Bad news for the Isogonal Lemma

by anantmudgal09, May 25, 2016, 8:24 PM

Lol, it turns out that some Russians knew of it since much before we used it; this exact Lemma was a problem in the 2004 Saint Petersburg Math Olympiad Round 2 given to ninth graders as problem 6/8 (meaning they think it is easy synthetically

)

So much for our joint venture in August last year....

They knew it as a problem...not lemma right??

Also see lemma 3 in debduti's paper on neuberg problem

Why are you reading Neuberg anyway?

In fact, the Laing Zelich theorem which generalises the Neuberg cubic to isopivotal cubics also uses this Lemma.

Yeah they know it and so did our ancestors hundreds of years ago.
But finding soo many applications is our achievement and I think I would love writing an article on it.
Up for it Anant ?

Sure!

Besides, you can see that this Lemma has non-trivial (oops, i mean professionally) applications.

See Neuberg Locus by Debdyuti and Liang-Zelich Theorem

This is perhaps the single-most lemma i have seen with so many cool applications.

This I also a lemma in Geometry In Figures by Akopyan. Anyways there exists a 2 liner using barycentrics too.

it's the country of infamous geometer sharygin... so no doubt it's easy for their ninth graders, you unfortunately can't debate on this

No ideas about the cut off but should be less than 60 according to me...
So you never know
by utkarshgupta, Feb 6, 2015, 4:06 PM
Hi utkarsh,
what do u expect the cutoff to be this year??

by kgdpsdurg, Feb 6, 2015, 12:41 PM
Hi utkarsh
How many did you clear in INMO 2015?
by moldevort, Feb 1, 2015, 3:59 PM
