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.
[*]May 19th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, What's Next After Beast Academy?, designed for students finishing Beast Academy and ready for Prealgebra 1.
[*]May 20th, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 1 Math Jam, Problems 1 to 4, join the Canada/USA Mathcamp staff for this exciting Math Jam, where they discuss solutions to Problems 1 to 4 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz!

Geometry with altitudes and the nine point centre
Adywastaken   1
N a few seconds ago by Adywastaken
Source: KoMaL B5333
The foot of the altitude from vertex $A$ of acute triangle $ABC$ is $T_A$. The ray drawn from $A$ through the circumcenter $O$ intersects $BC$ at $R_A$. Let the midpoint of $AR_A$ be $F_A$. Define $T_B$, $R_B$, $F_B$, $T_C$, $R_C$, $F_C$ similarly. Prove that $T_AF_A$, $T_BF_B$, $T_CF_C$ are concurrent.

This question just asks if you can factorise 12 factorial or not

N 15 minutes ago by Just1
Source: Azerbaijan Junior MO 2025 P1
A teacher creates a fraction using numbers from $1$ to $12$ (including $12$). He writes some of the numbers on the numerator, and writes $\times$ (multiplication) between each number. Then he writes the rest of the numbers in the denominator and also writes $\times$ between each number. There is at least one number both in numerator and denominator. The teacher ensures that the fraction is equal to the smallest possible integer possible.

What is this positive integer, which is also the value of the fraction?

Synthetic Geometry Olympiad

We are posting the problems of the Synthetic Geometry Olympiad, which was recently concluded and hosted by kaede_Arcadia and myself.

Problem 1
Let \( \triangle ABC \) be a triangle with its 9-point center \( N \) and excentral triangle \( \triangle I_A I_B I_C \). Denote the tangency points of the \( A \)-excircle with sides \( BC \), \( CA \), and \( AB \) as \( D_A, D_B, D_C \), respectively. Similarly, define \( E_A, E_B, E_C \) and \( F_A, F_B, F_C \) for the \( B \)- and \( C \)-excircles.
Let \( E_CE_A \cap F_AF_B = X \), \( F_AF_B \cap D_BD_C = Y \), and \( D_BD_C \cap E_CE_A = Z \). Let \( T \) be the radical center of the circles \( \odot(D_AYZ) \), \( \odot(E_BZX) \), and \( \odot(F_CXY) \).
Prove that the lines \( I_AX \), \( I_BY \), \( I_CZ, NT \) are concurrent.

Problem 2
Let \( \triangle ABC \) be a triangle with circumcenter \( O \), incenter \( I \) and incentral triangle \( \triangle DEF \). Let the line \( AI \) intersect \( \odot(AEF) \) again at \( X \). Similarly, define \( Y \) and \( Z \).
Let \( N_1 \) and \( N_2 \) be the 9-point centers of \( \triangle DEF \) and \( \triangle XYZ \), respectively.
Prove that the points \( O, I \), \( N_1, N_2 \) are collinear.

Problem 3
Let \( \triangle ABC \) be a triangle, and let \( (P, Q) \) be an isogonal conjugate pair. Suppose the line through \( P \) and perpendicular to \( AP \) intersects \( \odot(PBC) \) again at \( P_A \). Similarly, define \( P_B, P_C \). Suppose the line through \( Q \) and perpendicular to \( AQ \) intersects \( \odot(QBC) \) again at \( Q_A \). Similarly, define \( Q_B, Q_C \).
Let \( H_P \) and \( H_Q \) be the orthocenters of \( \triangle P_AP_BP_C \) and \( \triangle Q_AQ_BQ_C \), respectively. Define \( T = BP_B \cap CP_C \) and \( U = BQ_B \cap CQ_C \). Let \( T' \) and \( U' \) be the isogonal conjugates of \( T \) and \( U \) with respect to \( \triangle P_AP_BP_C \) and \( \triangle Q_AQ_BQ_C \), respectively.
Prove that the lines \( P_AQ_A, P_BQ_B, P_CQ_C, H_PH_Q, TU, T'U' \) are concurrent.
