I've worked every problem contained in these two books, and I am somewhat pleased with this edition. Some problems are simply repeated from the past 2 books, just reworded a bit differently or with different numbers. Very few are extremely unclear that I absolutely had idea what the author is asking for. A couple of good examples are: "On graph paper, Maya draws a path from point A —1,0 to point B 3, 5 , and then to point C 7, —3.
The path follows the lines of the paper, always moving right left, up, or down. How long is the shortest path Maya can draw? Then, I was like, "Uh? There is no reason for this one to be so unclear. Another is: "The floor plan of an enclosed area consists entirely of straight walls meeting at right angles.
The complete room has 23 inside corners and P outside corners. Find P. When I saw the solution, I laughed because the picture did not do the problem justice since what I saw was an open figure.
Why can't the author just show a picture of a closed figure or reword the problem to make it more clear? One error in the solutions: 4C of Set 1: Olympiad 4: The answer should be 9, not 8. It's simple: Numbered House: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Number of Houses: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 9 houses total on Bay Street. All in all, Math Olympiad Contest Problems: Volume 3 is an outstanding book that I've particularly enjoyed working with, and I hope to see Volume 4 coming out one day.
