How about an AOPS MO?

by MathMaxGreat, Jul 11, 2025, 2:37 AM

I am planning to make a $APOS$ $MO$, we can post new and original problems, my idea is to make an competition like $IMO$, 6 problems for 2 rounds
Any idea and plans?

Nice and Difficult Geometry (Collinearity)

by RANDOM__USER, Jul 9, 2025, 2:36 PM

Let \( D \) be an arbitrary point on the side \( BC \) of triangle \( \triangle ABC \). Let \( E \) and \( F \) be the intersections of the lines through \( D \), parallel to \( AC \) and \( AB \), with \( AB \) and \( AC \), respectively. Let \( G \) be the intersection point of the circumcircle of \( \triangle AFE \) with the circumcircle of \( \triangle ABC \). Let \( M \) be the midpoint of \( BC \), and let \( X \) be the intersection point of line \( AM \) with the circumcircle of \( \triangle ABC \). Prove that \( X \), \( D \), and \( G\) are collinear.

Good integer sequences

by fattypiggy123, Mar 11, 2019, 8:45 AM

Call a sequence of positive integers $\{a_n\}$ good if for any distinct positive integers $m,n$, one has
$$\gcd(m,n) \mid a_m^2 + a_n^2 \text{ and } \gcd(a_m,a_n) \mid m^2 + n^2.$$Call a positive integer $a$ to be $k$-good if there exists a good sequence such that $a_k = a$. Does there exists a $k$ such that there are exactly $2019$ $k$-good positive integers?

Bounded function satisfying averaging condition

by 62861, Dec 11, 2017, 5:00 PM

Find all functions $f\colon \mathbb{Z}^2 \to [0, 1]$ such that for any integers $x$ and $y$,
\[f(x, y) = \frac{f(x - 1, y) + f(x, y - 1)}{2}.\]

Sum of lengths of each pair of opposite sides of q is equal

by Amir Hossein, Oct 4, 2011, 3:18 AM

The feet of the perpendiculars from the intersection point of the diagonals of a convex cyclic quadrilateral to the sides form a quadrilateral $q$. Show that the sum of the lengths of each pair of opposite sides of $q$ is equal.

Reflection

by cmtappu96, Dec 5, 2010, 11:38 AM

Let $ABC$ be a triangle in which $\angle A = 60^\circ$. Let $BE$ and $CF$ be the bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ with $E$ on $AC$ and $F$ on $AB$. Let $M$ be the reflection of $A$ in line $EF$. Prove that $M$ lies on $BC$.

AI || OH iff BAC = 120 degrees

by Amir Hossein, Sep 1, 2010, 8:12 AM

Let $I,H,O$ be the incenter, centroid, and circumcenter of the nonisosceles triangle $ABC$. Prove that $AI \parallel HO$ if and only if $\angle BAC =120^{\circ}$.

Asian Pacific Mathematical Olympiad 2010 Problem 4

by Goutham, May 7, 2010, 6:50 PM

Let $ABC$ be an acute angled triangle satisfying the conditions $AB>BC$ and $AC>BC$. Denote by $O$ and $H$ the circumcentre and orthocentre, respectively, of the triangle $ABC.$ Suppose that the circumcircle of the triangle $AHC$ intersects the line $AB$ at $M$ different from $A$, and the circumcircle of the triangle $AHB$ intersects the line $AC$ at $N$ different from $A.$ Prove that the circumcentre of the triangle $MNH$ lies on the line $OH$.
