Me (PatTheKing806) and EaZ_Shadow have created a AMC 10/AIME Study Forum! Hopefully, this forum wont die quickly. To signup, do /join or \join.

Click here to join! (or do some pushups) :P

People should join this forum if they are wanting to do well on the AMC 10 next year, trying get into AIME, or loves math!

At 12 PM, the manager then encourages his employees to work faster by increasing their pay, in which they then all speed up to 6 items per hour. At 1 PM, the manager calls in 15 more employees which make 5 items per hour each. Unfortunately, at 3 PM, the AC stops working and the hot sun starts taking its toll, which slows every employee down by 2 items per hour.

At 6 PM, he calls in 30 more employees. At 7 PM, he rewards all the pickers again, speeding them up to 6 items per hour. But at 8 PM, n employees suddenly crash out and stop working due to fatigue, and the rest all slow back down to 5 items per hour because they are tired. The manager does not have any more employees, so if too many of them drop out, he is screwed and will have to go overtime.

Hi, I moved from Washington State to New Hampshire recently and at this moment I have not found a local team yet for this year's SMT. I am an 8th grader and last year I took SMT with the Washington Rainier Team. I did take USAJMO, and 2 years ago I was also with the Washington State Team at MATHCOUNTS Nationals. If your team needs one more member, please message me! Appreciate it! Thanks!

Summary of the problem: Pressing go down to last post button always creates a gray box overlapping last post
Page URL: any forum
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to any topic in a forum
2. The gray box at the bottom overlaps part of the first post
Expected behavior: Should not show a gray box
Frequency: 100% of the time
Operating system(s): Linux HP EliteBook 835 G8 Notebook PC
Browser(s), including version: Chrome 133.0.6943.142 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable)
Additional information: It works on any other device, on my iPhone XR, a MacOS, and my iPad. Took the screenshot a month ago. The gray box still appears
