Abstract: Abstract The development of mathematics is based on cooperation, collaboration, joint efforts, and joint work. Nevertheless, mathematicians compete. Indeed, they compete in many different ways, in very different races, and in diverse arenas. In this little contribution, I want to tell you about three different types of mathematics competitions that are different from the IMO.
