0 on JMO P2

by dogeA, Apr 22, 2025, 8:53 PM

I got a 0 on this problem but I'm not really sure why, as I should be at least on the right track? Can someone tell me why I got a 0?

P2 Solution Misgrade?

by Mathandski, Apr 22, 2025, 8:03 PM

Can someone explain to me how this is a zero and not a 5? I wrote the Vieta's equivalent of "two consec zero coefficients", which was worth 5 points

I messed up the numbering and I believe that is the underlying cause of the misgrade but if someone sees any other error, please let me know so I don't wrongly email MAA.

Update: I posted this while flipping out upon seeing a zero on my P2 wanting to find a way to somehow appeal - it genuinely felt like 24JMO4 all over again. Thankfully, this -5 did not game-end my score this year

What's the easiest proof-based math competition?

by Muu9, Apr 21, 2025, 2:16 PM

In terms of the difficulty of the questions, not the level of competition. There's USAJMO, but surely there must be countries with less developed competitive math scenes whose Olympiads are easier.

usamOOK geometry

by KevinYang2.71, Mar 21, 2025, 12:00 PM

Let $H$ be the orthocenter of acute triangle $ABC$, let $F$ be the foot of the altitude from $C$ to $AB$, and let $P$ be the reflection of $H$ across $BC$. Suppose that the circumcircle of triangle $AFP$ intersects line $BC$ at two distinct points $X$ and $Y$. Prove that $C$ is the midpoint of $XY$.

    It contains a bunch of USAMO problems that are familiar to me because I did them a couple months ago.
