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?

Let $a,b,c$ be positive real numbers such that $abc(a+b+c)=3.$ Prove that we have
\[(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)\geq 8.\]
Also determine the case of equality.

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?
Yiyj1   6
N 2 hours ago by Primeniyazidayi
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?

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC a triangle
2. D, E two point on the segment BC so that BD = DE= EC
3. M, N the midpoint of ED, AE
4. H the orthocenter of the acutangle triangle ADE
5. 1, 2 the circumcircle of the triangle DHM, EHN
6. P, Q the second point of intersection of 1 and BM, 2 and CN
7. U, V the second points of intersection of 2 and MN, PQ.

Prove : UV is parallel to PM.

Sincerely

When I had less than 25 posts on AoPS, I saw many people create threads about them getting 1000th posts. I thought I would never hit 1000 posts, but here we are, this is my 1000th post.

As a lot of users like to do, I'll write my math story:

Daycare
Preschool
Kindergarten
First Grade
Second Grade
Third Grade
Fourth Grade
Fifth Grade
Sixth Grade
Quick Quote that was from MLK that I edited

In conclusion, AoPS has helped me improve my math. I have also made many new friends on AoPS!

Finally, I would like to say thank you to all the new friends I made and all the instructors on AoPS that taught me!

Minor side note, but
