Reference request: Functional equations for math competitions

Question

I'm looking for some articles and resources to study functional equations to prepare for a math contest. I found some books on the internet but none of them have been written for math contests, but their readers are mainly intended to be graduate students.

You could look at Functional Equations and How to Solve Them, by Christopher Small.

There are also several sets of notes written up, if you do a hunt on Google.
