Minimum number of points
Ecrin_eren   2
N Yesterday at 8:32 PM by Shan3t
There are 18 teams in a football league. Each team plays against every other team twice in a season—once at home and once away. A win gives 3 points, a draw gives 1 point, and a loss gives 0 points. One team became the champion by earning more points than every other team. What is the minimum number of points this team could have?

Weird locus problem
Sedro   7
N Yesterday at 8:00 PM by ReticulatedPython
Points $A$ and $B$ are in the coordinate plane such that $AB=2$. Let $\mathcal{H}$ denote the locus of all points $P$ in the coordinate plane satisfying $PA\cdot PB=2$, and let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$. Points $X$ and $Y$ are on $\mathcal{H}$ such that $\angle XMY = 45^\circ$ and $MX\cdot MY=\sqrt{2}$. The value of $MX^4 + MY^4$ can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Pells equation
Entrepreneur   0
Yesterday at 3:56 PM
A Pells Equation is defined as follows $$x^2-1=ky^2.$$Where $x,y$ are positive integers and $k$ is a non-square positive integer. If $(x_n,y_n)$ denotes the n-th set of solution to the equation with $(x_0,y_0)=(1,0).$ Then, prove that $$x_{n+1}x_n-ky_{n+1}y_n=x_1,$$$$x_n\pm y_n\sqrt k=(x_1\pm y_1\sqrt k)^n.$$

Triangle ABC with incenter I, incircle is tangent to BC, AC, and AB at D, E and F respectively.
DT is a diameter for the incircle, and AT meets the incircle again at point H.
Let DH and EF intersect at point J. Prove: AJ//BC.

Add $\sum_{cyc}\tfrac{a(b+c)}{(b+c)} = \sum_{cyc} a$ to both sides to obtain \[\sum_{cyc}\frac{(a+b)(c+a)}{(b+c)} \ge 2(a+b+c).\]Substitute $x = a+b$, $y = b+c$, and $z=c+a$ to turn this into \[\sum_{cyc} \frac{xz}{y} \ge \sum_{cyc} x,\]which is clear by Muirhead.
