GAIM contest problems aim to bring out the problem solving instinct in you, rather than test any particular math skills. Certainly it is helpful to have strong arithmetic skills, knowledge of specific how-to’s like prime factorization and math facts like the Pythagorean theorem - and to that end, we provide some practice problems. However, there is no “drilling” type preparation that will help; instead we hope that your practices will focus on team-building and doing a variety of problems to stretch your mind in multiple directions.
