Math Olympiad Solver The five things that change outcomes 1. Strip thinking before verifying — a verifier that sees the reasoning is biased toward agreement. Fresh context, cleaned proof only. 2. "Does this prove RH?" — if your theorem's specialization to ζ is a famous open problem, you have a gap. Most reliable red flag. 3. Short proof → extract the general lemma — try 2×2 counterexamples. If general form is false, find what's special about THIS instance. 4. Same gap twice → step back — the case split may be obscuring a unified argument. Three lines sometimes does what twelve pages couldn't.…
