Tournament of the Towns The problems are mostly combinatorial, with the occasional geometry, number theory or algebra problem. They have a different flavour to problems seen in other mathematics competitions, and are usually quite challenging. Some of the problems have become classics, in particular two from the Autumn 1984 paper. The first competition, held in the 1979–1980 academic year, was called the Olympiad of Three Towns.
