What is the likelihood the last card left in the deck is black?

You have a deck of cards containing $26$ black and $13$ red cards. You pull out $2$ cards, one after another, and check their colour. If both cards are the same colour, then a black card is added to the deck. However, if the cards are of different colours, then a red card is used to replace them. Once the cards are taken out of the deck, they are not returned to the deck, and thus the number of cards keeps reducing. What is the likelihood the last card left in the deck is black?

AGI-Origin Solves Full IMO 2020–2024 Benchmark Without Solver (30/30) beat Alpha
AGI-Origin   10
N an hour ago by TestX01
Hello IMO community,

I’m sharing here a full 30-problem solution set to all IMO problems from 2020 to 2024.

Standard AI: Prompt --> Symbolic Solver (SymPy, Geometry API, etc.)

Unlike AlphaGeometry or symbolic math tools that solve through direct symbolic computation, AGI-Origin operates via recursive symbolic cognition.

AGI-Origin:
Prompt --> Internal symbolic mapping --> Recursive contradiction/repair --> Structural reasoning --> Human-style proof

It builds human-readable logic paths by recursively tracing contradictions, repairing structure, and collapsing ambiguity — not by invoking any external symbolic solver.

These results were produced by a recursive symbolic cognition framework called AGI-Origin, designed to simulate semi-AGI through contradiction collapse, symbolic feedback, and recursion-based error repair.

These were solved without using any symbolic computation engine or solver.
Instead, the solutions were derived using a recursive symbolic framework called AGI-Origin, based on:
- Contradiction collapse
- Self-correcting recursion
- Symbolic anchoring and logical repair

Full PDF: [Upload to Dropbox/Google Drive/Notion or arXiv link when ready]

This effort surpasses AlphaGeometry’s previous 25/30 mark by covering:
- Algebra
- Combinatorics
- Geometry
- Functional Equations

Each solution follows a rigorous logical path and is written in fully human-readable format — no machine code or symbolic solvers were used.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the solution structure, logic clarity, or symbolic methodology.

Thank you!

FE solution too simple?

Source: 101 Algebra Problems from the AMSP
Find all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that the equality $$f(f(x)+y) = f(x^2-y)+4f(x)y$$holds for all pairs of real numbers $(x,y)$.

My solution

I feel like my solution is too simple. Is there something I did wrong or something I missed?

Oops, sorry about a third post -- but no one has found the Major Hint solution for #6, which I believe is the shortest.

Unless I'm misreading, I think there's a quick solution to #6 which involves inverting about $P$? The diagram attached should outline a solution.

Sketch, because I don't have access to computer rn

1. Angle Chase, easy

2. Prove Gamma and BFEC are orthogonal -> T1 T2 lie on (BFEC) so use radical axis on (ABC), Gamma and (BFEC) to get BC S1S2 T1T2 concurrent. Now use brokard a lot of times. Angle chase to get XY to be a diameter of Gamma, then brokard again.

3. 1:00 am rip

4. Prove LH=r by a simple length bash - AH and AL is easy to calculate. The rest is angle chase.

5. Extend DP and DQ to meet (DS1S2) at P', Q'.
Then one can get, by PoP that AEDBP' and AFDCQ' are cyclic. The rest is ratio bash to prove that PQ and P'Q' are parallel.

6. Easily get that A1B1 A2B2 O12O21 concur at a point T on AB such that (A,B;P,T)=-1. This implies that O12O21 passes through a point T' such that (O1,O2;T',P)=-1. Now notice that A1P and A2P are polars of O1 and O2 wrt (A1A2P) and etc. We can use harmonic quad/pencil to prove that A1A2 passes through T' and we are done.
