The math olympiad is not like most tests - each problem has one or more key insights you must have in order to solve it. Get the insight; solve the problem. Don't have the insight, don't solve the problem.
This piece of advice was for preventing "get the insight, solve the problem incorrectly by making a stupid technical error".
