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)!

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][/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 , do not answer with " is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like " is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that 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.
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.
All credit goes to @peace09 for compiling previous years.
Additionally, thanks to @ethan2011/@mathkiddus for the template.
Tier colors have been removed as per the nationals' server requests.
For those asking about the removal of the tiers, I'd like to quote Jason himself:

Help contribute by sharing your state's cutoffs!
As per last year's guidelines, refrain from problem discussion until their official release on the MATHCOUNTS website.
In trapezium ABCD,AD is parallel to BC and points E and F are midpoints of AB and DC respectively. If
Area of AEFD/Area of EBCF =√3 + 1/3-√3 and the area of triangle ABD is √3 .find the area of trapezium ABCD
Let be a positive integer. Egor has cards with the number “” written on them, and cards with the number “” written on them. Egor wants to paint each card red or blue so that no subset of cards of the same color has the sum of the numbers equal to . Find the greatest such that Egor will not be able to paint the cards in such a way.
In a plane give a set that has 8097 distinct points with area of a triangle that has 3 points belong to all . Prove that there exists a triangle that has the area contains at least 2025 points that belong to ( each of that 2025 points can be inside the triangle or lie on the edge of triangle )X
So if is even it's contradiction. I mean .
If and ,we can see the only solution is and it is contradiction.
If and . So .İt means .
If but .İt is contradiction.
If we have 2 option. Firstly but is contradiction. Secondly but is contradiction. I mean . So . If but is contradiction. I mean . The only solution is .
Kai is singing the skibidi dop dop dop yes yes yes song 28 times in the span of a fortnite(two weeks). How many times using this rate does kai sing skibidi skibidi dop dop yes yes yes song in a span of 4 days using the rate. Express your answer in terms of sigma.
For a finite set of positive integers, a partition of into two disjoint nonempty subsets and is if the least common multiple of the elements in is equal to the greatest common divisor of the elements in . Determine the minimum value of such that there exists a set of positive integers with exactly good partitions.
Given an acute triangle where . Point is the circumcenter of triangle , and is the projection of point onto line . The midpoints of ,, and are ,, and , respectively. The line intersects and at points and , respectively. Prove that is the incenter of triangle .
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

Tell me if I'm correct for number 24(high change I may be wrong)
If we consider integers with 4 digits and only 2 even digits or 3 even digits exactly, we can have:
EEOO
EOEO
OEEO
EEEO
where E denotes even digits and O denotes odd digits.
We can just simply count up how many even digits are possible or how many odd digits are possible and get that: 4*5*5*5 + 4*5*5*5 + 5*5*5*5 + 4*5*5*5 = 500 + 500 + 625 + 500 = 2125.
If we consider integers with 3 digits that can only have 2 even digits max, we can have:
EEO which results in 4*5*5 = 100.
So 2125 + 100 = 2225(we can't have two-digit integers or one-digit integers for obvious reasons). So is the answer 2225? Can somebody confirm? Thanks.
bro I'm such a bot i gotta start reading books :skul:

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
