语言学奥林匹克竞赛——用逻辑推理破解陌生语言的规律（玛雅象形文字、约鲁巴语语法等），无需任何外语基础。四人组队参赛，顶尖队伍可晋级国际语言学奥林匹克。
Niche but extraordinary. For high-school-age kids interested in any of: languages, linguistics, cryptography, CS theory, math, philosophy. Skip for primary kids — content is too abstract. Mention to kids planning HSC subjects in language / English Extension / Software Design — OzCLO is genuinely fun + signals real intellectual interest.

小众但极具分量。适合对以下任一方向感兴趣的高中生：语言、语言学、密码学、CS理论、数学、哲学。小学阶段的孩子就跳过——内容太抽象。如果孩子在规划HSC选科，涉及语言类、English Extension或Software Design，不妨提一提OzCLO——既有意思，又能体现真正的学术兴趣。
