I am deeply interested in Kolmogorov's probability contest whose tests could be found in English for the five first years but there is no English translation to its problems from round 6 onward. I have put the links to the original Russian problems and would be grateful to the contribution of Russian speakers in this forum to translate the questions to English.

Many thanks in advance

    $\begingroup$ It may sound cynic, but there is in fact a Springer book "Russian for mathematicians" (e.g. it trains declination of nouns with Число (number) and adjectives with дистрибутивны (distributive) or the like). :) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Oh thank you for the reference. I think at some point I need to learn some russian given the abondance of russian math literature that has not been translated to English. I hope a russian speaker around will help for the time being. My post is also meant to draw the attention of forum members to this interesting contest $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ This type of question is neither disallowed by the FAQ nor explicitly recommended. However, it seems like a question that would be best handled on this site. The translated questions might prove good for the site. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I've translated 6-8, but want to run through them again before I post them somewhere. There are some really cool problems in there. $\endgroup$

I have uploaded KCd's translation of the questions for year 5 and my translation of the questions for years 6-8 here.

Please let me know if anything is unclear.

This post is for links to problems in the translation that have been asked on the site:

Problem 10, 7th Kolmogorov Student Olympiad in Probability Theory
(Also previously discussed in this stats.SE question.)
