Mes­sage from the organ­iz­ing committee

November 8, 2024

Dear par­ti­cipants, regis­tra­tion in your per­son­al account is avail­able again.

Mes­sage from the organ­iz­ing committee

November 7, 2024

Good morn­ing!

Dear par­ti­cipants, we have a major fail­ure. Over 2000 accounts have been registered in the last few days. Unfor­tu­nately, many people make a mis­take in their email address when regis­ter­ing, so our serv­er is tem­por­ar­ily blocked.

The organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee is already dis­cuss­ing the pos­sib­il­ity of extend­ing the qual­i­fy­ing round. We will def­in­itely let you know!

The Olympi­ad tasks are avail­able on the web­site. You can solve them without regis­tra­tion, and after restor­ing access, enter them into the system.

We apo­lo­gize!

Start of the qual­i­fy­ing round

October 20, 2024

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

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

The win­ners of Olympi­ad 2023/24 (those with Dip­lo­mas I‑III) can par­ti­cip­ate dir­ectly in the final round.

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».

How to sub­mit solutions

To par­ti­cip­ate in the «For­mula of Unity» / «Third Mil­len­ni­um» 2024/25 Eng­lish olympi­ad, it is neces­sary to sub­mit solu­tion by the dead­line of 23:59:59 UTC on Novem­ber 13, 2024 (which is 02:59:59 Moscow time on Novem­ber 14). Please register in our inform­a­tion sys­tem and sub­mit your solu­tions through the per­son­al account. Import­ant: if you already have an account, there is no need to cre­ate a new one.

Be sure to read the par­ti­cip­a­tion instructions.

We do not accept qual­i­fy­ing round works in any way oth­er than through upload­ing with­in the inform­a­tion system.

Ques­tions?

All ques­tions to the Organ­iz­ing Com­mit­tee about the prob­lem con­di­tions and the pro­ced­ure for con­duct­ing the Olympi­ad can be asked by email olimp@​formulo.​org or +7(981)-750–19-21 Alex­an­dra (write in What­s­app or Telegram).
