May is an exciting month! National MATHCOUNTS is the second week of May in Washington D.C. and our Founder, Richard Rusczyk will be presenting a seminar, Preparing Strong Math Students for College and Careers, on May 11th.

Are you interested in working towards MATHCOUNTS and don’t know where to start? We have you covered! If you have taken Prealgebra, then you are ready for MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics. Already aiming for State or National MATHCOUNTS and harder AMC 8 problems? Then our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced course is for you.

Summer camps are starting next month at the Virtual Campus in math and language arts that are 2 - to 4 - weeks in duration. Spaces are still available - don’t miss your chance to have an enriching summer experience. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following upcoming events:
[list][*]May 9th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, Casework 2: Overwhelming Evidence — A Text Adventure, a game where participants will work together to navigate the map, solve puzzles, and win! All are welcome.

I would like to bring to the community's attention the actions of an integrity-less, dishonest cheater. We will make out of this loser an example. Let me make it clear that I don't care whatever actions this user chooses to pursue in the future. They will reap the seeds of their wrongdoing, which they knowingly and willingly sowed themselves. They have no excuse for their inexcusable actions.

Fact #1: Anticodon qualified USAJMO through AMC index after getting barely a 114 on the AMC10B this year. They claim to have solved 14 problems on the AIME, and got 13 correct.
Proof: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3514242p34115225 (Post #10)
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514060647/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3514242p34115225

This is extremely suspicious by itself, but of course we cannot simply call someone a cheater from their score. Obviously there is some boundary to which getting lucky or unlucky can affect your score, and 93 on AMC12A and 114 on AMC10B to 13 on AIME is obviously pushing that boundary. But let's see what else we have.

Fact #2: They cannot solve many early middle school level problems
Evidence: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3454526p33354305
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514070149/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3454526p33354305
It's not only wrong, they also used AI, because they didn't know how to do it; check the following image: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1218356881446408192/1367329444200583369/image.png?ex=682553c7&is=68240247&hm=fd00c3c5fd0d80571ab1e190dcfdfa37c374e8dd499a80f0185f5b98b77cfeaf&

Evidence: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h3465216p33498941
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514070528/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h3465216_help_with_2022_amc_10_a_question (Post #12)
This whole paragraph is absolute gibberish. For starters, $\frac{abc}{999}=\frac{1}{3}\cdot(\frac{a}{9}+\frac{b}{9}+\frac{c}{9})$ is clearly not true. Even a 1st grader can see that. And what does "a number not a product" mean? A product is a number? Literally makes 0 sense.

Fact #3: They claim to be very good at trig
Proof: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h3382843p33181682
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250506020552/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h3382843p33181682

Fact #4: Yet they cannot seem to understand the fundamentals of trig
Evidence: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c123h3455648_5236_transcendental_number_with_integer_coefficients
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514071755/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c123h3455648_5236_transcendental_number_with_integer_coefficients (#26 and #31)
They decided to just copy dolphinday's solution. It's clear they do not understand a thing about it. :| Seriously?

Evidence: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h3442725p33193970
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514071318/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h3442725p33193970
NOTE: wangzrpi = anticodon. Just check their blogs and posts.
Anyways, I don't see how any kind of trig god as anticodon makes themselves out to be can not realize that $\tan(x) = \cot(\frac{pi}{2}-x)$.

Fact #5: They have extremely strange, inconsistent behavior
Evidence: https://web.archive.org/web/20250509034013/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c4114443h3564842
Check their attached screenshot. Why don't they write $-8\sqrt{13} + 9\sqrt{13}$ as $\sqrt{13}$? What's wrong with them? Even a 1st grader can see that's so easy to simplify. Not to mention them acting all high and mighty since they memorized the cosine addition formula... so annoying.

Fact #6: They have extremely low mathematical (not to mention mental...) maturity
Proof: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3564811p34779811
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514061542/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3564811

#1 and #9 are the same, how did the trig god not understand that simple trigonometric/complex fact?

#8 is a definition, not a formula. Can't get even the simplest things right?

#6 is complete nonsense, not even a formula. Where are all these random variables coming from? Just trying to "show off" again huh, well no one's impressed, because we aren't idiots we can see it's just a bunch of garbage just like their brain.

#4 is common sense, are they really that hungry for attention that they'll just write a bunch of trivial integrals and try to pass it off as something so "cool" and "top 10" and whatnot??? same goes for #10.

#5 why can't they just say what x' and y' is? rotation by theta degrees counterclockwise you mean? oh i know, because u don't know what they mean.

It's clear throughout this whole post they're just trying to "flex" on everyone else, it's hilarious yet annoying and stupid at the same time.

Fact #7: They don't understand a thing about mathematics; rather, they're obsessed with keeping up a facade of "prodigiousness" or something
Proof: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h420395p34822492
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514072408/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h420395p34822492

If you can't understand the problem, "prove the quadratic doesn't have negative roots" does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. when will this arrogance end?

Fact #8: They're egotistical and proud. Yet wrong, again and again.
To add on to the examples showing this previously:
Evidence: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h3479026p33709927
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514073137/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h3479026p33709927
What kind of "advice" is "try USAMTS?" The person who asked needs help figuring out proofs, you don't just shove a bunch of random problems in their face. What even is common sense at this point?

They are clearly just trying to boost their ego by dishing out garbage "helpful" advice to others who are more experienced than them. While they clearly, know nothing.

Evidence: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3473318p33671683 (#66)
Backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514064308/https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3h3473318p33671683
Woah, they're so advanced to know what's Mandlebrot Set equation, wow everyone go orz them oh wait it's wrong, who would've guessed from their previous track record? For future reference it's $Z_{n+1}=Z_n^2+C$ if you do go around, acting like some kind of god again, "anticodon." Everyone will worship you finally for being able to copy from Google correctly!...

Except no one will worship you anymore, and no one ever did, because you are just an egotistical, privileged, idiot. Don't ever whine about "hard work," when those born into lower classes have worked harder than you could have ever imagined, yet achieved less, simply because they were less lucky and born into a place where they were not nurtured with as much time and money as you, who was born into the upper rank. But in the end, it doesn't matter. Everything falls at the same speed, including you who thinks you are somehow invincible and arrogant enough to be doing this idiocy on AoPS.

Morals?
We will make an example out of the wickedness of this ungrateful, arrogant piece of trash.

NOTE: Sometimes Internet Archive bugs out while saving webpages. I have screenshots of all their posts, notify me immediately if "anticodon" begins editing their posts. I have screenshots of everything, but since I'm a new user I can't attach files. I've saved all evidence of wrongdoing.

I will deliver justice.
