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)!

Given the number of suggestions we’ve been receiving, we’re transitioning to a suggestion form. If you have a suggestion for the AoPS website, please submit the Google Form: Suggestion Form
To keep all new suggestions together, any new suggestion threads posted will be deleted.
Please remember that if you find a bug outside of FTW! (after refreshing to make sure it’s not a glitch), make sure you’re following the How to write a bug report instructions and using the proper format

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

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.

If you find content on the AoPS Community that makes you concerned for a user's health or safety, please alert AoPS Administrators using the report button (Z) or by emailing sheriff@aops.com . You should provide a description of the content and a link in your message. If it's an emergency, call 911 or whatever the local emergency services are in your country.
Please also use those steps to alert us if bullying behavior is being directed at you or another user. Content that is "unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable" (AoPS Terms of Service 5.d) or that otherwise bullies people is not tolerated on AoPS, and accounts that post such content may be terminated or suspended.
Note that this is in no way trying to slander people who qualified through states with lower cutoffs. It is to compare cutoffs from 2022-2025. Qualifying nationals in any state is an exceptional achievement.

Tier colors have been removed as per the nationals' server requests.

Hey guys I work for stellar learning and i was wondering will it be ok to scrape the entire AOPS wiki for problems/solutions? Also btw why has wiki been slow lately?
My favorite problems on the state test were target #6 and sprint #29. I loved the aha moment when I saw pascal's triangle on target #6, and even though I got sprint #29 wrong due to a long division error, it was so much fun to use the sum of the factors trick to find the right answer!
Also: My score was 29 with 12 on target and 17 (sad sillies) on sprint, so I didn't make CDR

let the legs of the triangle be and . Then we have Additionally, by the triangle inequality, we know the hypotenuse is less than , and because it is the longest side, it is greater than Also, because the question simply asks for the length of the hypotenuse without "simplest radical form" or "common fraction" at the end of the problem, we know the hypotenuse is an integer. Thus, the only numbers that can be the length of the hypotenuse are ,,,,, and . Plugging values into the equation in line yields

bruh even worse sol, calc bash and guess based on answer form
; a^2+b^2=c^2 and a+b = 40-c. Square the second equation. a^2+b^2+2ab=1600+c^2-80c. Cancel out a^2+b^2 and c^2 from both sides since they are equivalent. 2ab = 1600-80c. In the problem we are given that ab/2 = 20 so 2ab=80. Now 1600-80c=80 or c=19.
I randomly added up all the squares from 1 to 2025 and divided that by the sum of all integers 1-2025 (I don't even know why) and somehow got the right answer.

I used a method kind of guessing but we can see the number of subsets that have 2025 as the greateset is (Not Blank)
2^2025-1
Then the number of subsets that have 2024 as the greatest is:
2^2024 -1
Then the numbers of subsets that have 2023 as the greatest is:
2^2023-1
We establish a pattern similar to an geometric sequence but not exact.... 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32,1/64,1/128,1/256 So with this pattern we already know that the numbers that count the most are the first 3 numbers that I listed but if you look at it carefully you can see that when you subtract some integer n from n_1+n_2 we see what it is always 1/2^n so we can use this finding to see that is has to be somewhere between 2024>=x>=2023
but we again see that 1/4-1/8=1/8 so we are done and our final answer is
