Source: Use your common sense! (enough is enough)
Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:


To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.


More specifically:

For new threads:


a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.

Examples:
Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿)
Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"


b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.

Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".


c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote]$lim_{n\to 1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n}-lnn$[/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.


For answers to already existing threads:


d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve $x^{3}+y^{3}=z^{3}$, do not answer with "$x=y=z=0$ is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "$x=1337, y=481, z=42$ is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that $x=y=z=0$ is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.

e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.



To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!


Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).

The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

Olympiad Problems Correlation with Computational?
FuturePanda   7
N 21 minutes ago by FuturePanda
Hi everyone,

Recently I;ve started doing a lot of nice combo/algebra Olympiad problems(JMO, PAGMO, CMO, etc.) and I’ve got to say, it’s been pretty fun(I’m enjoying it!). I was wondering if doing Olympiad problems also helps increase computational abilities slightly. Currently I am doing 75% computational, 25% oly but if anyone has any expreience I want to switch it to 25% computational and 75% Olympiad, though I still want to have computational skills for ARML, AIME, SMT, BMT, HMMT, etc.

If anyone has any experience, please let me know!

Thank you so much in advance!

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. For a connected simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, we consider the number $N(G)$ of orientations of (all of) its edges so that, in the resulting directed graph, every vertex has even outdegree.
Show that $N(G)$ only depends on $m$ and $n$, and determine its value.

Mock AMC 1/12
Lord.of.AMC   28
N Jan 16, 2021 by firebolt360
Hello everyone! My friend and I created a mock AMC 10, and it is almost ready. Naturally, we would need some proofreaders for the test, as we might have made some errors. Also, we are planning to also make a mock AMC 12, with some harder problems (in particular, #25 and #23, as well as some others; I will tell you in detail when you become a helper) in addition to around 12 of the same problems on the AMC 10. We would like some helpers to help us finish that. If you are interested, post on this thread (so we can keep an active list). (Note: If you help with the test, you will not be allowed to participate.)

However, if you wish to take the test, please choose only ONE contest (10 or 12) to take as there will be problems that are replicas. We will decide testing dates a little later when we are done with the test.

So, Happy New Year everyone, and thanks in advance for participating!

Helpers [4]

$\uparrow$
Copy this list.

EDIT: From now on, don't pm me saying which test you want to take. Say that when you submit solutions (e.g. put your first sentence saying "This is for the AMC 12 test" or something like that).

EDIT2: There is no longer any limit on the number of helpers. However, in order to be a helper, you can not be a participant, as I mentioned before.

Sorry, sorry, never mind my previous post! We will be releasing the AMC 10 test after all. Here it is!

It would be best to take this test before the B date. However, you may take it at any time you want, and just submit to me for grading, and I'll give you a score!

I'm glad you liked the test (I was one of the test writers too). However, due to the fact that the AMC 10/12 B is in 3 days, there won't be enough time to write another test, so that will probably have to wait until next year.

Hey everyone,

The AMC 10B is now over, so I think it would be a good idea to end the official period of this mock contest here. However, you may take this test as many times as you want (as it'll remain up), and check your answers against the answer key posted below.

Answer Key

Just so you'll know, here are the statistics.

# submissions = 11
Mean score = 108
Std. Dev. = 17.493
Max. score = 136.5
Median score = 108
Mode score = 96

Top 4 scorers:
1. SteinsChaos with a 136.5
2. NewAlbionAcademy with a 132
3. exmath89 with a 124.5
4. esque with a 115.5

Congratulations to all who took this test!!!

How did you conclude M was circumcenter, and why is the big triangle two times PTC the formed triangle(extendeD)

Also for the question where you used vietas, i understand how you got the m-n to the fourth, but why did you add the part after with like 4mn and etc, in the beginning.

We know that $M$ is the circumcenter because if we draw the circumcircle, since $\angle ACB$ is right, we know that $AB$ is a diameter. Thus the circumcenter is halfway between the endpoints of this diameter, at the midpoint of $A$ and $B$, which is $M$.

We saw that $AP$ is half of $AC$ because triangle $APN$ is similar to triangle $ACM$ with ratio $\frac{1}{2}$. Hence $CP$ is also half of $AC$, just the other half. We showed that $\triangle PTC\sim\triangle ABC$ by AA similarity, so to find the ratio we compare two corresponding sides. In this case we look at $PC$ and $AC$. The ratio of these sides is $\frac{1}{2}$ so the ratio of the triangles is $\frac{1}{2}$.

What I did for the Vieta question is I tried to write $-m^4-n^4$ as a combination of $m+n$ and $mn$. So I used $-(m+n)^4$ to knock out the $-m^4-n^4$, but that leaves me with some extra terms that we must add back in to cancel. These terms are exactly $4m^3n+6m^2n^2+4mn^3$. If we add these to $-(m+n)^4$ they cancel to give $-m^4-n^4$. Then we calculate it from there.

I hope this helps.
