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.

AMC- IMO preparation

N an hour ago by Schintalpati
I'm a ninth grader, and I recently attempted the AMC 12, getting 18 questions correct and leaving 7 empty. I started working on Olympiad math in November and currently dedicate about two hours per day to preparation. I'm feeling a bit demotivated, but if it's possible for me to reach IMO level, I'd be willing to put in more time. How realistic is it for me to get there, and how much study would it typically take?

OTIS Mock AIME 2025 airs Dec 19th

Problems are posted at https://web.evanchen.cc/mockaime.html#current now!

Like last year, we're running the OTIS Mock AIME 2025 again, except this time there will actually be both a I and a II because we had enough problems to pull it off. However, the two versions will feel quite different from each other:

[list]
[*] The OTIS Mock AIME I is going to be tough. It will definitely be harder than the actual AIME, by perhaps 2 to 4 problems. But more tangibly, it will also have significant artistic license. Problems will freely assume IMO-style background throughout the test, and intentionally stretch the boundary of what constitutes an “AIME problem”.
[*] The OTIS Mock AIME II is meant to be more practically useful. It will adhere more closely to the difficulty and style of the real AIME. There will inevitably still be some more IMO-flavored problems, but they’ll appear later in the ordering.
[/list]
Like last time, all 30 problems are set by current and past OTIS students.

Details are written out at https://web.evanchen.cc/mockaime.html, but to highlight important info:
[list]
[*] Free, obviously. Anyone can participate.
[*]Both tests will release sometime Dec 19th. You can do either/both.
[*]If you'd like to submit for scoring, you should do so by January 20th at 23:59 Pacific time (same deadline for both). Please hold off on public spoilers before then.
[*]Solutions, statistics, and maybe some high scores will be published shortly after that.
[/list]

Perhaps this is a bit of a stretch, but for next year with the excess problems you could maybe even create an "OTIS I" and "OTIS II" mock AIME like CIME did. I would suppose that given the massively varied problem quality in recent AIMEs that this would provide the most "accurate" experience for competitors prior to the real AIME (e.g. adding one problem a test as obligatory bash, oly problems, etc.)

Nonetheless still excited!

I like the difference in the two tests.

First is meant to appeal to those in olympiad like the hard CIMEs, while the second is meant to not discourage people who are new to AIME.

Can confirm high quality problems :D, yeah AIME I is very olympiad-focused. The raw "difficulty" of AIME II is actually very similar to a harder AIME like 2023, but demands more knowledge towards the end.

One weird question: When you submit, do you include leading zeroes or no? I do not want my answers to be counted wrong because it is 9 instead of 009.

Can someone please answer my question? For those of you that already submitted, did you include or exclude leading zeros in your answer(s)?

the form itself forces a 3 digit answer so you have to have leading zeros

Personally, both tests seemed to have a streak of easy problems at the beginning until the difficulty "jumped" a lot, i feel for the AIME I it occurred between problems 10 (literally just constructive counting) and 11 (feels like one of those impossible geo p14s, tried for >30 minutes and got nowhere), and for the AIME II between problems 12 (simple trig) and 13 (how).

I'd have to agree with this, but I got blocked earlier on both tests. Ended up with

AIME I: 10111 01110 00000 [7]
AIME II: 11111 11101 00010 [10]

I had the same experience; earlier half was much easier on the I and the II, and then around 11 and 12 respectively there was an insane jump in difficulty. Still really enjoyed the tests :coolspeak:
