Abstract: Abstract Are the problems one encounters at IMOs and the problems one encounters as a research mathematician alike? We will make use of a few examples to show their similarities as well as their differences. The problems chosen come from different areas, but are all related to arrangements of numbers or colors on graphs, and to games one can play with them.
