By Tutis, history, 5 years ago, In English

How often does someone get the same place in IOI two times in the row? (except winner like Benq)

    in this case, it's not "two times in the row" anymore

I found 20 pairs of same contestant having the same rank in IOI'n and IOI'n+1 in IOI Stats database.

  • 6 of them happened on rank 1. So to answer your original question, it is recorded to happen 14 times (usual disclaimers about incompleteness of the data for non-medalists in earlier years).
  • In those 20 pairs, there is only one repeat contestant. He got the same rank in three consecutive IOIs (0 points for guessing who).
  • This year is actually quite heavy on repeats, as this year 5 contestants repeated their rank from IOI 2018.
