Hello! My name is Rishabh Mahale (I'm in the 8th grade), and I love math! From the time I was young, I loved manipulating numbers and logic. For the past two years, I've gotten the Honor Roll on the AMC 8 (top 5%) and made it to state MATHCOUNTS last year. In 4th grade, I was in the top 20 nationally for Math Kangaroo.

MathLuis

problem maker

Well I'm a Bolivian guy who loves math and sometimes i like playing games.
I really had put a lot of effort for getting better at oly math  so i have to train every day (want to get something at IMO 2022 xd)
I also love making problems for contests becuase i understand when someone sees a bashy question or something kinda un-likely so I always try to propose something enjoyable for whoever takes the contest.
My future plans are going to cambridge university (or an elite university with an amazing Math Carrier for me :3) and join the oly commite of my country for proposing problems for Bolivian TST's and helping future generations.
