May is an exciting month! National MATHCOUNTS is the second week of May in Washington D.C. and our Founder, Richard Rusczyk will be presenting a seminar, Preparing Strong Math Students for College and Careers, on May 11th.

Are you interested in working towards MATHCOUNTS and don’t know where to start? We have you covered! If you have taken Prealgebra, then you are ready for MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics. Already aiming for State or National MATHCOUNTS and harder AMC 8 problems? Then our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced course is for you.

k i Read me first / How to write a bug report
slester   3
N May 4, 2019 by LauraZed
Greetings, AoPS users!

If you're reading this post, that means you've come across some kind of bug, error, or misbehavior, which nobody likes! To help us developers solve the problem as quickly as possible, we need enough information to understand what happened. Following these guidelines will help us squash those bugs more effectively.

Before submitting a bug report, please confirm the issue exists in other browsers or other computers if you have access to them.

For a list of many common questions and issues, please see our user created FAQ, Community FAQ, or For the Win! FAQ.

What is a bug?
A bug is a misbehavior that is reproducible. If a refresh makes it go away 100% of the time, then it isn't a bug, but rather a glitch. That's when your browser has some strange file cached, or for some reason doesn't render the page like it should. Please don't report glitches, since we generally cannot fix them. A glitch that happens more than a few times, though, could be an intermittent bug.

If something is wrong in the wiki, you can change it! The AoPS Wiki is user-editable, and it may be defaced from time to time. You can revert these changes yourself, but if you notice a particular user defacing the wiki, please let an admin know.

The subject
The subject line should explain as clearly as possible what went wrong.

Bad: Forum doesn't work
Good: Switching between threads quickly shows blank page.

The report
Use this format to report bugs. Be as specific as possible. If you don't know the answer exactly, give us as much information as you know. Attaching a screenshot is helpful if you can take one.

Summary of the problem:
Page URL:
Steps to reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
...
Expected behavior:
Frequency:
Operating system(s):
Browser(s), including version:
Additional information:


If your computer or tablet is school issued, please indicate this under Additional information.

Example
Summary of the problem: When I click back and forth between two threads in the site support section, the content of the threads no longer show up. (See attached screenshot.)
Page URL: http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c10_site_support
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the Site Support forum.
2. Click on any thread.
3. Click quickly on a different thread.
Expected behavior: To see the second thread.
Frequency: Every time
Operating system: Mac OS X
Browser: Chrome and Firefox
Additional information: Only happens in the Site Support forum. My tablet is school issued, but I have the problem at both school and home.

How to take a screenshot
Mac OS X: If you type ⌘+Shift+4, you'll get a "crosshairs" that lets you take a custom screenshot size. Just click and drag to select the area you want to take a picture of. If you type ⌘+Shift+4+space, you can take a screenshot of a specific window. All screenshots will show up on your desktop.

Windows: Hit the Windows logo key+PrtScn, and a screenshot of your entire screen. Alternatively, you can hit Alt+PrtScn to take a screenshot of the currently selected window. All screenshots are saved to the Pictures → Screenshots folder.

Advanced
If you're a bit more comfortable with how browsers work, you can also show us what happens in the JavaScript console.

In Chrome, type CTRL+Shift+J (Windows, Linux) or ⌘+Option+J (Mac).
In Firefox, type CTRL+Shift+K (Windows, Linux) or ⌘+Option+K (Mac).
In Internet Explorer, it's the F12 key.
In Safari, first enable the Develop menu: Preferences → Advanced, click "Show Develop menu in menu bar." Then either go to Develop → Show Error console or type Option+⌘+C.

It'll look something like this:

How many ways to spell the word COUNT
yinglinwu   7
N an hour ago by Andrew2019
This is the problem 2.771 from the book Competition Math For Middle School. The printed answer is 16, which is obtained by going through the triangle. I have no idea about what's going on there. Can anyone help explain please?

BTW, my understanding about a way to spell COUNT is simply to choose an order of those letters and write down them one by one at their designated locations, like writing down U first at the 3rd location, then O at the 2nd position, N at 4th, T at 5th, and C at 1st. Therefore, in total we should have 5! ways to spell the word.

N May 1, 2025 by Demetri
Ill add more detail soon but on the side panel with the global feed, my feeds, private messages, and bookmarked threads/forums, the 2nd and 4th one I just mentioned are glitched. The 2nd one has the settings icon and then a music icon, and the 4th has an aops mini cube, the share button, and another that I don't know what it is.
Private messages are also being weird as the right panel with the edit button for example is offset.

At first, it seems like not enough information is provided, but then you look at all of the clues. First, the human's name is Johnny. According to the voice in my head, the average height of someone named Johnny is 4'7''. However, Johnny also buys a pet lobster named Pinchy. This is a crucial piece of information because lobsters tend to pinch people which causes their height to decrease. Also, Pinchy eats water balloons at a rate of 69 pounds / nanogram. This means Pinchy will explode from all of the balloons it is eating. However, we don't know how ong it will take for Pinchy to explode. That's where the "Assume that it is not a leap year." comes into play. Anyway while I was here yapping about the solution Pinchy rematerialized and pinched me. This caused me to transform into a Smurf and I am now typing on computer keys by jumping on them. Anyway, I want to turn back into a monkey so I went to the grocery store to get some red bull because red bull gives you wings. It really did give me wings or at least caused me to fly because the sheer volume of the red bull caused me to turn into a balloon and I was using the red bull as rocket fuel. I flew past the edge of the universe and entered a strange land. Then I met Johnny and he told me he was 3'8''. I was almost tempted to take this answer. However, then I remembered that Johnny isn't actually real. Johnny is just a fictional character made for the sake of this problem, and as such, his height cannot be determined. Johnny isn't real. In fact, none of this is real. We're all just living in a simulation. We have been lied to by the creators of the simulation that we have a sense of self, consciousness, and free will. However, that's not the case. All of us are just pre-programmed events, puppets in the simulation of the universe. The problem of Johnny's height might be seen as a satirical example how difficult and ambiguous math problems can sometimes be, but in reality, it's a clear metaphor on how every act we do is just a bit in a computer. Thank you for providing us with this meaningful thought experiment, Solocraftsolo.

In fact, none of this is real. We're all just living in a simulation. We have been lied to by the creators of the simulation that we have a sense of self, consciousness, and free will. However, that's not the case. All of us are just pre-programmed events, puppets in the simulation of the universe. The problem of Johnny's height might be seen as a satirical example how difficult and ambiguous math problems can sometimes be, but in reality, it's a clear metaphor on how every act we do is just a bit in a computer. Thank you for providing us with this meaningful thought experiment, Solocraftsolo.
