IOI Return

In the end I won the top silver medal at the IOI. There was a gap of 14 points above me, so this was definitely the right place to put the boundary. This year, they also had presents for the medallists: silver medallists were all given a digital camera. A few photos from this camera from the IOI can be found at http://www.martinorr.name/2005/IOI.
I returned from the IOI late on Thursday night. The week I was away was almost certainly the week during which I received the greatest volume of post of my life: exam results, a letter from school about re-marks, a letter of congratulation from the headmaster, confirmation of my student loan entitlement, and a large envelope from Trinity (plus the Cambridge Union sent their promotional booklet separately, postmarked a day earlier). The stuff from Trinity weighed in at over 500g and I spent most of Friday reading it.
