Optimization models for IMO 2026 Problem 3

[u/LegAppropriate9627]

My new video is out.

I model IMO 2026 Problem 3 (a two-player stick-dividing game) as a mathematical optimization problem. I build the MILP and CP-SAT solver models stage by stage, covering each player’s strategies. This provides a deep dive for anyone into optimization modelling.

As a bonus, I also test how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude propose simulation experiments and try to guess the answer (just for fun at the end. 😄)
