In this article, we propose the use of Olympic didactic situations (SDO), such as those used in National Science Olympiad (ONC), Brazilian (OBC), among others, an alternative for teaching kinematics, component Physics, Basic Education. Reflecting on need to work with kinematics a more attractive and challenging way, which arouses interest students. Questions from Olympics tests were analyzed ab...

A–1 Without loss of generality, assume d1 ≤ d2 ≤ ·· · ≤ d12. If d2 i+2 < d 2 i + d 2 i+1 for some i ≤ 10, then di,di+1,di+2 are the side lengths of an acute triangle, since in this case d2 i < d 2 i+1+d 2 i+2 and d 2 i+1 < d 2 i +d 2 i+2 as well. Thus we may assume d2 i+2 ≥ d2 i + d2 i+1 for all i. But then by induction, d2 i ≥ Fid 1 for all i, where Fi is the i-th Fibonacci number (with F1 = F...

The Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad (OzCLO) started in 2008 in only two locations and has since grown to a nationwide competition with almost 1500 high school students participating in 2013. An Australian team has participated in the International Linguistics Olympiad (ILO) every year since 2009. This paper describes how the competition is run (with a regional First Round and ...

Since its emergence as a respectable scientific discipline nearly a half century ago, the electromagnetic Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been dominated by three classes of practitioners: government agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations surviving on a combination of private contributions and research grants. Recent technological advances have brought ...
