participants are supposed to have sufficient knowledge of the basic structures of one of the programming languages, such as variables and arithmetic operations, conditional statements, loops and arrays (or lists). All problems can be solved without the use of special algorithms. You can use the following programming languages: Python 3, C++, Pascal, C#, Java, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Rust.
