Thirty-eight out of forty-two
The official EGMO 2024 scoreboard records Aino Aulanko of Finland on 38 points out of 42, ranked joint second overall, with a gold medal. She shares the placing and the score with Cloris Xu of Australia.
One contestant finished above them: Hannah Fox of the United States, on 41. Three marks separate first from joint second, which on a paper of six proof problems marked out of seven apiece can amount to a single unfinished case in a single argument.
The shape of the paper
EGMO sets six problems, each marked out of seven. The maximum is 42, and the scoreboard's structure makes the marking visible: full sevens appear repeatedly against individual problems across the table, while totals close to the ceiling are scarce.
That is because the paper rewards complete arguments, not answers. Partial credit follows the progress of a proof, so a contestant who sees the key idea for a hard problem and writes it out properly can outscore one who makes headway on several and finishes none. Consistency across all six is what produces a total in the high thirties.
A small country near the top
The 2024 scoreboard lists roughly fifty participating countries, most fielding teams of four, which puts the field at around two hundred contestants, every one of them selected through a national process. Finland is among the smallest of the mathematical powers represented.
Against that backdrop, a joint-second finish is an outlier result rather than a national trend, and the scoreboard records it without comment. The competition is named for Europe but not restricted to it: the contestant who finished first came from the United States, and the one who shared second place with Aulanko came from Australia.
What a gold medal means here
Olympiad medals are awarded by score band rather than by fixed rank, so a gold indicates that a contestant reached the highest tier of a paper written to defeat the best school-age mathematicians in the world. There is no reference material, no calculator that helps, and no partial answer that substitutes for a proof.
Two hundred contestants sat that paper in Tskaltubo. Two of them, from Finland and Australia, finished on 38 points and shared second place in the world. It is the kind of result that ends up in a national federation's annual report and, in most cases, nowhere else.

Passer le test de QI →What is documented — and what is not
The firm facts come from the olympiad's own scoreboard: 38 points out of 42, joint second overall, a gold medal, the 2024 edition, the host city of Tskaltubo in Georgia, and the names above and alongside her. Results published by the organisation that ran the competition are the most reliable evidence available for records of this kind.
Everything personal is missing. No age, date of birth, school, home town or photograph appears in the source, and there is no interview, no statement from the Finnish team and no account of what she has done since. Whether she competed at other olympiads is not recorded on this page.
