Dear par­ti­cipants!

Regis­tra­tion is open for the final round of the Olympi­ad, which will be held on March 3 from 10 to 14 loc­al time (In some regions, the time may dif­fer, the exact inform­a­tion can be found in the list of sites in your per­son­al account. The time in the inform­a­tion sys­tem is Moscow. We recom­mend check­ing the inform­a­tion a couple of days in advance before the Olympics, since the organ­izers can adjust the start time of the Olympics).

To select a site in your per­son­al account you need:
1) go to the “Olympi­ads” section;
2) find the Olympi­ad “Phys­ics 2023–24” in the Olympi­ads table;
3) click the green ‘Open’ but­ton under the words ‘Final stage’ next to your class number;
4) check the box next to the appro­pri­ate site.

If you have not fully entered the per­son­al data required to par­ti­cip­ate, the sys­tem will prompt you to do so.

If you do not see the win­dow for regis­ter­ing for the final stage, write to isys@​formulo.​org.

On the page with a list of sites at the top you will see your par­ti­cipant code; write it down and take it with you to the Olympics. The code must be indic­ated on each page of your Olympi­ad work. We also advise you to write down the organizer’s phone num­ber (avail­able in the site description).

We recom­mend arriv­ing at the selec­ted site 10–15 minutes before the spe­cified time to find the right room. You need to have an iden­ti­fic­a­tion doc­u­ment with you, as well as blank A4 paper. Dur­ing the Olympi­ad, you must not use tele­phones or oth­er means of communication.

Regis­tra­tion will be open until Feb­ru­ary 28, 2024 inclusive.

❗ Par­ti­cipants from Bel­gorod will have the oppor­tun­ity to write the final stage remotely; we will send you instruc­tions later in person.

The organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee has resolved the prob­lem and account regis­tra­tion is avail­able again.

A regis­tra­tion code is not required to cre­ate a new account.

To restore an already cre­ated per­son­al account, write to tech­nic­al sup­port: isys@​formulo.​org, a response to your requests may take some time.

We kindly ask you not to cre­ate new regis­tra­tions if you already have an account.

We inform you that regis­tra­tion is tem­por­ar­ily unavail­able due to a large num­ber of incor­rect email addresses. Stay tuned for updates on the Olympi­ads pages.

The organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee has decided to extend the qual­i­fy­ing round by 1 day. Solu­tions must be sub­mit­ted by 23:59:59 UTC on Novem­ber 11, 2023 (which is 02:59:59 Moscow time on Novem­ber 12).

Unless oth­er­wise spe­cified, please provide answers in SI units. Unless oth­er­wise stated in the task, the accur­acy of the answers must cor­res­pond to the accur­acy of the para­met­ers in the tasks and the attached tables.

Here is the qual­i­fy­ing (remote) round of the competition.

Please remem­ber that your solu­tion of every prob­lem should include not only the right answer, but the full reas­on­ing as well.

We will be happy if your friends who like math­em­at­ics also par­ti­cip­ate. How­ever, every assign­ment should be done indi­vidu­ally; oth­er­wise, your sub­mis­sion will not be considered.

Prob­lems

The qual­i­fy­ing round is tra­di­tion­ally held for stu­dents in grades 8–11 in a test format: for each task, you only need to enter the answer, which is either a num­ber or a let­ter. In some tasks, the answer may be a for­mula or the answer «no solu­tion».

• The qual­i­fy­ing stage is held in absen­tia with the use of dis­tance learn­ing technologies.

Dates of the cor­res­pond­ence stages of the Olympiads:
Math­em­at­ics: 20.10.23 — 10.11.23
Phys­ics: 20.10.23 — 10.11.23
Eng­lish lan­guage: 20.10.23 — 13.11.23
