You guys seem too emotional! Afterall, it is only a
game. And, in a game, there is a winner and a ... eh ...
loser. Otherwise, we do not have a game. Remember the
classical probability question: "Consider the statement 'In
a tennis championship there are 6 players. The probability
that each player will win is 1/5. What is wrong with this
statement?'". You all should be able to answer this
question easily. Having answered the question, I believe
that you should have a break with a red wine on your hand
in the living room. Reflection.
Now we are not strong physically, but we are indeed
strong mentally. Do not believe me? Well, here is results
of the International Mathematical Olympiad Competiton 1995
and 1996. Browse through the table (pay attention to my
***** mark) and you should feel much better. In 1996 our
team did not do as well as in 1995, but far far much better
than Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and the likes.
OK, feel much better now. Let us cheer for our
wonderful math team. Do want want "Hu+~u do~ng vo^ mu+u"?
Cheers,
Tuan V Nguyen
