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]

The $49$ numbers $2,3,4,...,49,50$ are written on the blackboard . An allowed operation consists of choosing two different numbers $a$ and $b$ of the blackboard such that $a$ is a multiple of $b$ and delete exactly one of the two. María performs a sequence of permitted operations until she observes that it is no longer possible to perform any more. Determine the minimum number of numbers that can remain on the board at that moment.

sequences, n-sum of type 1/2

N Today at 11:38 AM by pi_quadrat_sechstel
Source: Putnam 1991 A6
An $n$-sum of type $1$ is a finite sequence of positive integers $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_r$, such that:
$(1)$ $a_1+a_2+\ldots+a_r=n$;
$(2)$ $a_1>a_2+a_3,a_2>a_3+a_4,\ldots, a_{r-2}>a_{r-1}+a_r$, and $a_{r-1}>a_r$. For example, there are five $7$-sums of type $1$, namely: $7$; $6,1$; $5,2$; $4,3$; $4,2,1$. An $n$-sum of type $2$ is a finite sequence of positive integers $b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_s$ such that:
$(1)$ $b_1+b_2+\ldots+b_s=n$;
$(2)$ $b_1\ge b_2\ge\ldots\ge b_s$;
$(3)$ each $b_i$ is in the sequence $1,2,4,\ldots,g_j,\ldots$ defined by $g_1=1$, $g_2=2$, $g_j=g_{j-1}+g_{j-2}+1$; and
$(4)$ if $b_1=g_k$, then $1,2,4,\ldots,g_k$ is a subsequence. For example, there are five $7$-sums of type $2$, namely: $4,2,1$; $2,2,2,1$; $2,2,1,1,1$; $2,1,1,1,1,1$; $1,1,1,1,1,1,1$. Prove that for $n\ge1$ the number of type $1$ and type $2$ $n$-sums is the same.

PP. Let an acute $\triangle ABC$ with the area $S$ . Let $\left\{A_1,B_1,C_1\right\}$ be located as follows: $A_1$ is the point where altitude

from $A$ on $BC$ meets the outwards facing semicirle drawn on $[BC]$ as diameter. Points $B_1$ and $C_1$ are located similarly.

Evaluate the sum $T=[BCA_1]^2+[CAB_1]^2+[ABC_1]^2$ , where denoted $[XYZ]$ - the area of $\triangle ABC$ .


Proof. $4\cdot \sum\sin A\cos B\cos C=2\cdot \sum\sin A\left[\cos (B+C)+\cos (B-C)\right]=$ $2\cdot \sum\sin A\left[-\cos A+\cos (B-C)\right]=$

$\sum \left[-\sin 2A+2\sin (B+C)\cos (B-C)\right]=$ $\sum \left(-\sin 2A+\sin 2B+\sin 2C\right)=\sum\sin 2A=4\cdot\prod\sin A=$ $\frac {2S}{R^2}$ .

Let $D\in BC\ ,\ AD\perp BC$ . So $DA_1^2=DB\cdot DC\implies$ $DA_1^2=bc\cdot \cos B\cos C\implies$

$[BCA_1]^2=\left(\frac 12\cdot BC\cdot DA_1\right)^2=$ $\frac {a^2bc}{4}\cdot\cos B\cos C\implies$ $\sum [BCA_1]^2=\frac {abc}{4}\cdot\sum a\cdot\cos B\cos C=$

$2R^2S\sum\sin A\cos B\cos C\implies$ $\boxed{\sum [BCA_1]^2=2R^2S\cdot \frac {S}{2R^2}=S^2=[ABC]^2}$ . Otherwise, $\sum a\cdot\cos B\cos C=$

$2R\sum\sin A\cos B\cos C=$ $2R\prod\cos A\cdot\sum\tan A=$ $2R\prod\cos A\cdot\prod\tan A=2R\prod\sin A=\frac {S}{R}$ .

$a= 3, b = 6, c = 2$?




let $a = c + m$

$b = c + n$

for some positive integers $m,n$

this reduces to $c^2 = mn$

here $m$ and $n$ can't have any common factors.
for example, if $d > 1$ divids both $m$ and $n$, then $d$ divides all three of $a,b,c$..


this would mean $m = k^2$ and $n = t^2$

$a + b = (k+t)^2$

Sorry I understood $\gcd(a,b)=\gcd(b,c)=\gcd(c,a)=1$ rather than $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$ from the way the problem was stated.

Q9:
(I have posted this before, somewhere around)

Let $D=BC\cap AA'$ and $H$ the orthocenter of $\Delta ABC$.
We have $\frac{[A'BC]^2}{[ABC]^2}=\frac{A'D^2}{AD^2}$, but $A'D^2=BD\cdot CD$, while $BD\cdot CD=AD\cdot DH$, consequently $\frac{[A'BC]^2}{[ABC]^2}=\frac{DH\cdot AD}{AD^2}=\frac{DH}{AD}=\frac{[BCH]}{[ABC]}$. Summing up the three similar ratios: $\frac{\Sigma{[BCH]}}{[ABC]}=\frac{[ABC]}{[ABC]}=1$.

Q3


$a= 3, b = 6, c = 2$?




let $a = c + m$

$b = c + n$

for some positive integers $m,n$

this reduces to $c^2 = mn$

here $m$ and $n$ can't have any common factors.
for example, if $d > 1$ divids both $m$ and $n$, then $d$ divides all three of $a,b,c$..


this would mean $m = k^2$ and $n = t^2$

$a + b = (k+t)^2$



10

I do not understand

Summing up the three similar ratios: $\frac{\Sigma{[BCH]}}{[ABC]}=\frac{[ABC]}{[ABC]}=1$.
Nice, very nice ! Thank you.

Q9:
(I have posted this before, somewhere around)

Let $D=BC\cap AA'$ and $H$ the orthocenter of $\Delta ABC$.
We have $\frac{[A'BC]^2}{[ABC]^2}=\frac{A'D^2}{AD^2}$, but $A'D^2=BD\cdot CD$, while $BD\cdot CD=AD\cdot DH$, consequently $\frac{[A'BC]^2}{[ABC]^2}=\frac{DH\cdot AD}{AD^2}=\frac{DH}{AD}=\frac{[BCH]}{[ABC]}$. Summing up the three similar ratios: $\frac{\Sigma{[BCH]}}{[ABC]}=\frac{[ABC]}{[ABC]}=1$.

Best regards,
sunken rock
If we don't know the result is $area [ABC]^{2}$,so we cannot use this way,can you have the other way just in case we don't know the result?

I think Q4 is wrong. Because 23 is an odd prime number

Find all $x$ such that $x = ab + cd$ and $a,b,c,d$ satisfy given system of equations.

So that we must find all of its value or the set contain it?
