Jul 1, 2025
We are halfway through summer, so be sure to carve out some time to keep your skills sharp and explore challenging topics at AoPS Online and our AoPS Academies (including the Virtual Campus)!

[list][*]Over 60 summer classes are starting at the Virtual Campus on July 7th - check out the math and language arts options for middle through high school levels.
[*]At AoPS Online, we have accelerated sections where you can complete a course in half the time by meeting twice/week instead of once/week, starting on July 8th:
[list][*]MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics
[*]MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced
[*]AMC Problem Series[/list]
[*]Plus, AoPS Online has a special seminar July 14 - 17 that is outside the standard fare: Paradoxes and Infinity
[*]We are expanding our in-person AoPS Academy locations - are you looking for a strong community of problem solvers, exemplary instruction, and math and language arts options? Look to see if we have a location near you and enroll in summer camps or academic year classes today! New locations include campuses in California, Georgia, New York, Illinois, and Oregon and more coming soon![/list]

MOP (Math Olympiad Summer Program) just ended and the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) is right around the corner! This year’s IMO will be held in Australia, July 10th - 20th.

2500 VIMC mathematics competition
OWOW   56
N Today at 5:06 AM by sangriabeaver5
Hello! This is my second math competition I made up, this time, set in the year 2500 on a Venus base in the upper atmosphere.
This is basically AMC8 for Venusians.

2500 VIMC

What is the sum of all perfect squares less than 2500 in the form $9p^2$ where $p$ is prime?

Equilateral triangle $ABC$ has Area of $6$. If point $D$ is the midpoint of $AB$, then line $L$ is $CD$, which cuts the equilateral triangle in half. What is the sum of the perimeters of $ACD$ and $BCD$?

A Quadnumber is a number whose digits sum to $4$. How many positive 3-digit quadnumbers are there? (ex. $310$ is a quadnumber because it is positive, 3-digit, and the digits sum to $4$)

A wheel has $100$ equal sections with the numbers from $1$ to $100$ written on them. If you spin the wheel $N$ times, what is the probability that you will land on a prime number on any of the $N$ spins? (Clarification: Probability of Landing on a prime AT LEAST ONCE in the N spins)

Car A travels at a constant $10$ mph. Car B is a probabilistic car, and at the start of every hour, it gets the option for a $10\%$ chance of traveling at $5$ mph, an $80\%$ chance of traveling at $10$ mph, and a $10\%$ chance of traveling at $15$ mph. Once Car B decides on a speed, it acts like a normal car for the rest of the hour with a constant speed at which it picked at the start of the hour, and then the same options happen at the start of the next hour, and so on. Car A and Car B leave at the same time, and they both go in the same direction. What is the probability that Car B is right next to Car A (same speed, same position) for only $3$ hours in the next 6 hours?

If $x \equiv 2\pmod{3}$, and $x \equiv 3\pmod{4}$, and $x \equiv 4\pmod{5}$, what is the least positive value of $x$.

If $f(x)=3x-1$ and $g(x)$ is $x^2-3x+3$, what is $f(g(5)-f(4))+g(f(3)-g(2))+1$?



This competition is shorter than the Mars version (MIMC 2200) which was 10 questions. But this one I believe is harder than the MIMC. (designed to be, anyway) Btw here is the entire MIMC competition in case you missed it a couple weeks ago.



$25^2-10^2=$?

If ball A costs $\$1.50$, and ball B costs $\$1.75$, what is the average cost per ball if you buy $10$ of ball A and $4$ of ball B? Please write as an improper fraction

How many divisors does $2200^3$ have?

If $f(2200-k)=10(k-2)$, then what is $f(f(2^{11}))$?

If three distinct positive primes, $(p,q,r)$, sum to 50, what is the greatest possible value of $(r^p)-(q^p)$ such that $p<q<r$?

What positive integer $x$ satisfies: $x^5-(x+4)^3+10^{(5-3)}=0$?

If a circle with radius $1$ is inscribed in a square, which is inscribed in another circle, what is the area of the outer circle minus the area of the inner circle?

What is the sum of $b$ and $c$ such that the roots of $x^2+bx+c=0$ sum to $11c$ and multiply to $12b-7$?

If the operation $a\#b = \dfrac{(a-b+1)^2}{(b-a+1)^2}$, what is the largest possible value of $(3\#x)$ given that $x$ is a positive integer?

How many 4-digit numbers have the property that the sum of the thousands and tens digits combined is the square of the sum of the hundreds and ones digits combined?

Pls write all solutions like this:
ex. S1 (Contest: either VIMC or MIMC)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Completed problems (I'm not going to show solutions here so other people can solve it)
MIMC: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (9/10 done)
VIMC: 1,3,4,6,7 (5/7 done)
