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:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor

Perfect polynomials
Phorphyrion   5
N an hour ago by Davdav1232
Source: 2023 Israel TST Test 5 P3
Given a polynomial $P$ and a positive integer $k$, we denote the $k$-fold composition of $P$ by $P^{\circ k}$. A polynomial $P$ with real coefficients is called perfect if for each integer $n$ there is a positive integer $k$ so that $P^{\circ k}(n)$ is an integer. Is it true that for each perfect polynomial $P$, there exists a positive $m$ so that for each integer $n$ there is $0<k\leq m$ for which $P^{\circ k}(n)$ is an integer?

Wait so A,B, and C lie on $\Gamma$ but $B$ lies on [AC] how is that possible?
Or you have typo?

something is not correct , this is my source, problem 1
Quote:
Fie \Gamma un cerc de centru O si M un punct exterior cercului. Fie A un punct de pe de \Gamma astfel ıncat dreapta MA sa fie tangenta la cerc. Fie B si C doua puncte ale cercului \Gamma astfelıncat B sa apartina segmentului [AC]. Fie H proiect¸ia lui A pe [MO] si K intersectia lui [MO] cu cercul \Gamma . Demonstrati ca (BK este bisectoarea unghiului HBM.

this is a Romanian translation

I am from Greece, this is irrelevant to the problem, here we do not chat, we try to solve a few problems, and correct it if something seems not to work, do not spoil the problems / spam the posts with irrelevant topics with respect to the problem, I didn't find a French source to check the original wording, just a romanian translation of the wording

Ps. I personally speak and understand only Greek and English and use Google translate for all the rest sources

I guess it need to be:
problem wrote:
In $\triangle ABC$, $O$ - circumcenter. $MA$ - tangent to $(ABC)$. $H$ - projection of $A$ on $MO$. Segment $MO$ intersect $(ABC)$ at $K$.
Prove that $BK$ - angle bisector of $\angle HBM$.
Let $MO$ cut $(ABC)$ second time at $L$. Then $(M,H;L,K)=-1$.
With $\angle KBL=90^\circ$ we get what we need.

In the original french text, the same problem / typo exists
Quote:
. Soit C un cercle de centre O, et M un point exterieur au cercle. Soit A un point de C tel que (MA) soit tangente au cercle. Soient B et C deux points de C tels que B appartienne au segment [AC]. Soit H le projete orthogonal de A sur [MO]. Soit K le point d’intersection de [MO] avec C. Montrer que (BK) est la bissectrice de HBM .

I have just changed the word segment into the word arc in order the problem to be correct as it had a typo,
it was validated by geogebra
