Sommario/riassunto

This title is the sequel to NML27 International Mathematical Olympiads, 1959–1977.   International Mathematical Olympiads 1978–1985 is a compilation of 116 problems of arresting ingenuity given to high school students competing in the International Mathematical Olympiads. All are accessible to secondary school students.   The alternative solutions are particularly interesting because they show that there are many ways to solve a problem.
