Spring is in full swing and summer is right around the corner, what are your plans? At AoPS Online our schedule has new classes starting now through July, so be sure to keep your skills sharp and be prepared for the Fall school year! Check out the schedule of upcoming classes below.

WOOT early bird pricing is in effect, don’t miss out! If you took MathWOOT Level 2 last year, no worries, it is all new problems this year! Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. 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 events:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor

flipping rows on a matrix in F2

N a minute ago by eg4334
Source: Croatia TST 2016
Let $N$ be a positive integer. Consider a $N \times N$ array of square unit cells. Two corner cells that lie on the same longest diagonal are colored black, and the rest of the array is white. A move consists of choosing a row or a column and changing the color of every cell in the chosen row or column.
What is the minimal number of additional cells that one has to color black such that, after a finite number of moves, a completely black board can be reached?

Ok so there's been no geo marathon here for more than 2 years,so lets start one,rules remain same.
1st problem.
Let $PQRS$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $\angle PSR=90°$ and let $H$ and $K$ be the feet of altitudes from $Q$ to the lines $PR$ and $PS$,.Prove $HK$ bisects $QS$.
P.s._eeezy ,try without ss line.

I accidentally refreshed the page so I will explain the very short solution of P 207 briefly. If $DKL$ is the intouch triangle, $FeT$ passes through the reflection of $L$ across $I$ (well-known). $DL' \parallel D'T$ is enough to finish. $X = BI \cap CF$, $CX/CB = FX/FB = LI/LB = CT/CD'$ as desired.

There is also another longer solution. If you define $G = (HST) \cap (HBC)$ then $GT = GS$ and $GD= GD'$. After proving $DST \sim IBC$ by cos theorem and computations (for three sides), it is evident that $DD'TS$ is cyclic. Also by using the well knowing fact above $Fe$ is on this circle by angle chasing.

Dear a22886,

Thank you for your solution to P204. It was cited on Mathematics Stack Exchange as an answer to my question.

Best regards,

Nice proof!
Actually Lemma 1 is trivial if you see everything in the Dandelin cone in 3D space.

P209: Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with $AB=AC$. A point $D$ lies inside the triangle with $|DB|=|DC|=k$. Points $E$ and $F$ lies on $BC$ and $(ABC)$ respectively such that $\angle DAE=\angle DAF=\theta$. Suppose there exist a point $G$ satisfying $\angle AGD=\theta$, $|DG|=k$, and $F$, $G$ lies on the same half-plane of $AD$.

Prove that $\angle BGE=\angle CGF$.

P210: Given a triangle $ABC$ with circumcircle $\Gamma$, the common tangent $\ell$ of $\Gamma$ and the $A$-mixtillinear incircle cuts $BC$ at $D$. The point $E$ is on $A$-mixtillinear incircle such that $DE \neq \ell$ is another tangent to that circle. $DA$ cuts $\Gamma$ at $F$, and $G$ is the touchpoint of $A$-excircle with $BC$. Prove that $D, E, F, G$ are concyclic.
