Source: Use your common sense! (enough is enough)
Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:


To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.


More specifically:

For new threads:


a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.

Examples:
Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿)
Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"


b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.

Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".


c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote]$lim_{n\to 1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n}-lnn$[/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.


For answers to already existing threads:


d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve $x^{3}+y^{3}=z^{3}$, do not answer with "$x=y=z=0$ is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "$x=1337, y=481, z=42$ is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that $x=y=z=0$ is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.

e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.



To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!


Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).

The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers, and let $\mathcal R$ be a $2m\times 2n$ grid of unit squares.

A domino is a $1\times2$ or $2\times1$ rectangle. A subset $S$ of grid squares in $\mathcal R$ is domino-tileable if dominoes can be placed to cover every square of $S$ exactly once with no domino extending outside of $S$. Note: The empty set is domino tileable.

An up-right path is a path from the lower-left corner of $\mathcal R$ to the upper-right corner of $\mathcal R$ formed by exactly $2m+2n$ edges of the grid squares.

Determine, with proof, in terms of $m$ and $n$, the number of up-right paths that divide $\mathcal R$ into two domino-tileable subsets.

Hello! I am a 6th grader this year about to become 7th grade next year. I was wondering if I should take the AMC 12 next year because I think I am ready for it, I was thinking to do AMC 10 A and AMC 12 B, do you think it is a good idea? Here are the courses I finished and now I am working on:

Finished:
1. Intro Algebra
2. Intro Number Theory
3. Intro Counting and Probability
4. Volume 1

Working on:
1. Intermdiate Counting and Probability
2. Three Year Mathcounts Marathon

Upcoming:
1. Intro Geomtery (Next Month)
2. Intro to Alg (May)
3. Pre-calc (Summer)
4. Volume 2???

Stats for AMC 12 (Mocked):

1. AMC 12 A 2024: 100.5
2. AMC 12 B 2024: 105
3. AMC 12 A 2023: 96

The reason why I sometimes I get 100+ is because sometimes I know how to do the first step of the problem but the last step I have to kind of infrence but still i know how to do the problem.

typically up until 8th grade you want to take amc 10
and you can decide from there
note that it is much easier to qual for jmo than amo (and mop from jmo than mop from amo), and if you make both JMO and AMO you're forced to take AMO

You should only take amc 12 is when you have to or you already make usajmo and have a good chance to make usamo. You haven't "mastered" amc 10, an easier competition, so why should you take a harder one? It makes no sense. Some may say that it is good to get a taste of harder problems. I think that you should be able to solve most of the problems on the amc 10 before moving on.

Hello! I am a 6th grader this year about to become 7th grade next year. I was wondering if I should take the AMC 12 next year because I think I am ready for it, I was thinking to do AMC 10 A and AMC 12 B, do you think it is a good idea? Here are the courses I finished and now I am working on:

Finished:
1. Intro Algebra
2. Intro Number Theory
3. Intro Counting and Probability
4. Volume 1

Working on:
1. Intermdiate Counting and Probability
2. Three Year Mathcounts Marathon

Upcoming:
1. Intro Geomtery (Next Month)
2. Intro to Alg (May)
3. Pre-calc (Summer)
4. Volume 2???

Stats for AMC 12 (Mocked):

1. AMC 12 A 2024: 100.5
2. AMC 12 B 2024: 105
3. AMC 12 A 2023: 96

The reason why I sometimes I get 100+ is because sometimes I know how to do the first step of the problem but the last step I have to kind of infrence but still i know how to do the problem.

in my opinion, there is genuinely no reason to take amc 12 if you knw you will qualify for aime via the amc 10, unless you are looking to qualify for mop. but can seventh graders even mop qual? or, unless ur sure u will make usamo

He's a 6th grader. He's asking for help. There's no need to criticize him like that.
