Quadrilateral $ABCD$ has an incenter $I$ Suppose $AB > BC$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AC$. Suppose that $MI \perp BI$. $DI$ meets $(BDM)$ again at point $T$. Let points $P$ and $Q$ be such that $T$ is the midpoint of $MP$ and $I$ is the midpoint of $MQ$. Point $S$ lies on the plane such that $AMSQ$ is a parallelogram, and suppose the angle bisectors of $MCQ$ and $MSQ$ concur on $IM$.

The angle bisectors of $\angle PAQ$ and $\angle PCQ$ meet $PQ$ at $X$ and $Y$. Prove that $PX = QY$.

Game on a row of 9 squares

by EmersonSoriano, Apr 2, 2025, 10:13 PM

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Alex plays on a row of 9 squares as follows. Initially, all squares are empty. In each turn, Alex must perform exactly one of the following moves:

$(i)\:$ Choose a number of the form $2^j$, with $j$ a non-negative integer, and place it in an empty square.

$(ii)\:$ Choose two (not necessarily consecutive) squares containing the same number, say $2^j$. Replace the number in one of the squares with $2^{j+1}$ and erase the number in the other square.

At the end of the game, one square contains the number $2^n$, while the other squares are empty. Determine, as a function of $n$, the maximum number of turns Alex can make.

Is this FE solvable?

by Mathdreams, Apr 1, 2025, 6:58 PM

Find all $f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that \[f(2x+y) + f(x+f(2y)) = f(x)f(y) - xy\]for all reals $x$ and $y$.

Thanks u!

Find all $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ and
\[ f(x+y)+f(x^2+f(y))=f(f(x))^2+f(x)+f(y)+y,\forall x,y\in\mathbb{R}\]

cursed tangent is xiooix

by TestX01, Feb 25, 2025, 11:31 PM

Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Let $E$ and $F$ be the intersections of the $B$ and $C$ angle bisectors with the opposite sides. Let $S = (AEF) \cap (ABC)$. Let $W = SL \cap (AEF)$ where $L$ is the major $BC$ arc midpiont.
i)Show that points $S , B , C , W , E$ and $F$ are coconic on a conic $\mathcal{C}$
ii) If $\mathcal{C}$ intersects $(ABC)$ again at $T$, not equal to $B,C$ or $S$, then prove $AL$ and $ST$ concur on $(AEF)$

I will post solution in ~1 week if noone solves.

IMO 2018 Problem 5

by orthocentre, Jul 10, 2018, 11:19 AM

Let $a_1$, $a_2$, $\ldots$ be an infinite sequence of positive integers. Suppose that there is an integer $N > 1$ such that, for each $n \geq N$, the number
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2} + \frac{a_2}{a_3} + \cdots + \frac{a_{n-1}}{a_n} + \frac{a_n}{a_1}$$is an integer. Prove that there is a positive integer $M$ such that $a_m = a_{m+1}$ for all $m \geq M$.

IMO 2017 Problem 1

by cjquines0, Jul 18, 2017, 5:16 PM

For each integer $a_0 > 1$, define the sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots$ for $n \geq 0$ as
$$a_{n+1} = 
\begin{cases}
\sqrt{a_n} & \text{if } \sqrt{a_n} \text{ is an integer,} \\
a_n + 3 & \text{otherwise.}
\end{cases}
$$Determine all values of $a_0$ such that there exists a number $A$ such that $a_n = A$ for infinitely many values of $n$.

Ratio conditions; prove angle XPA = angle AQY

by MellowMelon, Jul 26, 2011, 9:30 PM

Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. Line $\ell$ is tangent to $\omega_1$ at $P$ and to $\omega_2$ at $Q$ so that $A$ is closer to $\ell$ than $B$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be points on major arcs $\overarc{PA}$ (on $\omega_1$) and $AQ$ (on $\omega_2$), respectively, such that $AX/PX = AY/QY = c$. Extend segments $PA$ and $QA$ through $A$ to $R$ and $S$, respectively, such that $AR = AS = c\cdot PQ$. Given that the circumcenter of triangle $ARS$ lies on line $XY$, prove that $\angle XPA = \angle AQY$.

Hey there, welcome to my other AoPS blog. Sorry everything is so incomplete — I'm really bad at naming my posts and even this blog itself. Maybe you should read my other blog instead.
