  text: The International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) continued in 2018 in
    Beijing, China and 2019 in Warsaw, Poland with its 31st and 32nd editions. The
    IYPT is a modern scientific competition for teams of high school students, also
    known as the Physics World Cup. It involves long-term theoretical and experimental
    work focused on solving 17 publicly announced open-ended problems in teams of
    five. On top of that, teams have to present their solutions in front of other
    teams and a scientific jury, and get opposed and reviewed by their peers. Here
    we present a brief information about the competition with a specific focus on
    one of the IYPT 2018 tasks, the 'Ring Oiler'. This seemingly simple mechanical
    problem appeared to be of such a complexity that even the dozens of participating
    teams and jurying scientists were not able to solve all of its subtleties.
