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.

Summer camps are starting next month at the Virtual Campus in math and language arts that are 2 - to 4 - weeks in duration. Spaces are still available - don’t miss your chance to have an enriching summer experience. 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 upcoming events:
[list][*]May 9th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, Casework 2: Overwhelming Evidence — A Text Adventure, a game where participants will work together to navigate the map, solve puzzles, and win! All are welcome.
[*]May 19th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, What's Next After Beast Academy?, designed for students finishing Beast Academy and ready for Prealgebra 1.
[*]May 20th, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 1 Math Jam, Problems 1 to 4, join the Canada/USA Mathcamp staff for this exciting Math Jam, where they discuss solutions to Problems 1 to 4 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz!
[*]May 21st, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 2 Math Jam, Problems 5 and 6, Canada/USA Mathcamp staff will discuss solutions to Problems 5 and 6 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz![/list]

Serbian selection contest for the IMO 2025 - P6

Source: Serbian selection contest for the IMO 2025
For an $n \times n$ table filled with natural numbers, we say it is a divisor table if:
- the numbers in the $i$-th row are exactly all the divisors of some natural number $r_i$,
- the numbers in the $j$-th column are exactly all the divisors of some natural number $c_j$,
- $r_i \ne r_j$ for every $i \ne j$.

A prime number $p$ is given. Determine the smallest natural number $n$, divisible by $p$, such that there exists an $n \times n$ divisor table, or prove that such $n$ does not exist.

Suppose $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ is differentiable and $|f'(x)|<\frac 12\;\forall\;x\in\mathbb R.$ Show that for some $x_0\in\mathbb R,f(x_0)=x_0.$

(a) Let $y=\cos \phi+\cos 2 \phi$, where $\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{5}$. Verify by direct substitution that $y$ satisfies the quadratic equation $2 y^2=3 y+2$ and deduce that the value of $y$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$.
(b) Let $\theta=\frac{2 \pi}{17}$. Show that $\sum_{k=0}^{16} \cos k \theta=0$
(c) If $z=\cos \theta+\cos 2 \theta+\cos 4 \theta+\cos 8 \theta$, show that the value of $z$ is $-(1-\sqrt{17}) / 4$.

[center]IMAGE[/center]

TL;DR: MO 3 and new experimental JMO, can take both, sign-up link, problems posted 19 and 20 March, deadline 8 April. Have fun!

What's New

Twelve new problems. Twelve? Yes, in addition to the MO 3, there will also be an experimental JMO. 6+6-12=0, so the MO 3 and the experimental JMO will be disjoint, meaning that you can take both of them! (read: we hope you take both)

About Us

We are a group of Thai students sharing the hobby of proposing olympiad math problems. Most of us had been in the Thailand TST Camp, and several of us are IMO medalists. Some of our members are @ThE-dArK-lOrD and @TacH, who will be co-hosting the MO 3 with me. We have also just launched our website (still kinda work-in-progress): https://www.infinitydots.org.

For the past two years, we have been publishing our problems in InfinityDots MOs—hence the number 3 this year.
MO 1 (2017): main thread, problems
MO 2 (2018): announcement, main thread, problems

Formal Stuff

[list]
[*] Sign-ups are now open in a separate thread (so we don't flood HSO). If you sign up, (i) we’ll notify you when the contest starts, and (ii) it’ll bump that thread up. There’s also the option to privately sign-up—just PM me.
[*] Both the MO 3 and the experimental JMO will start (i.e. day 1 problems posted) on 19 March at 10am EDT, day 2 problems will be posted 20 March 10am EDT.
[*] Window for submitting solutions lasts until 8 April 10pm EDT. Scores will be released around a week after that (but definitely before the USA(J)MO) depending on how fast we can grade and how many people submit. Submissions can be done in two ways: either PM me (@talkon) here on AoPS, or send an email to mo3@infinitydots.org.
[/list]

FAQs

Q: Is the sign-up list for both the MO 3 and the JMO?
A: Yeah, the same sign-up list is used for both the MO 3 and the JMO. Which one (or two) you will take is your choice. You can take only the MO, only the JMO, or both!

Q: Are there any awards?
A: Sadly, no, but we hope you enjoy the experience of solving our problems.

Q: Anything I can do to help you?
A: We are not accepting any testsolvers or graders publicly, but feel free to help us spread the word.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask in this topic. We hope you enjoy our contest!

How much time is given? 4 hours 30 minutes?
Also, does it have to be 4.5 hours straight? I don't think I can do that.

If possible, you should take each day of the test in a single 4.5-hour block, but as free time is hard to come by, it's fine if you do it in separate chunks, as long as you don't go over 4.5 hours in total.

Well, the contest is still active, so discussions of problems aren't allowed. Discussion threads for each problems will be posted when the contest ends (8 April).

Problems are now up for discussion in this forum. If you can't find the threads, here are the collections:
InfinityDots JMO
InfinityDots MO 3

We also have a survey for feedback like previous years: click here. Please help us know how the contest went by filling it :)
We are currently grading submissions, and we expect everything to be done in at most a week or so.

The scores are finally here! Sorry for being late—we got busier than expected and hence didn't have enough time to grade the problems before USA(J)MO. Same deal as last year for the score table below: usernames are removed for anonymity ($-$ is for no submission, $0-7$ are scores for submitted problems.) The total and average score for each problem are also provided.

Detailed comments will be sent via PMs. The Official Solution booklet will be posted within the next few days. If you haven't filled out our survey yet, we'd be really happy if you could take just a few minutes to fill it. Also feel free to post your solutions or join in the discussion of the problems. (See previous post for the link).

After quite a delay, the Final Report file containing the Official Solutions is finally here. With this, InfinityDots MO 3 officially concludes. Hope to see you again next year!
