The incircle of a non-isosceles triangle $ABC$ with the center $I$ touches the sides $ BC, CA, AB$ at $ A_1 , B_1 , C_1 $ respectively. The line $AI$ meets the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $A_2 $. The line $B_1 C_1 $ meets the line $BC$ at $A_3 $ and the line $A_2 A_3 $ meets the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $A_4 (\ne A_2 ) $. Define $B_4 , C_4 $ similarly. Prove that the lines $ AA_4 , BB_4 , CC_4 $ are concurrent.

The diagonals of a trapezoid $ ABCD$ intersect at point $ P$. Point $ Q$ lies between the parallel lines $ BC$ and $ AD$ such that $ \angle AQD = \angle CQB$, and line $ CD$ separates points $ P$ and $ Q$. Prove that $ \angle BQP = \angle DAQ$.

Alright, if you look at any other user's page, you'll see a number attached to artofproblemsolving.com/community/users/(number). That number signifies the place in when that person entered. Alright. If i got the number 1163, I was the 1163rd person to join. But then who was the first one? With the number 1?

To all AoPS users and admin,
Sometimes I came across the marathon(i .e number theory marathon, functional equation marathon etc) which allow access only after submitting log in request.There is no other way to access the question related to that marathons.It would be glad to open all private marathons publicly.Thank you!

k Mathcounts trainer slow?
HM2018   0
May 26, 2025
Summary of problem: The Mathcounts Trainer is slow again.
URL Page: https://artofproblemsolving.com/mathcounts_trainer/play
If you answer a question, it takes so long for it to show you the answer.
Behavior (expected): Should show the answer pretty quickly (wasn't Mathcounts Trainer updated recently?)

Character encoding?
char0221   0
May 26, 2025
Summary of the problem: When using the "js", "java", "c", and "cpp" code tags, a left square bracket (i.e. "[") does not show. Instead, "[" appears.
Page URL: Any AoPS message board or community area.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new message.
2. Inside, use a coding language template. I have not tried the following: Ruby, Go, C# (is there even on for C#?), and Python
3. Type "[".
4. Watch in amazement as your code is ruined.
Expected behavior: Inside the template, should make "[" appear.
Frequency: 100%
Operating system(s): macOS Sequoia
Browser(s), including version: Safari 18.4
Additional information: See below.
-|-leftbracket-|-]

It is "[" next to "]". Only the left bracket does not render.

k Introducing myself at AoPS, and what's your magic wand?
asuth_asuth   1193
N May 23, 2025 by Penguin117
Hi!

I'm Andrew Sutherland. I'm the new Chief Product Officer at AoPS. As you may have read, Richard is retiring and Ben Kornell and I are working together to lead the company now. I'm leading all the software and digital stuff at AoPS. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! I'm really excited to be part of the special community that is AoPS.

Previously, I founded Quizlet as a 15-year-old high school student. I did Course 6 at MIT and then left to lead Quizlet full-time for a total of 14 years. I took a few years off and now I'm doing AoPS! I wrote more about all that on my blog: https://asuth.com/im-joining-aops

I have a question for all of you. If you could wave a magic wand, and change anything about AoPS, what would it be? All suggestions welcome! Thank you.

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC a triangle
2. D, E two point on the segment BC so that BD = DE= EC
3. M, N the midpoint of ED, AE
4. H the orthocenter of the acutangle triangle ADE
5. 1, 2 the circumcircle of the triangle DHM, EHN
6. P, Q the second point of intersection of 1 and BM, 2 and CN
7. U, V the second points of intersection of 2 and MN, PQ.

Prove : UV is parallel to PM.

Sincerely

Well, from the EGMO problem, we know that $(PMQN)$ is cyclic, and we also have $(QNUV)$ cyclic, so $UV \parallel PM$.

Yes of course...
My idea was to prove that (PMQN) is cyclic without using this result. If we prove that UV //PM , Egmo is directly solved...

What do you think of the parallel approach... It must be a synthical proof...

Thank very much for your interest....

Very sincerely

Dear,

If we add to the hypothesis

8. X, Y the second points of intersection of 1 and MN, PQ.

then U, V, X, Y are concyclic (to prove)

and we can finish with the Reim's theorem as it was your first idea...

Sincerely

Jean-Louis
