Source: Use your common sense! (enough is enough)
Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:


To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.


More specifically:

For new threads:


a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.

Examples:
Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿)
Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"


b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.

Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".


c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote]$lim_{n\to 1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n}-lnn$[/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.


For answers to already existing threads:


d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve $x^{3}+y^{3}=z^{3}$, do not answer with "$x=y=z=0$ is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "$x=1337, y=481, z=42$ is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that $x=y=z=0$ is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.

e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.



To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!


Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).

The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

Source: own
In scalene triangle $ABC$, which doesn't have right angle, let $O$ be its circumcenter. Circle $BOC$ intersects $AB$ and $AC$ at $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ for the second time, respectively. Similarly, circle $COA$ intersects $BC$ and $BA$ at $B_{1}$ and $B_{2}$, and circle $AOB$ intersects $CA$ and $CB$ at $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ for the second time, respectively. Let $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ be circumcenters of triangle $A_{1}B_{1}C_{1}$ and $A_{2}B_{2}C_{2}$, respectively. Prove that $O, O_{1}, O_{2}$ are collinear.

We say that a set $S$ of integers is rootiful if, for any positive integer $n$ and any $a_0, a_1, \cdots, a_n \in S$, all integer roots of the polynomial $a_0+a_1x+\cdots+a_nx^n$ are also in $S$. Find all rootiful sets of integers that contain all numbers of the form $2^a - 2^b$ for positive integers $a$ and $b$.

but like i intuitively understand the solutions for 1-8, 11, 13-14, and i would go over the others today but ive got mc chapter lol

i attempted to coordbash 10 lol thats where all my time went

i prolly could have gotten an 11 if i hadnt tried to do that but idk if i would have seen the construction for 14

#12 solution but brainrot

We skibidies can easily Skibidee that skibidonly $x, y \in \left[0,1 \right]$ may satisfy both functions. We, the cameramen, call function $y = 4g \left( f \left( \sin \left( 2 \pi x \right) \right) \right)$ as function 1 and function $x = 4g \left( f \left( \cos \left( 3 \pi y \right) \right) \right)$ as function 2.

for function 1, in each interval $\left[ \frac{i}{4} , \frac{i+1}{4} \right]$ with $i \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots, 3 \right\}$, function 1's value oscillates between 0 and 1. It attains 1 at $x = \frac{i}{4}$, $\frac{i+1}{4}$ and another point between these two. Between two consecutive points whose functional values arr 1, the skibidi function first decreases from 1 to (in a skibidifying way) 0 and then increases from 0 to (in a skibidifying way) 1. So the skibidi graph of this function in this interval consists of 4 monotonic pieces.

for function 2, in each interval $\left[ \frac{i}{6} , \frac{i+1}{6} \right]$ with $i \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots, 5 \right\}$, function 2's value oscillates between 0 and 1. It attains 1 at $y = \frac{i}{6}$, $\frac{i+1}{6}$ and another point between these two. Between two consecutive points whose functional values arr 1, the skibidi function first decreases from 1 to (in a skibidifying way) 0 and then increases from 0 to (in a skibidifying way) 1. So the skibidi graph of this function in this interval consists of 4 monotonic curves.

consider any region $\left[ \frac{i}{4} , \frac{i+1}{4} \right] \times \left[ \frac{j}{6} , \frac{j+1}{6} \right]$ with $i \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots, 3 \right\}$ and $j \in \left\{0, 1, \cdots , 5 \right\}$ but $\left( i, j \right) \neq \left( 3, 5 \right)$. Both functions have four monotonic pieces. Because function 1's each monotonic piece can take any value in $\left[ \frac{j}{6} , \frac{j+1}{6} \right]$ and function 2' each monotonic piece can take any value in $\left[ \frac{i}{4} , \frac{i+1}{4} \right]$, function 1's each monotonic piece intersects with function 2's each monotonic piece. Therefore, in the skibidi interval $\left[ \frac{i}{4} , \frac{i+1}{4} \right] \times \left[ \frac{j}{6} , \frac{j+1}{6} \right]$, the skibidi number of intersecting points is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz $4 \cdot 4 = 16$.

next, we, the cameramen, prove that if an intersecting point is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz on a line $x = \frac{i}{4}$ for $i \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots, 4 \right\}$, then this point must be $\left( 1, 1 \right)$.

for $x = \frac{i}{4}$, function 1 attains value 1. For function 2, if $y = 1$, then $x = 1$. Therefore, the skibidi intersecting point is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz $\left( 1, 1 \right)$.

similarly, we, the cameramen, can prove that if an intersecting point is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz on a line $y = \frac{i}{6}$ for $i \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots, 6 \right\}$, then this point must be $\left( 1, 1 \right)$.

therefore, in each region $\left[ \frac{i}{4} , \frac{i+1}{4} \right] \times \left[ \frac{j}{6} , \frac{j+1}{6} \right]$ with $i \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots, 3 \right\}$ and $j \in \left\{0, 1, \cdots , 5 \right\}$ but $\left( i, j \right) \neq \left( 3, 5 \right)$, all 16 intersecting points arr interior. That is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz, no two regions share any common intersecting point.

next, we, the cameramen, study region $\left[ \frac{3}{4} , 1 \right] \times \left[ \frac{5}{6} , 1 \right]$. Consider any pair of monotonic pieces, where one is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz from function 1 and one is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz from function 2, except the skibidi pair of two monotonic pieces from two functions that attain $\left( 1 , 1 \right)$. Two pieces in each pair intersects at an interior point on the skibidi region. So the skibidi number of intersecting points is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz $4 \cdot 4 - 1 = 15$.

finally, we, the cameramen, compute the skibidi number intersection points of two functions' monotonic pieces that both attain $\left( 1, 1 \right)$.

one trivial intersection point is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz $\left( 1, 1 \right)$. Now, we, the cameramen, study whether they intersect at another point.

define $x = 1 - x'$ and $y = 1 - y'$. Thus, for positive and sufficiently small $x'$ and $y'$, function 1 is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz reduced to\[ y' = 4 \sin 2 \pi x' \hspace{1cm} (1) \]and function 2 is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz reduced to\[ x' = 4 \left( 1 - \cos 3 \pi y' \right). \hspace{1cm} (2) \]
now, we skibidies study whether there is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz a non-zero solution. Because we skibidies consider sufficiently small $x'$ and $y'$, to (in a skibidifying way) get an intuition and quick estimate, we skibidies goon approximations of the skibidi above equations.

equation (1) is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz approximated as\[ y' = 4 \cdot 2 \pi x' \]and equation (2) is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz approximated as\[ x' = 2 \left( 3 \pi y' \right)^2  \]
to (in a skibidifying way) solve these equations, we, the cameramen, get $x' = \frac{1}{8^2 \cdot 18 \pi^4}$ and $y' = \frac{1}{8 \cdot 18 \pi^3}$. Therefore, two functions' two monotonic pieces that attain $\left( 1, 1 \right)$ have two intersecting points.

putting all analysis above, the skibidi total number of intersecting points is, as a matter of blasphemy against the unspoken rizz $16 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 + 1 = \boxed{\textbf{(385) }}$.
