<p>I just took the AIME 2, but I can’t talk about it right now because Americans are taking it like half a day after us. Unfortunately it’s again harder than the AIME 1 (like last year) and less brute-forcible than this year’s AIME 1, but I think MAA probably won’t give separate USAMO index for AIME 1 and 2 :(. I checked my answer with a guy who represented his country at IMO last year. I got a 10 with 2 stupid mistakes. I really hope I make the USAMO. The official results are coming out around April 8th maybe? But if you guys lost the patience feel free to send me the answers, I will send you the score after I check it with my friend’s answer key. Hope we all make it to the USAMO! :)</p>

<p>you are not allowed to discuss even the difficulty.</p>

<p>sorrry. Let’s don’t talk then.</p>

<p>I got the first 13, then my lack of geometry skills kicked in. I’d say marginally harder than I, but still very doable.</p>

<p>note to self: normal people interpret “I raped AIME” completely differently.</p>

<p>edit: wait, how did you take it yesterday? Isn’t that against regulations?</p>

<p>u can take it earlier</p>

<p>bestswimmer is from canada, and their time’s diff than the states
i too took it a day early due to schedule conflcits
my teacher/proctor got permission from maa however
:]</p>

<p>and i actually found this test to be slightly easier than the first, although i didn’t even get to 13-15</p>

<p>hm, on I I could set everything up, just couldn’t finish the stewarts bash on 15. I forgot I could pull out the rational roots theorem, as usually it’s so useless for contests.</p>

<p>stop messaging me to compare answers, my test booklet and scratch paper was confiscated until tomorrow.</p>

7

<p>is it just me or are the number of posts significantly less than the one for AIME 1?</p>

8

<p>btw if anyone wants to compare answers, PM me</p>

<p>Well, the AIME II was only administered yesterday, and discussion of the 2010 AIME II is still banned (at least according to the AoPS forums).</p>

<p>But, as a partial explanation, more people take the AIME I than the AIME II. I think this holds over all years; I took the AIME I (the AIME II would have been administered during my spring break).</p>
