0 on jmo
Rong0625   43
N 7 minutes ago by Nioronean
How many people actually get a flat 0/42 on jmo? I took it for the first time this year and I had never done oly math before so I really only had 2 weeks to figure it out since I didn’t think I would qual. I went in not expecting much but I didn’t think I wouldn’t be able to get ANYTHING. So I’m pretty sure I got 0/42 (unless i get pity points for writing incorrect solutions). Is that bad, am I sped, and should I be embarrassed? Or do other people actually also get 0?

[TEST RELEASED] Mock Geometry Test for College Competitions
Bluesoul   18
N 34 minutes ago by franklin2013
Hi AOPSers,

I have finished writing a mock geometry test for fun and practice for the real college competitions like HMMT/PUMaC/CMIMC... There would be 10 questions and you should finish the test in 60 minutes, the test would be close to the actual test (hopefully). You could sign up under this thread, PM me your answers!. The submission would close on March 31st at 11:59PM PST.

I would create a private discussion forum so everyone could discuss after finishing the test. This is the first mock I've written, please sign up and enjoy geometry!!

[*] If $a, b \in S$ and $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, then $ab \in S$.
[*] If for some $s \in S$, $s + 1$ is composite, then all positive divisors of $s + 1$ are in $S$.

Given m,n,p,q \in \mathbb{N+}, find all solutions to 2^{m}3^{n}+5^{p}=7^{q}$

One of the paths I've found is to boil it down to solving two non-simultaneous equations 2^{m_1}+5^{n_1}=7^{q_1} and
7^{m_1}+5^{n_1}=2^{q_1} but its too hard. Any other approaches/solutions or a continuation of this path?

Let $AB=x.$ Then, we know $BC=26-x, CD=x-4, DE=35-x, EF=x-2.$ $AB+BC+CD+DE+EF=AF$ so $x+26-x+x-4+35-x+x-2=x+55=73$ therefore $x=18$ so $CD=x-4=14.$ By Heron's we get the area of $CDG=168.$ $\triangle BGE$ has the same height as $\triangle CDG,$ so the area of $BGE=168/14*39=\boxed{468}.$

Just crank out a system of equations, and find the altitude from $G$ to this segment. Several AIME problems have shown me triangles with nice side lengths. For this one, the cute triangle was $14-30-40$. You can get it from taking the colloquial $24-32-40$, and then removing a $24-18-30$.

Sketch: Let $AB=x$ and find $BC$, $CD$, $DE$, and $EF$ in terms of $x$. Find $x=18$ using $AF=73$. Then use Heron's on $\triangle{CGD}$ and multiply by $\frac{BE}{CD}$ to get \[168\cdot \frac{39}{14}=\boxed{468}.\]
