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:

Two circles and Three line concurrency
mofidy   0
7 minutes ago
Two circles $W_1$ and $W_2$ with equal radii intersect at P and Q. Points B and C are located on the circles$W_1$ and $W_2$ so that they are inside the circles $W_2$ and $W_1$, respectively. Also, points X and Y distinct from P are located on $W_1$ and $W_2$, respectively, so that:
$$\angle{CPQ} = \angle{CXQ}  \text{ and } \angle{BPQ} = \angle{BYQ}.$$The intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles XPC and YPB is called S. Prove that BC, XY and QS are concurrent.
Thanks.

In triangle $ABC$ with $AB<AC$ and $AB+AC=2BC$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$. Choose point $P$ on the extension of $\overline{BA}$ past $A$ and point $Q$ on segment $\overline{AC}$ such that $M$ lies on $\overline{PQ}$. Let $X$ be on the opposite side of $\overline{AB}$ from $C$ such that $\overline{AX} \parallel \overline{BC}$ and $AX=AP=AQ$. Let $\overline{BX}$ intersect the circumcircle of $BMQ$ again at $Y \neq B$, and let $\overline{CX}$ intersect the circumcircle of $CMP$ again at $Z \neq C$. Prove that $A$, $Y$, and $Z$ are collinear.

Challenging Trigonometric Sums - AoPS Volume 2 Problem 277
Shiyul   2
N Today at 5:48 AM by sp0rtman00000
Problem #277 (Source: Mu Alpha Theta 1992)

Find $\color[rgb]{0.35,0.35,0.35}\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{\sin (nx)}{3^n}$ if $\color[rgb]{0.35,0.35,0.35}\sin x=1/3$ and $\color[rgb]{0.35,0.35,0.35} 0\le x\le \pi/2$.

I know what cosine of x is also positive because of the value of x. I've also tried to see if the value of sin(nx) ever repeats, but it doesn't. Can anyone give me a hint (not the full solution) on how to start on solving this problem? Thank you.

Can anyone give me hint on how to solve this (not solve the full problem). I'm not sure how to relate the v series to the Fibonacci sequence.

Let $L$ be the midpoint of $BO$, then $BL=LO=ON$. Suppose, without loss of generality, that $LO=1$, we know that $MO$ is a perpendicular bisector of $AB$, if $\angle ABO=x$ then $MO=2\sin(x)$.
A parallel to $AB$ through $N$ intersects $MO$ and $AO$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively, so $F=ME\cap BO$. We see that $OND\sim OBM$ so $MO/OD=BO/ON=2$ (*). Since $\angle NOD=EOD$ and $OD\perp NE$ we have $NOD\cong EOD$, that is, $E$ is the reflection of $N$ wrt $MD$ then $EMN$ is isosceles with $\angle M=64$, then by (*) we have that $O$ is the centroid of $EMN$ so $ON=2OF$ and since $OE\parallel ML$ we have that $OF=LF=1/2$. Let's apply the bisector theorem in $OML$
