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.

Welcome to the math relay race! To participate, answer the problem in the latest post, then post one yourself! Please also mark the question number. E.x. if the one before you is question #35, then mark yours as question #36. Easy as pi!

Note: If you choose to help someone with a problem you don't have to make one yourself unless you want to. You are also welcome to ask a question without having to post a new problem. Please do not post a new problem until the previous one is solved. All topics are welcome except for anything >12th grade. Trig is fine. Calculus is not. :D

Question 1: If it takes 5 monkeys 5 days to eat 5 bananas, then how many days will it take for 4 monkeys to eat 4 bananas? (Hint: It's not 4)

Please upvote! :thumbup:

Goal: 100 questions!

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.

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.
