91.5? Idk

Since I will most likely not use my B score for AMO, I attempted the later problems instead of checking. As a result...

The only comfort is that I solved all the geo (#12 is the hardest IMO).

EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention this: embarrassing incident before the test

Darn yeah horde is risky

Btw, do you think learning barycentric coordinates is worth it for the AIME? Or is it only really useful in olympiads?

Short answer: no (I've only seen one AIME problem trivialized by bary). Area ratios used to be really popular on AIME, but have declined in recent years (I feel like it's because everyone knows mass points).

The question is, how will it end?
and the smart answer is "I won't be alive to see it end so I won't care and I will just get this midterm done"

well the universe will end anyways

@below this is why you shouldn't waste your time thinking about life, because it doesn't give happy results

is it just me or did the total number of blogposts mysteriously decrease by 1? I'm pretty sure it went from 178 to 177
by MP8148, Oct 29, 2021, 12:18 PM
woops i should have mentioned, it was the problem with which the bary cs pdf was attached (linked in the recent geo marathon) and also thanks for the asy guide link
by MrOreoJuice, Sep 27, 2021, 8:03 AM
idk which diagram you're referring to, but thx. it takes practice to get better at asy (like everything else lol), but i think this is pretty good
by MP8148, Sep 26, 2021, 10:11 PM
omgg that diagram is so hawt
you should make an asy tutorial lol

$[asy] unitsize(1cm); pair A = dir(110), B = dir(210), C = dir(330); draw(A--B--C--A); [/asy]$

Pen advantages: Easier to write with (IMO, esp. if you have a decent pen that costs more than 25 cents), nicer to look at.
Pencil advantages: Erasable.

I tried erasable pens but they just feel like darker pencils.
by Frestho, Aug 31, 2019, 6:35 PM
I use pens for everything, except at real [math] contests where I use pencils. Weird right
by MP8148, Aug 22, 2019, 5:58 AM
Lol when I mock AMCs and AIMEs I use my pen.
by Frestho, Aug 22, 2019, 4:43 AM
Sure.

Contrib pls?

Apparently it does.

Just curious: does LaTeX work in shoutboxes? $\dfrac{2}{3}$
by MP8148, May 29, 2019, 2:47 AM
Nice blog name
by Frestho, Mar 11, 2019, 5:11 PM
I'll definitely make much more. 1 per month is the lower bound .
by MP8148, Dec 19, 2018, 5:08 AM
Only one per month?! You should make it more
by hashtagmath, Dec 18, 2018, 5:22 AM

107 shouts

Prove AB, AC, AD are concurrent
