Well, I started competing in, you know, academic competitions.
Let's just call it that when I was around 12.
And I guess some of the highlights of that were making the U.S.
team to the International Physics Olympiad.
and the International Olympiad in informatics.
On the math side... Informatics.
Yeah, that's the programming one.
I mean, I tried to do a hat trick as far as making all three.
I was actually the first or one of the, I think, one of the first people in the U.S.
ever to make two teams.
Didn't quite make three, but, you know, it was good.
Well, so the Olympiads all have a different format.
The programming one is maybe the most, would be like the most exciting to watch.
There's actually are like, like these days, like Twitch streamers and whatnot who do that, where it's like you're, you're writing code, basically have a problem solved.
Like, I don't know, the problem could be like here, you know, here's location of two pizza places in New York, find the shortest path given traffic.
how to get from A to B, and you have to actually, like... It's not theoretical.
You actually have to write a program that would actually do it.
Right.
It's deterministic, so there's a very clear, correct answer.
Yes.
