Most mathematicians are specialists in some highly technical area. Do you have any reason to think that, say, the world's best differential topologist can help you answer these questions you have in mind?

Also: I was a reserve for the Australian IMO team... a long time ago. Is that good enough to be invited to the party?

Sounds like these are questions about the mathematical/math-competition community.

One wonders what they're attempting to do. Market to the mathematical community? Are they trying to attract mathematicians?

The mind boggles at the possibilities.
