In summary, The conversation is about the IPhO (International Physics Olympiad) and the books used for preparation. One person recommends Irodov's 'general problems in Physics' as a helpful resource, while another person suggests practicing previous 10-12 year problems. The conversation also mentions someone being selected for the Olympiad with less than two weeks to prepare and asking for help.
