Oh interesting about the kids thinking Physics Olympiad locks down browsers. I know that for the digital PSAT, which really does lock down browsers, students had to download this whole separate app and make sure it worked before the PSAT and it was a nightmare at our "Bring Your Own Device" school. (And then their servers couldn't handle the bandwidth of everyone trying to log into said app at the same time and they had to reschedule the PSAT to another date.)

This year Physics Olympiad seems to be using the EdVistas platform, which looks very official, but it's just something you open in a browser so it doesn't seem like it could possibly be locking anything down.

Ha, it sounds like we had similar experiences of the AHSME/AIME in high school! I did have some students qualify for the Physics Olympiad semifinal at my previous job, and that was pretty fun.
