May is an exciting month! National MATHCOUNTS is the second week of May in Washington D.C. and our Founder, Richard Rusczyk will be presenting a seminar, Preparing Strong Math Students for College and Careers, on May 11th.

Are you interested in working towards MATHCOUNTS and don’t know where to start? We have you covered! If you have taken Prealgebra, then you are ready for MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics. Already aiming for State or National MATHCOUNTS and harder AMC 8 problems? Then our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced course is for you.

Summer camps are starting next month at the Virtual Campus in math and language arts that are 2 - to 4 - weeks in duration. Spaces are still available - don’t miss your chance to have an enriching summer experience. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following upcoming events:
[list][*]May 9th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, Casework 2: Overwhelming Evidence — A Text Adventure, a game where participants will work together to navigate the map, solve puzzles, and win! All are welcome.
[*]May 19th, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, What's Next After Beast Academy?, designed for students finishing Beast Academy and ready for Prealgebra 1.
[*]May 20th, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 1 Math Jam, Problems 1 to 4, join the Canada/USA Mathcamp staff for this exciting Math Jam, where they discuss solutions to Problems 1 to 4 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz!
[*]May 21st, 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET, Mathcamp 2025 Qualifying Quiz Part 2 Math Jam, Problems 5 and 6, Canada/USA Mathcamp staff will discuss solutions to Problems 5 and 6 of the 2025 Mathcamp Qualifying Quiz![/list]
Our full course list for upcoming classes is below:
All classes run 7:30pm-8:45pm ET/4:30pm - 5:45pm PT unless otherwise noted.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Let $A'$ be the reflection of point $A$ over the line $BC$. Let $O$ and $H$ be the circumcenter and the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$, respectively, and let $E$ be the midpoint of segment $OH$. Let $D$ and $L$ be the points where the reflection of line $AA'$ with respect to line $OA'$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$, where point $D$ lies on the arc $BC$ not containing $A$. If \( M \) is a point on the line \( BC \) such that \( OM \perp AD \), prove that \( \angle MAD = \angle EAL \).

Let's say that the reflections intersects the sides $BA$,$AD$,$DC$ and $CB$ at the points $A"$,$B"$,$C"$ and $D"$, respectively. And let's name the points of the reflections $A'$,$B'$,$C'$ and $D'$ across the sides $BA$,$AD$,$DC$ and $CB$ , respectively. Since the quadrilaterals $A'B'C'D'$ and $A"B"C"D"$ have parallel sides, they are similar. So, we must to show that the quadrilateral $A"B"C"D"$ is cyclic: from the cyclic quadrilaterals $AA"EB"$,$DB"EC"$,$C"ED"C$ and $D"BA"E$ we have $\angle B"AE=\angle B"A"E $, $\angle B"DE=\angle B"C"E$,$\angle D"C"E=\angle D"CE$ and $\angle D"BE=\angle D"A"E$, respectively. And since $\angle B"AE+\angle B"DE=90^\circ$ and $\angle D"BE +\angle D"CE=90^\circ$. From equal angles we get $\angle B"A"E+\angle D"A"E+\angle D"C"E+\angle B"C"E=180^\circ$, as desired.

Let the reflections of $E$ over $AB,BC,CD,DA$ respectively be $P,S,R,Q$ respectively.

Let $\omega_A,\omega_B,\omega_C,\omega_D$ be the circles centered at $A,B,C,D$ with radius $EA,EB,EC,ED$.

We see that, $P=\omega_A\cap\omega_B, Q=\omega_A\cap\omega_D, R=\omega_C,\omega_D$ and $S=\omega_A\cap\omega_C$.

Now By an inversion $\Psi$ centered at $E$ with an arbitary radius, (let the circle be $\omega$) we see that $\omega_A\mapsto$ Radical Axis of $\omega$ and $\omega_A$. Similarly for others. Let $\omega_A,\omega_B,\omega_C,\omega_D\mapsto \omega_A',\omega_B',\omega_C',\omega_D'$ respectively .

Now as $P=\omega\cap\omega_A$. Hence, $P\mapsto\omega_A'\cap\omega_B'$. Similarly for others.

If $P,Q,R,S\mapsto P',Q',R',S'$ then $P'Q'R'S'$ is a rectangle which is actually a cyclic quadrilateral. Now again inverting back we get that $PQRS$ is a cyclic quadrilateral. Hence, proved. $\blacksquare$.

Take a homothety centered at $E$ with scale factor $\frac{1}{2}$, which brings the reflection of $E$ across each side of $ABCD$ to the projection from $E$ onto that side. Because dilations preserve circles, it suffices to prove that these four projections are concyclic, so let the projection from $E$ onto $AD, AB, BC$, and $CD$ be $W, X, Y$, and $Z$, respectively.

Because $\angle{EXB}=\angle{EYB}=90$, we have that $EXBY$ is cyclic and thus $\angle{EXY}=\angle{EBY}$, and by right angles, $\angle{EBY}=\angle{CEY}$. Because $\angle{EZC}=\angle{EYC}=90$, we have that $EYCZ$ is cyclic as well, so thus $\angle{CEY}=\angle{YZC}$, and therefore $\angle{EXY}=\angle{YZC}$. Now we do basically the same angle chase on the "other side": we know $\angle{AWE}=\angle{AXE}=90$, so $\angle{WXE}=\angle{EAW}$, and by right angles, $\angle{EAW}=\angle{WED}$. Because $\angle{DWE}=\angle{EZD}=90$, we have that $WEZD$ is cyclic as well, so thus $\angle{WED}=\angle{WZD}$, and therefore $\angle{WXE}=\angle{WZD}$. Hence, $\angle{WXY}=\angle{WXE}+\angle{EXY}=\angle{WZD}+\angle{YZC}=180-\angle{WZY}$, so $\angle{WXY}+\angle{WZY}=180$, so thus $WXYZ$ is cyclic, and we are done.

let E1 E2 E3 E4 be the reflectons E. It is req to prove that E1 E2 E3 E4 are cocyclic
define the intersections of E and E1 E2 E3 E4 with the sides of the quadrilateral as P1 P2 P3 P4
consider a circular inversion centered at E with arbitary radius.
it is obvious that P1^ P2^ P3^ P4^ are cocyclic.
So P1 P2 P3 P4 must also be concyclic.
moreover we notice a homothety centered at E which maps P1 P2 P3 P4 to E1 E2 E3 E4 resp.
So E1 E2 E3 E4 must be concyclic as well (as desired)

Let $X,Y,Z,W$ denote the foot of the perpendicular from $AB,AD,DC,BC$ respectively. Let the reflection of $E$ over $AB,AD,DC,CB$ be $X’,Y’,Z’,W’$. $X’Y’Z’W’$ are $XYZW$ merely dilations of each other, so by homothety, it suffices to prove that $XWZY$ is cyclic. Noting that $AXEY, BWEX,WCZE, YEZD$ are all cyclic,
$$\angle XWE + \angle XYE = \angle XBE + \angle XAE = 90$$$$\angle EYZ + \angle EWZ = \angle EDZ + \angle ECZ = 90$$Hence, $\angle XWE + \angle XYE + \angle EYZ + \angle EWZ = \angle XYZ + \angle XWZ = 180$, which implies that $XYZW$ is cyclic, as desired.
