Fun fact:

🇷🇴 Romania’s president, Nicușor Dan, was one of the 11 students to solve the legendary Problem 6 at the 1988 IMO.

He scored a perfect 42/42 that year, alongside future Fields Medalist 🇻🇳 Ngô Bảo Châu. 🇨🇦 Ravi Vakil also solved it.

🇦🇺 Terence Tao, aged just 13, got 1/7 on that problem, aced almost everything else, and still won a gold medal. @tao

In fact, Dan won two consecutive perfect-score gold medals at IMO (1987 & 1988).
