100th post! (actually 105)
K1mchi_   63
N 13 minutes ago by Yihangzh
here’s a math problem!
if the aops forum has 50 users and the users post once a minute, then how many posts will be made in a week? note that Fred and ted are twins and Elizabeth only visits the forum on weekends. assume that the users do not post during the 5 hour school day and 8 hours of sleep, but also that they have no life and only grind AOPS. it is not a leap year

anyway

this is my 105th post and I feel like I’ve grown a lot
not rlly lol
i have remained the same perfect person hahaha

What Are The Chances?
IbrahimNadeem   65
N 16 minutes ago by peelybonehead
Hello, I'm curious to have honest advice on how far I can make it (by 11th-12th grade-ish);

If I have:

- Started AMC 8 study in 6th grade
- Started AMC 10 study in 7th grade
- Started practicing harder & went from 60 to around 100 on AMC 10 (on practice tests with official conditions)
- Started AMC 12 study in 8th grade
- Currently (fall of 8th grade) getting ~120 on AMC 10/12 & 7-10 while practicing AIME

At this rate, what are the chances of me making the USA(J)MO, for example, by ~11th grade?

Please be completely honest and don't hold back; This can be useful to see if I have the need to practice harder.

the factorization doesn't necessarily have a (x-r) in it? so if you have something like (x^3+ax^2+bx+c)(x^3+dx^2+ex+f), cf can still be 8
idk the answer to this yet, but i will try later if i feel like it. otherwise, other people go ahead and try it
