Anyone have any advice for studying for the Math Olympiad or any textbooks?

You are either underage, too old to be in high school, or not participating in the olympiad.

Your category includes every single person on the planet except those participating in the olympiad

But before this thread gets deleted, here's the best I can come up with right now. Just do practice problems. If you can't do the olympiad ones, starts with U Waterloo's Euclid past years, then move your way up to the olympiad. Literally practice problems is all you need to do. The more practice problems you do, the more little tricks you come up with, and as you come up with more little tricks, the breadth of problems you can solve intuitively right off the bat, or at least with increased ease, will slowly expand.

They actually include olympiad participants once and everyone else twice. The implication, since you are clearly too autistic to figure it out on your own, was that I am questioning why exactly OP is studying for the olympiad.

Do undergrad math subjects. Learn to prove theorems. Solve the problems from earlier years. Here's good advice: commies in the 90's. You want to get good at this nigger shit? Find some Soviet or Chinese or Romanian problems from the early 90's. Good stuff those commies did back then, shame about everything else. Not really. Niggers.

Or better yet - skip the olympiad faggotry. It's competitive mental illness for autistic nerds. And I say this as someone who has wasted his high-school years on this bullshit as well. No, I'm not just coping because I never won any awards.
There are better ways to fuel your 'tism. Nobody in the workforce is gonna ask you about your ability to memorize patterns related to abstract high-school geometry problems. Even if you work as a pure matematician, which is very unlikely, you're better off specializing in topology or just becoming a CS drone.
