Congratulations to all the mathletes who competed at National MATHCOUNTS! If you missed the exciting Countdown Round, you can watch the video at this link. Are you interested in training for MATHCOUNTS or AMC 10 contests? How would you like to train for these math competitions in half the time? We have accelerated sections which meet twice per week instead of once starting on July 8th (7:30pm ET). These sections fill quickly so enroll today!

[list][*]MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics
[*]MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced
[*]AMC 10 Problem Series[/list]
For those interested in Olympiad level training in math, computer science, physics, and chemistry, be sure to enroll in our WOOT courses before August 19th to take advantage of early bird pricing!

Summer camps are starting this 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 a transformative 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][*]June 5th, Thursday, 7:30pm ET: Open Discussion with Ben Kornell and Andrew Sutherland, Art of Problem Solving's incoming CEO Ben Kornell and CPO Andrew Sutherland host an Ask Me Anything-style chat. Come ask your questions and get to know our incoming CEO & CPO!
[*]June 9th, Monday, 7:30pm ET, Game Jam: Operation Shuffle!, Come join us to play our second round of Operation Shuffle! If you enjoy number sense, logic, and a healthy dose of luck, this is the game for you. No specific math background is required; all are welcome.[/list]
Our full course list for upcoming classes is below:
All classes run 7:30pm-8:45pm ET/4:30pm - 5:45pm PT unless otherwise noted.

Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Find all functions $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that
$$f(xy) + f(f(y)) = f((x + 1)f(y))$$for all real numbers $x$, $y$.

Permutation guessing game

Source: India IMOTC Day 3 Problem 3
Let $n$ be a positive integer. Alice and Bob play the following game. Alice considers a permutation $\pi$ of the set $[n]=\{1,2, \dots, n\}$ and keeps it hidden from Bob. In a move, Bob tells Alice a permutation $\tau$ of $[n]$, and Alice tells Bob whether there exists an $i \in [n]$ such that $\tau(i)=\pi(i)$. Bob wins if he ever tells Alice the permutation $\pi$. Prove that Bob can win the game in at most $n \log_2(n) + 2025n$ moves.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with orthocenter $H$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and $K$ be the intersection of the tangents from $B$ and $C$ to the circumcircle of $ABC$. Denote by $\Omega$ the circle centered at $H$ and tangent to line $AM$.

Suppose $AK$ intersects $\Omega$ at two distinct points $X$, $Y$.
Lines $BX$ and $CY$ meet at $P$, while lines $BY$ and $CX$ meet at $Q$. Prove that either $P$ or $Q$ lies on $\Omega$.

Cheese??? - I'm definitely doing smth wrong

N 2 hours ago by Diamond-jumper76
Source: European Girls Math Olympiad 2013/1
The problem is attached. So is my diagram which has a couple of markings on it for clarity :)

So basically, I found a solution which I am 99% confident that I am doing smth wrong, I just can't find the error. Any help would be appreciated!

We claim that triangle $BAC$ is right angled (for clarity, $<BAC = 90$). Define $S$ as a point on line $AC$ such that $SD$ is parallel to $AB$. Additionally, since $BC = DC$, $\triangle BAC \cong \triangle DSC$ meaning $<BAC = <CSD$, $AC = CS$, and $AB = SD$. Also, since $BE = AD$, by SSS, we have $\triangle BEA \cong DAS$ meaning $\angle EAB= \angle CSD$. Since $\angle EAS + \angle BAC = 180$, we have $2\angle ASD = 180$ or $\angle ASD = \angle BAC = 90$ and we are done.
