Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a logarithmic spiral centered at the origin (ie curve satisfying for any point $X$ on it, line $OX$ makes a fixed angle with the tangent to $\mathcal{S}$ at $X$). Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a rectangular hyperbola centered at the origin, scaled such that it is tangent to the logarithmic spiral at some point.

Prove that for a point $P$ on the spiral, the polar of $P$ wrt. $\mathcal{H}$ is tangent to the spiral.

Paint and Optimize: A Grid Strategy Problem

N an hour ago by sami1618
Source: Iran 2025 second round p2
Ali and Shayan are playing a turn-based game on an infinite grid. Initially, all cells are white. Ali starts the game, and in the first turn, he colors one unit square black. In the following turns, each player must color a white square that shares at least one side with a black square. The game continues for exactly 2808 turns, after which each player has made 1404 moves. Let $A$ be the set of black cells at the end of the game. Ali and Shayan respectively aim to minimize and maximise the perimeter of the shape $A$ by playing optimally. (The perimeter of shape $A$ is defined as the total length of the boundary segments between a black and a white cell.)

What are the possible values of the perimeter of $A$, assuming both players play optimally?

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a regular polygon, and let $\mathcal{V}$ be its set of vertices. Each point in $\mathcal{V}$ is colored red, white, or blue. A subset of $\mathcal{V}$ is patriotic if it contains an equal number of points of each color, and a side of $\mathcal{P}$ is dazzling if its endpoints are of different colors.

Suppose that $\mathcal{V}$ is patriotic and the number of dazzling edges of $\mathcal{P}$ is even. Prove that there exists a line, not passing through any point in $\mathcal{V}$, dividing $\mathcal{V}$ into two nonempty patriotic subsets.

UIL Number Sense problem
Potato512   2
N 3 hours ago by buddy2007
I keep seeing a certain type of problem in UIL Number Sense, though I can't figure out how to do it (I aim to do it in my head in about 7-8 seconds).

The problem is x^((p+1)/2) mod p, where p is prime.
For example 11^15 mod 29
I know it technically doesn't work this way, but using fermats little theorem (on √x^(p+1)) always gives either the number itself, x, or the modular inverse, p-x.
By using the theorem i mean √x^28 mod 29 = 1, and then youre left with √x^2 mod 29 or x, but then its + or -.
I was wondering if there is a way to figure out whether its + or -, a slow or fast way if its slow maybe its possible to speed it up.

Extend $PA$ until $X$ such that $BXC$ is equilateral now, taking as homothetic center the midpoint of $BC$ (3:1) sending X to circumcenter of $PBC$, P to centroid of $PBC$ and A to centroid of $ABC$ that's enough

If we don't have to show the point is $G$ then the problem is trivial by Liang-Zelich

Click to reveal hidden text

However we will show it is $G$ , consider the midpoint of $AC$, $PC$, as $M_B, M_P$ ,let the centroid of $PBC$ be $G_A$ then we know $\dfrac{BM_B}{BG}=\dfrac{BM_P}{BG_A}$ so $GG_A$ is parallel to $M_BM_P$ which is also parallel to $AP$. now $AP$ meets the point outside of $BC$, as $P_1$ such that $BP_1C$ is an equilateral triangle, and now by $\dfrac{P_1O_A}{O_AM_A}=\dfrac{M_AG}{GA}$, where $M_A$ is the midpoint of $BC$ we have $GO_A$ is parallel to $GG_A$ so $G_A $ lies on $GO_A$ therefore it's done

Let the $\perp$ from $H$ and $O$ be $D$ and $M$
