The Soifer (formerly Colorado) Mathematical Olympiad differs from other Olympiads in a number of essential ways. We offer the same problems to all Olympians, who usually range from grade 6 through 12. This requires us to lean not on knowledge but instead on ingenuity and originality of our Olympians. Another distinction is our sources of inspiration. We often use old and new research mathematical and historical papers to squeeze out of them Olympiad-style gems of ideas. Then we dress them up to obtain exciting 'stories' that our Olympians enjoy. In this essay I will share with you the following story-problems: • "In Order to Form a More Perfect Union. . ." [Minimizing Disagreements in the United Nations], problem 27.4, 2010 [2]; • A Dream for a Peaceful Ukraine, problem 31.3, 2014; • (DNA of) Love and Death, problem 22.5 2005 [2]; • Stopping the Ebola Epidemics, problem 33.4, 2016.
