AI Thread Summary
Starting physics Olympiad preparation now is feasible, with three months until the first stage. Completing H.C. Verma and working through university physics and Arihant's IPHO book are solid steps. It's crucial to focus on understanding concepts and practicing a variety of model problems, as the exam format can be challenging, with 60 questions in 2 hours.

Emphasizing personal effort and preparation is key to success in the competition.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
