Now unfortunately I don't know the difficulty of the problems posted here but I'll try to replicate:

Bob has 20 apples and 19 oranges. How many ways can he split the fruits between 7 people if each person must have at least 1 apple and 2 oranges?

After looking at the other posters I realized just how bashy this is

Also I can only edit this message for now since new AoPS users can only send 6 messages every day

Annoying Probability Math Problem
RYang2   12
N 3 hours ago by giratina3
I was working in my math textbook(not the AoPS one) when I came across this math problem:

Determine if the events are dependent or independent.
1. Drawing a red and a blue marble at the same time from a bag containing 6 red and 4 blue marbles
2.(omitted)

I thought it was independent, since the events happen at the same time, but the textbook answer said dependent.
Can someone help me understand(or prove the textbook wrong)?

1000th Post!

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

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

I found the slip of paper a few days ago that I think I wrote when I was in kindergarten. It is just a sequence of numbers and you have to find the next number, the pattern is $1,2,5,40,1280,?$. I couldn't solve this and was wondering if any of you can find the pattern

Bogus Proof Marathon

Hi!
I'd like to introduce the Bogus Proof Marathon.

In this marathon, simply post a bogus proof that is middle-school level and the next person will find the error. You don't have to post the real solution :P

Use classic Marathon format:
[hide=P#]a1b2c3[/hide]
[hide=S#]a1b2c3[/hide]


Example posts:

P(x)
-----
S(x)
P(x+1)
-----
Let's go!! Just don't make it too hard!

Sequence of projections is convergent

A point $A_0$ and two lines $d_1$ and $d_2$ are given in the space. For each nonnegative integer $n$ we denote by $B_n$ the projection of $A_n$ on $d_2,$ and by $A_{n+1}$ the projection of $B_n$ on $d_1.$ Prove that there exist two segments $[A'A''] \subset d_1$ and $[B'B''] \subset d_2$ of length $0.001$ and a nonnegative integer $N$ such that $A_n \in [A'A'']$ and $B_n \in [B'B'']$ for any $n \ge N.$
