k i Read me first / How to write a bug report
slester   3
N May 4, 2019 by LauraZed
Greetings, AoPS users!

If you're reading this post, that means you've come across some kind of bug, error, or misbehavior, which nobody likes! To help us developers solve the problem as quickly as possible, we need enough information to understand what happened. Following these guidelines will help us squash those bugs more effectively.

Before submitting a bug report, please confirm the issue exists in other browsers or other computers if you have access to them.

For a list of many common questions and issues, please see our user created FAQ, Community FAQ, or For the Win! FAQ.

What is a bug?
A bug is a misbehavior that is reproducible. If a refresh makes it go away 100% of the time, then it isn't a bug, but rather a glitch. That's when your browser has some strange file cached, or for some reason doesn't render the page like it should. Please don't report glitches, since we generally cannot fix them. A glitch that happens more than a few times, though, could be an intermittent bug.

If something is wrong in the wiki, you can change it! The AoPS Wiki is user-editable, and it may be defaced from time to time. You can revert these changes yourself, but if you notice a particular user defacing the wiki, please let an admin know.

The subject
The subject line should explain as clearly as possible what went wrong.

Bad: Forum doesn't work
Good: Switching between threads quickly shows blank page.

The report
Use this format to report bugs. Be as specific as possible. If you don't know the answer exactly, give us as much information as you know. Attaching a screenshot is helpful if you can take one.

Summary of the problem:
Page URL:
Steps to reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
...
Expected behavior:
Frequency:
Operating system(s):
Browser(s), including version:
Additional information:


If your computer or tablet is school issued, please indicate this under Additional information.

Example
Summary of the problem: When I click back and forth between two threads in the site support section, the content of the threads no longer show up. (See attached screenshot.)
Page URL: http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c10_site_support
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the Site Support forum.
2. Click on any thread.
3. Click quickly on a different thread.
Expected behavior: To see the second thread.
Frequency: Every time
Operating system: Mac OS X
Browser: Chrome and Firefox
Additional information: Only happens in the Site Support forum. My tablet is school issued, but I have the problem at both school and home.

How to take a screenshot
Mac OS X: If you type ⌘+Shift+4, you'll get a "crosshairs" that lets you take a custom screenshot size. Just click and drag to select the area you want to take a picture of. If you type ⌘+Shift+4+space, you can take a screenshot of a specific window. All screenshots will show up on your desktop.

Windows: Hit the Windows logo key+PrtScn, and a screenshot of your entire screen. Alternatively, you can hit Alt+PrtScn to take a screenshot of the currently selected window. All screenshots are saved to the Pictures → Screenshots folder.

Advanced
If you're a bit more comfortable with how browsers work, you can also show us what happens in the JavaScript console.

In Chrome, type CTRL+Shift+J (Windows, Linux) or ⌘+Option+J (Mac).
In Firefox, type CTRL+Shift+K (Windows, Linux) or ⌘+Option+K (Mac).
In Internet Explorer, it's the F12 key.
In Safari, first enable the Develop menu: Preferences → Advanced, click "Show Develop menu in menu bar." Then either go to Develop → Show Error console or type Option+⌘+C.

It'll look something like this:

I don't understand the topic of how you convert bases directly without going from base 10 to the base that I desire. How do I get from one base to another without the use of base 10?

I watched videos on it but I don't really get the idea.

AoPS Academy: Exporting rich format results in broken BBCode.
Minium   0
Yesterday at 6:57 AM
When exporting a rich format document in the writing tab into the message board, bold formatting specifically is broken and results in broken BBCode.
Page URL: virtual.aopsacademy.org/class/<any writing class works here>/writing

TO REPRODUCE
1. enter "Lorem ipsum".
2. apply bold to "Lorem"
3. apply italic to "ip".
4. click the Post Draft on Message Board
5. read the contents of the message board post.

FOR EXAMPLE
When I format "Lorem ipsum" (in the writing tab of course), but when I export to post it, I get

[code]Lorem[/b] ipsum[/code].

Notice that the first bolding does not start, only ends.

Contest collection PDFs don&#039;t work when LaTeX is embedded within BBCode

N Mar 14, 2025 by jlacosta
This could very well be reported before, however a quick search did not find anything.

While embedding LaTeX commands within BBCode (like this: [i]text $\dfrac{1}{2}$ text[/i]) typically displays as intended within a forum, trying to render a contest collection using these commands breaks the PDF renderer.

As outlined in this (locked) post, the forum/blog creation message is out of date. It has been over a year since that post, and it still has not changed. I don't know if this got lost somewhere in the "passing this along" chain or if it was determined to be irrelevant, but it seems like a relatively simple fix ;)

Whenever possible, I will be posting weekly (or bi-weekly) problems! They will be roughly of AMC 8 difficulty. Have fun solving!

First problem:

$20^{16}$ has how many digits?

, since semi-weekly means once every two weeks, while bi-weekly means twice a week.

A number $n$ is called $k$-scared if all of the factors of $n$ are not factors of $k$. Find the number of $6$-scared numbers less than $50$. Note that in the context of this problem, $1$ does NOT count as a factor.

Find $\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{1}{2 \cdot 3} + \frac{1}{3 \cdot 4} \cdots \frac{1}{2024 \cdot 2025}$

easiest telescoping ever

This can be written as $(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2})+(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3})...-\frac{1}{2025}$. Finally, this simplifies to $\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2025}=\frac{2024}{2025}$

I used a similar approach because my friend told me this lol, so first we have to cancel everything out except the last term and the first one so... 1-1/2+1.2-1/3-1/3.........then blah blah blah until you are left with 1-1/2025 so we get $2024/2025$

i was about to make this problem go infinitely (i.e. 1/(1*2) + 1/(2*3)..... forever)

which would coverge to $1$
