Yes. I found optiver to be the best and most relevant by far. I used to do this Japanese math thing similar to optiver where you just kind of like muscle memory your brain into memorizing the results of calculations. Similar to optiver. I can go through a book let of 80 math questions in under 15 minutes (this was my peak for a 8 year old hahaha)

 

Search up the Kumon math program. It is optiver like and it builds you super fast calculation muscle memory. Highly recommend even for adults.

 

- 2 hours of mental math per day: anything from 3 digit products to rearranging complex recursive structures in your head

- contest math problems: AIME, Putnam, etc.

- competitive programming problems: bottom-up dynamic programming, bitmask dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, convex hull, sweep line, etc.

- IQ pattern matching problems

- probability problems
