I agree that the problems have gotten much simpler - several of these remind me a lot of the difficulty I saw on the AIME back in 10th-12th grade. I mean, that's still pretty advanced relatively speaking, but certainly doable by tens of thousands of high school aged students each year.

I got a perfect score on the AIME in 1998, but they didn't let Canadians write the USAMO back then. :-(
