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.

(This practice test is designed to be slightly harder than the real test. I would recommend you take this like a real test, using a 3 hour time limit and no calculator.)

Let me know any suggestions for improvement on test quality, difficulty, problem selection, problem placement, test topics, etc. for the next tests that I make!

Practice AIME

1.
Positive integers a, b, and c satisfy a + b + c = 49 and ab + bc + ca = 471. Find the value of the product abc.

2.
Find the integer closest to the value of (69^(1/2) + 420^(1/2))^2.

3.
Let G and A be two points that are 243 units apart. Suppose A_1 is at G, and for n > 1, A_n is the point on line GA such that A_nA_(n-1) = 243, and A_n is farther from A than G. Let L be the locus of points T such that GT + A_6T = 2025. Find the maximum possible distance from T to line GA as T varies across L.

4.
Find the value of (69 + 12 * 33^(1/2))^(1/2) + (69 - 12 * 33^(1/2))^(1/2).

5.
Find the sum of the numerator and denominator of the probability that two (not necessarily distinct) randomly chosen positive integer divisors of 900 are relatively prime, when expressed as a fraction in lowest terms.

6.
Find the limit of (1x^2 + 345x^6)/(5x^6 + 78x + 90) as x approaches infinity.

7.
Find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of y = 6x^2 + 9x + 420 at the point where y = 615 and x is positive.

8.
Find the smallest positive integer n such that the sum of the positive integer divisors of n is 1344.

9.
Find the first 3 digits after the decimal point in the decimal expansion of the square root of 911.

10.
Let n be the smallest positive integer in base 10 such that the base 2 expression of 60n contains an odd number of 1’s. Find the sum of the squares of the digits of n.

11.
Find the sum of the 7 smallest positive integers n such that n is a multiple of 7, and the repeating decimal expansion of 1/n does not have a period of 6.

12.
Let n be an integer from 1 to 999, inclusive. How many different numerators are possible when n/1000 is written as a common fraction in lowest terms?

13.
How many ways are there to divide a pile of 15 indistinguishable bricks?

14.
Let n be the unique 3-digit positive integer such that the value of the product 100n can be expressed in bases b, b + 1, b + 2, and b + 3 using only 0’s and 1’s, for some integer b > 1. Find n.

15.
For positive integers n, let f(n) be the sum of the positive integer divisors of n. Suppose a positive integer k is untouchable if there does not exist a positive integer a such that f(a) = k + a. For example, the integers 2 and 5 are untouchable, by the above definition. Find the next smallest integer after 2 and 5 that is untouchable.

Practice AIME

1.
Positive integers \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) satisfy \( a + b + c = 49 \) and \( ab + bc + ca = 471 \). Find the value of the product \( abc \).

2.
Find the integer closest to the value of \( (69^{1/2} + 420^{1/2})^2 \).

3.
Let \( G \) and \( A \) be two points that are 243 units apart. Suppose \( A_1 \) is at \( G \), and for \( n > 1 \), \( A_n \) is the point on line \( GA \) such that \( A_nA_{n-1} = 243 \), and \( A_n \) is farther from \( A \) than \( G \). Let \( L \) be the locus of points \( T \) such that \( GT + A_6T = 2025 \). Find the maximum possible distance from \( T \) to line \( GA \) as \( T \) varies across \( L \).

4.
Find the value of \( (69 + 12 \cdot 33^{1/2})^{1/2} + (69 - 12 \cdot 33^{1/2})^{1/2} \).

5.
Find the sum of the numerator and denominator of the probability that two (not necessarily distinct) randomly chosen positive integer divisors of 900 are relatively prime, when expressed as a fraction in lowest terms.

6.
Find the limit of \( \frac{1x^2 + 345x^6}{5x^6 + 78x + 90} \) as \( x \) approaches infinity.

7.
Find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of \( y = 6x^2 + 9x + 420 \) at the point where \( y = 615 \) and \( x \) is positive.

8.
Find the smallest positive integer \( n \) such that the sum of the positive integer divisors of \( n \) is 1344.

9.
Find the first 3 digits after the decimal point in the decimal expansion of the square root of 911.

10.
Let \( n \) be the smallest positive integer in base 10 such that the base 2 expression of \( 60n \) contains an odd number of 1’s. Find the sum of the squares of the digits of \( n \).

11.
Find the sum of the 7 smallest positive integers \( n \) such that \( n \) is a multiple of 7, and the repeating decimal expansion of \( 1/n \) does not have a period of 6.

12.
Let \( n \) be an integer from 1 to 999, inclusive. How many different numerators are possible when \( n/1000 \) is written as a common fraction in lowest terms?

13.
How many ways are there to divide a pile of $15$ indistinguishable bricks?

14.
Let \( n \) be the unique 3-digit positive integer such that the value of the product \( 100n \) can be expressed in bases \( b \), \( b + 1 \), \( b + 2 \), and \( b + 3 \) using only 0’s and 1’s, for some integer \( b > 1 \). Find \( n \).

I would argue this is actually easier than the recent AIME exams but I still did bad and got 13
I got #6 wrong because I am dumb
I got #15 wrong, #15 is actually decently hard

personally there's quite a few problems that are straight applications of formulas or concepts (ex. #6, #7, #13, actually these might be the only ones). some of the problems are like aime difficulty tho

yea p6 is not aime style because they wouldnt directly put limits nor do they put just conceptual questions on the test

and p9 is just outright annoying, not aime style.(also p13 should specify whether just 1 pile counts as dividing) Some feedback for this question set, would be to make very long annoying problems instead of problems that are decently tricky but conceptually easy to understand(lots of aime problems are hard just because it is hard to comprehend)

I suppose the point of this is using the fractional binomial theorem? It's still pretty annoying with it though...
