Spring is in full swing and summer is right around the corner, what are your plans? At AoPS Online our schedule has new classes starting now through July, so be sure to keep your skills sharp and be prepared for the Fall school year! Check out the schedule of upcoming classes below.

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

Turbo's en route to visit each cell of the board
Lukaluce   17
N 10 minutes ago by Gato_combinatorio
Source: EGMO 2025 P5
Let $n > 1$ be an integer. In a configuration of an $n \times n$ board, each of the $n^2$ cells contains an arrow, either pointing up, down, left, or right. Given a starting configuration, Turbo the snail starts in one of the cells of the board and travels from cell to cell. In each move, Turbo moves one square unit in the direction indicated by the arrow in her cell (possibly leaving the board). After each move, the arrows in all of the cells rotate $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise. We call a cell good if, starting from that cell, Turbo visits each cell of the board exactly once, without leaving the board, and returns to her initial cell at the end. Determine, in terms of $n$, the maximum number of good cells over all possible starting configurations.

Suppose $ \,G\,$ is a connected graph with $ \,k\,$ edges. Prove that it is possible to label the edges $ 1,2,\ldots ,k\,$ in such a way that at each vertex which belongs to two or more edges, the greatest common divisor of the integers labeling those edges is equal to 1.

Note: Graph-Definition. A graph consists of a set of points, called vertices, together with a set of edges joining certain pairs of distinct vertices. Each pair of vertices $ \,u,v\,$ belongs to at most one edge. The graph $ G$ is connected if for each pair of distinct vertices $ \,x,y\,$ there is some sequence of vertices $ \,x = v_{0},v_{1},v_{2},\cdots ,v_{m} = y\,$ such that each pair $ \,v_{i},v_{i + 1}\;(0\leq i < m)\,$ is joined by an edge of $ \,G$.

Find the number of factors of $n$.

Help with Competitive Geometry?
REACHAW   3
N 5 hours ago by REACHAW
Hi everyone,
I'm struggling a lot with geometry. I've found algebra, number theory, and even calculus to be relatively intuitive. However, when I took geometry, I found it very challenging. I stumbled my way through the class and can do the basic 'textbook' geometry problems, but still struggle a lot with geometry in competitive math. I find myself consistently skipping the geometry problems during contests (even the easier/first ones).

It's difficult for me to see the solution path. I can do the simpler textbook tasks (eg. find congruent triangles) but not more complex ones (eg. draw these two lines to form similar triangles).

Do you have any advice, resources, or techniques I should try?

Take a $\sqrt{bc}$ inversion. Since this swaps $(ABC)$ and $BC,$ we have $D,E$ are swapped, so the circle with diameter $DE$ is fixed, and $F$ gets sent to the foot from $E$ to $BC,$ which is the midpoint of $BC,$ so $AF$ is a symmedian.

We consider an inversion around $A$ with radius $\sqrt{bc}$ followed by a reflection around the line $AE$.

We can see that athis sends $B$ and $C$ themselves and same with $D$ and $E$. The circumcircle now becomes the line $BC$ and the circle with diameter $DE$ does not move. Thus, it remains to prove that the second intersection of the circle with diameter $DE$ intersects $BC$ again at the midpoint of $BC$. Thus is obvious by considering the line from the circumcenter, $O$, to $E$ must have that $OE \perp DC$ and obviously is the midpoint. $\blacksquare$

Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$ and $N$ be the top point of $(ABC)$. Then
  • $\angle EFD = \angle EFN = 90$, so $NDF$ collinear.
  • $\angle NAE = \angle DMN$, so $NADM$ is cyclic.
Thus $AF$ is a symmedian, as
\[\measuredangle MAD = \measuredangle MND = \measuredangle DAF. \quad \blacksquare\]

We solved the $A$-centered version of this problem.

Perform a $\sqrt{bc}$-inversion. Then note that $D\leftrightarrow E$ which means that $\odot(DE)$ is fixed under this inversion. Now $BC \leftrightarrow \odot(ABC)$ and thus, $F\leftrightarrow \odot(DE)\cap BC$. But note that $\odot(DE)\cap BC$ is simply the midpoint of $BC$. Thus $AF$ is isogonal to the $A$-median and so, $AF$ is the $A$-symmedian. :yoda:

Perform a force-overlaid inversion (complete with the reflection about the angle bisector) about $B$. Let the resultant image of any object $X$ be $X'$. Note that $F', E'$ must lie on line $A'C'$, and also that $90^\circ = \angle DFE = \angle BFE - \angle BFD - \angle BE'F' - \angle BD'F = \angle E'F'D'$; and thus $D'F' \perp A'C'$; however, as $D'$ is the midpoint of arc $A'C'$, $F'$ is nothing but the midpoint of $A'C'$. Thus $BF$ is the reflection of the median about the angle bisector, i.e. the symmedian. $\square$

Let $E'$ be the antipode of $E$ in $(ABC)$. Since $\angle EBE' = 90 ^{\circ}$, we have $(A,C;D,BE' \cap AC)=-1$.
Also, $F$ lies on $DE'$, so $(A,C;F,B) \stackrel{E'}{=} (A,C;D,BE' \cap AC) = -1$, which implies that $BF$ is a symmedian of $\Delta ABC$.

Let $\omega$ denote the circle with diameter $\overline{DE}$. Suppose $\omega$ meets $\overline{BC}$ at $M$ other than $D$. Then observe that $M$ is the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$ as $E$ bisects minor arc $\widehat{BC}$ and $\measuredangle DME = 90^{\circ}$.

Now consider the inversion at $A$ with radius $\sqrt{bc}$ followed by a reflection about $AD$, the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$. Then $D$ maps to $E$ under this inversion, and it evidently follows that the image of $M$ is $F$. Hence $AM$ and $AF$ are isogonal, as desired. $\blacksquare$

In the Following diagram

Define A function F(Z) = ±(BZ/CZ) , Now clearly BE = EC so F(E) = -1 aswell H is midpt of BC so F(H)= 1 also by angel bisector theorem F(D)= F(A) , by two circle intersecting at BC lemma F(H) × F(D) = F(E) × F(G) so ,F(G) = F(D) = F(A) , also F(G) × F(A) = F(M) , hence F(M) = (F(A))^2 and we are dn with AM as the symmedian cute~ :)

I don't have cared about the direct length but no problem ig

Note that the midpoint of $BC, M,$ passes through $(DE).$ Take $\sqrt{bc}$ inversion, and we get that $\omega$ maps to itself. Thus, $K \leftrightarrow M,$ so $AK$ and $AM$ are isogonal.

borrowing points here. Redefine $F$ as on symmedian. RTP $F,D,P$ collinear. DDIT on $A'FDE$ means that $EF\cap AC$ and $DF\cap EA'$ are isogonal from existing isogonal pairs $BD,BE$ and $BF, BA'$. RTP now $EF, BP,AC$ concur clearly. This is as $-1=(B,F;A,C)$ is projected to $(D,EF\cap AC,A,C)$. But well-known by apollonian that $BP\cap AC$ is harmonic conj of $D$, so coincide with $EF\cap AC$, yay.

Let M, N be midpoints of BC and arc BAC, then $N,M,E$ are collinear and $ADMN$ is cyclic. Note that $\angle EFD=90=\angle EFN$ so $F,D,N$ are also collinear and we get:
\[
\angle FAD=\angle FAE = \angle FNE = \angle DNM=\angle DAM
\]and we're done since $AD$ is the angle bisector
