Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incentre $I$ and circumcircle $\Omega$. Let $D, E, F$ be the midpoints of the arcs $\stackrel{\frown}{BC}, \stackrel{\frown}{CA}, \stackrel{\frown}{AB}$ of $\Omega$ not containing $A, B, C$ respectively. Let $D'$ be the point of $\Omega$ diametrically opposite to $D$. Show that $I, D'$ and the midpoint $M$ of $EF$ lie on a line.

Could I make AIME?

N 2 hours ago by A7456321
I'm a 4th grader, and I'm about half-way through Intro to Algebra, Intro to C&P, and Intro to Number Theory. I wouldn't say I get all of the material, but I understand like 80-90% of the material. Could I make AIME in 6th or 7th grade? Also, I'm doing AMC 8 for the second time, I got 15 questions last time, would I be able to make Honor or Distinguished Honor Roll this time?

Summer math contest prep

School is almost out, so I have a lot of time in the summer. I want to be able to make DHR on AMC 8 in 7th grade

(current 6th grader) and hopefully get an average score in AMC 10. What should I do during the summer to achieve

these goals? For context, I have many books from AOPS, have already taken the Intro to Algebra A course, and took

AMC 8 for the first time as a 6th grader. If there are any challenging math problems you think would benefit learning,

please post them here. Thank you! :-D

Len is playing a Arkansas-styled basketball game with his friend, Dawson. The game ends whenever a player has a 2 point lead over the other player. In Arkansas styled basketball, points can only be scored in increments of two. Whenever Len has possession of the ball, he scores at a rate of 60 percent. However, Dawson is slightly worse and when he has possession of the ball, he scores at a rate of only 40 percent. Given that Len starts with possession first each game, what is the expected amount of games he wins if they play 38 total?

Challenge: Make every number to 100 using 4 fours

N 3 hours ago by Capybara7017
I've seen this attempted a lot but I want to see if the AoPS community can actually do it. Using ONLY 4 fours and math operations, make as many numbers as you can. Try to go in order. I'll start:
$$(4-4)*4*4=0$$$$4-4+4/4=1$$$$4/4+4/4=2$$$$(4+4+4)/4=3$$$$4+(4-4)*4=4$$$$4+4^{4-4}=5$$$$4!/4+4-4=6$$$$4+4-4/4=7$$$$4+4+4-4=8$$

Devin and Cowen are playing a game where they take turns flipping a biased coin. The coin lands on heads with probability 2/3 and tails with probability 1/3. Devin goes first. On each turn, the current player flips the coin repeatedly until the coin lands tails. For each heads flipped, the player gains 1 point and continues flipping. If the coin lands tails, their turn ends, and the other player takes their turn. The first player to reach 3 points wins the game immediately. What is the probability that Devin wins the game? Express your answer as a common fraction in lowest terms.

Hi everyone!

So I am currently in grade 6, and if anyone could give any tips for getting high scores in math competition, that would be great!

I haven't been doing so well in AMC 8, and other competitions like Math Kangaroo, etc....

I feel like i'm stuck, so if anyone could give any resources that helped you learn and score better, could you share that with me?

Thank you so much!

( also how much time should i spend on math every day? )

From a point $O$ inside a square $ABCD$ we raise a segment $OS$ perpendicular to the plane of the square. Show that the projections of $O$ on the planes $(SAB)$, $(SBC)$, $(SCD)$ and $(SDA)$ are coplanar if and only if $O\in [AC]\cup [BD]$.
