In summary, the conversation is about preparing for the physics olympiad, with the first stage taking place in three months. The individual has completed H.C. Verma and is now studying university physics and the Arihants IPHO book. They are asking for suggestions and wondering why Chinese students are often winners at the olympiad. However, the other person advises not to worry about the Chinese and to focus on doing their best. They recommend reading concepts and practicing many new model problems for the Arihant book, as well as being aware of the time constraint of 60 questions in 2 hours. The conversation also mentions the possibility of section 2 questions and the potential influence of "tiger moms" on Chinese students' success

yeah arihant olympiad is a good book first try reading concepts and do many new model problems as more as possible then i bet you can get it. 60 questions 2 hours is not sufficient so you need to be aware of that model question for section 1 only.For section 2 you need to think for that.

Tiger moms slap their kids 10 times more often.
