"Competitive exams have a knack for beating the passion out of people by cranking up the intensity and making the pursuit of knowledge about winning rather than about understanding." - Truer words were never spoken!

Tibees, just wanted to say I love your calming voice. It truly allows your content to be much easier to absorb, comprehend and retain.

Having gone into and completed an Astronomy, Space sciences, and Astrophysics degree, I WISH this was the sort of exam we were prepared for in the UK, and not been just an afterthought of a Physics/Mathematics program. I would have loved learning working towards this. An interesting exam paper for sure.

So true! Exams absolutely dissipated the passion i had with science, out of me. Especially obscure formulas and statistics. Fortunately I followed my second passion, art, and got into design, film and conservator/restoration

My grandson who is excellent with math complained about doing a recent homework paper. I’m a nurse not an astrophysicist but I love watching your videos. I told my grandson that math is a door that opens a wonderful world. Then I listed all the things he enjoys and told him when he gets older by learning math all the doors will be open. His mom said he hasn’t complained about homework since ❤

Although the subjects discussed are from an area I have no knowledge of, I enjoy watching these videos because I learn a little more. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I love watching your videos.

That's the problem with competition, it's a double edge sword, on one hand it creates a greater motivation to be the winner but on the other hand takes the joy from the others and causes many to quit out of disparity, and as we all know more heads are better than one making the final answer easier to find. Maybe if we were ants all the answers would be available to us already.

“The pursuit of knowledge (is) about winning rather than about joy or knowledge” is one of the most profound statements I have ever experienced. As a docent at DMNS it gives me a unique perspective with which to approach our visitors so they don’t lose sight of my goal as their connection to science learning. Thank you for your most beloved YouTube channel.

Thank you for helping people with physics and understanding it. Your work is really appreciated and I must say that you understand physics very well.Thank you for helping people with physics and understanding it. Your work is really appreciated and I must say that you understand physics very well.

This is quite interesting. Thank you for shining a light (no pun intended) on a fascinating test, and also noting potential pitfalls.

I love going out at night and identifying the constellations that point to other celestial objects, which makes it so much easier to find what you are looking for. The little butterflies are pretty on your nails. Thanks for the interesting subjects.
-
The questions look conceptual and application of basic concepts instead of cranking up formulae. Really interesting - tried a few questions, and it reminded me of my love for physics and astronomy. The best thing is most of the details are given in the question. All you really need to do is think.

Astrophysicists.......Excellent.... Star gazing a fantastic hobby for us non math majors ...first time viewer going to check your other videos
-
Always nice to see your passion for academic test

6:23 I still remember when I was in class 6th in 2017, our school took some students including me to Sariska, Rajasthan, in November when it's extremely cold in such a place. We stayed up until late night 2am learning how to use a telescope and learning night sky observation. I didn't take note of how cold it is until I looked at my phone back in my hotel room. Similar experience when we went there again for 3 days in 2018. It was a magical experience looking at the night sky filled with stars like that

Thank you Tibees, for reminding me the love I have for astronomy

Love this video! Thank you.

I could listen to this all the time.💐💝

Thank you for your valuable content.

I was there when the question was proposed in IOAA 2019 as Team leader. You failed to mention the most interesting problem from this year. The South-Est-North problem.
