Hall of Fame

A remark on available data: Contestants are listed here with all known results, but there are significant gaps in what we know. In particular, score distributions and sometimes the scores themselves are missing for the following contests:

  • Second Round 2004
  • Final Round 2004, 2010
  • Selection 2004, 2005, 2009

Please note that the format of the SMO rounds have changed over time: The First Round did not exist before 2021 (and what is now known as the Second Round was called the First Round back then as a result), but we have referred to the long-answer exam taking place in December/January retroactively as the Second Round throughout this page. The Second Round consisted of 5 problems before 2017, and the Final Round consisted of 10 problems before 2019. The Selection exam has always consisted of 12 problems, but the unwritten rule that the exam itself should consist of 3 problems of varying difficulties from every topic was not always present. 

Active contestants are not listed.
