maths competitions
I’m a high schooler in a international school in Italy. I can speak English fluently and am a US citizen. Are there any competitions that I can do in Italy? I know that I can do most of the US competitions (AIME, USAMTS, etc.); are there any like those for international students?
IDK, I’ve tried google and there aren’t any results. Sorry mate.

difficult mathematics problems
It is easy to ask yourself questions or create problems in mathematics. The difficult part is how to solve them.
Do you agree? Any comments are welcome.
Or maybe it is easy to create poor questions and hard to find good questions?
Geezah and all: I am not referring to those who ask homework question to be solved but to those who genuinely ask themselves questions as they read math
SleepingDog has an interesting idea
The first step to any solution is asking the question. We have to take the complicated expressions and simplify them so we can see the "question" more clearly. Thats all that math is, just simplifying expressions to see how they relate to one another.

I’m looking for instances of characters competing in math competitions on TV shows or in movies. I have two so far: Mean Girls and Never Been Kissed.
If you can’t think of any, can you at least give me some suggestions of the TV shows that have high school kids or elementary school kids?
There’s a documentary called Hard Problems.

Now that Fermats theorem has been proven for a few years, which is the toughest problem that’s still left?

these are some hard unsolved problems. but they may not necessarily be the hardest.
