  American Mathematics Competitions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) is a series of high school mathematics contests used to select the six-member team to represent the United States at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
The American Mathematics Competitions is also the name of the organization, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, responsible for creating, distributing and coordinating the AMC contests, which include the American Mathematics Contest (AMC), the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), and the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).
The answer to each of the 15 questions on the AIME is an integer between 0 and 999 inclusive, so while it is technically a multiple-choice test, it is not one in practice.

 American Invitational Mathematics Examination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AIME (or American Invitational Mathematics Examination) is a 15-question test given since 1983 to those who score above 100 on the AMC 12 high school mathematics contest (formerly known as the AHSME), and those who score above 120 on the AMC 10.
The AIME is the second of two tests used to determine qualification for the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO), the first being the AMC.
The exam consists of 15 questions, where each answer is an integer between 000 and 999 inclusive.

Natee Pitiwan was the only student in the country to score a perfect 15 on last month's American Invitational Mathematics Examination.
Factor in the "invitational" part -- meaning those 12,476 were the only ones who qualified from the roughly 200,000 who took two previous exams -- and it should start to register in your mind that this is the cream of the crop, squared.
But before Pitiwan returns to Thailand for the summer and starts planning a long mathematical career of one kind or another -- he is leaning toward teaching -- he isn't about to pass up the chance to test himself one more time.
