Students who are able and interested in the competition would benefit by appreciating that physics is not constrained by what is in their syllabus.
I have a slightly different view on the "difficult olympiad questions"
One of the useful skill in life is able to face challenge and have confidence even before it is solved. It is a good training to tackle those difficult questions, the solution is not important, but the process is.
