AOPS Competition Math for MS Book Solutions
SarahSunhwa   2
Competition Math for MS by Jason Batterson:

In the introduction, the author mentioned that students who'd like to quickly find solutions/answers could refer to his (J. Batterson) website. However, when I went to look (agmath.com), for Competition Math for MS, all I see is links redirecting me to purchasing the book on the AOPS website.

Are the solutions--organized--really available anywhere? If so, could someone provide the link, too? Thanks!

Bogus Proof Marathon
pifinity   7375
Hi!
I'd like to introduce the Bogus Proof Marathon.

In this marathon, simply post a bogus proof that is middle-school level and the next person will find the error. You don't have to post the real solution :P

Use classic Marathon format:
[hide=P#]a1b2c3[/hide]
[hide=S#]a1b2c3[/hide]


Example posts:

P(x)
-----
S(x)
P(x+1)
-----
Let's go!! Just don't make it too hard!

Facts About 2025!
Existing_Human1   125
Hello AOPS,

As we enter the New Year, the most exciting part is figuring out the mathematical connections to the number we have now temporally entered

Here are some facts about 2025:
$$2025 = 45^2 = (20+25)(20+25)$$$$2025 = 1^3 + 2^3 +3^3 + 4^3 +5^3 +6^3 + 7^3 +8^3 +9^3 = (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)^2 = {10 \choose 2}^2$$
If anyone has any more facts about 2025, enlighted the world with a new appreciation for the year


(I got some of the facts from this video)

2024 Castle Mock Aime #11 circumcircle geometry
parmenides51   1
Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 4$, $BC = 5$, and $CA = 6$ with circumcircle $\omega$. The line through $B$ parallel to $AC$ meets $\omega$ at $X$, while the line through $C$ parallel to $AB$ meets $\omega$ at $Y$ . If $P$ and $Q$ are the reflections of $X$ over $AB$ and $Y$ over $AC$, respectively, the length $PQ$ can be represented as $\frac{p}{q}$ for relatively prime positive integers $ p, q$. Find $p + q$.

Alright I was scrolling through wikipedia when I saw this,

Context: USAMO cutoff
[quote=Wikipedia]To increase the limited pool of female students for team selection, females received a lower cutoff than males. This policy change was never officially announced by the MAA and was decided upon a week before the administration of the exam.[/quote]

Can someone verify this information?

Preventing Cheating on AIME 1
RT2000   8
The 2025 AIME I is around the corner(good luck!) and I am slightly optimistic about my chances of qualifying for the USAMO this year. However, I am aware that there has been cheating in many previous years on the AIME and I want to know what steps the MAA is taking to prevent this from happening so that this cycle will be as fair as possible.

1. Will the test be in lockdown browser so people can't just go to another window and start calculating answers?

2. When will the AIME be released to competition managers to avoid cheating?

3. What is the range of times that people around the US can take the competition?

4. Will MAA account for the possible cheating in their indices by lowering the USAMO Qual Index?

jlacosta   0
Happy New Year!!! Did you know, 2025 is the first perfect square year that any AoPS student has experienced? The last perfect square year was 1936 and the next one will be 2116! Let’s make it a perfect year all around by tackling new challenges, connecting with more problem-solvers, and staying curious!

We have some fun new things happening at AoPS in 2025 with new courses, such as self-paced Introduction to Algebra B, more coding, more physics, and, well, more!

There are a number of upcoming events, so be sure to mark your calendars for the following:

[list][*]Accelerated AIME Problem Series classes start on January 6th and 7th. These AIME classes will run three times a week throughout the month of January. With this accelerated track, you can fit three months of contest tips and training into four weeks finishing right in time for the AIME I on February 6th.
[*]Join our Math Jam on January 7th to learn about our Spring course options. We'll work through a few sample problems, discuss how the courses work, and answer your questions.
[*]RSVP for our New Year, New Challenges webinar on January 9th. We’ll discuss how you can meet your goals, useful strategies for your problem solving journey, and what classes and resources are available.
Have questions? Our Academic Success team is only an email away, write to us at success@aops.com.[/list]
AoPS Spring classes are open for enrollment. Get a jump on 2025 and enroll in our math, contest prep, coding, and science classes today! Need help finding the right plan for your goals? Check out our recommendations page!

Don’t forget: Highlight your AoPS Education on LinkedIn!
Many of you are beginning to build your education and achievements history on LinkedIn. Now, you can showcase your courses from Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) directly on your LinkedIn profile! Don't miss this opportunity to stand out and connect with fellow problem-solvers in the professional world and be sure to follow us at: https://www.linkedin.com/school/art-of-problem-solving/mycompany/ Check out our job postings, too, if you are interested in either full-time, part-time, or internship opportunities!

Can Euclid solve this geo ?
S.Ragnork1729   27
Source: INMO 2025 P3
Euclid has a tool called splitter which can only do the following two types of operations :
• Given three non-collinear marked points $X,Y,Z$ it can draw the line which forms the interior angle bisector of $\angle{XYZ}$.
• It can mark the intersection point of two previously drawn non-parallel lines .
Suppose Euclid is only given three non-collinear marked points $A,B,C$ in the plane . Prove that Euclid can use the splitter several times to draw the centre of circle passing through $A,B$ and $C$.

Expected value of randomly generated binary decimals
naenaendr   2
Source: own
Let $p\in\left[0,1\right]$ be a real number. $X_i$ are i.i.d. random variables on a Bernoulli distribution such that $P(X_i=1)=p$ and $P(X_i=0)=1-p$ for all $i\in\mathbb{N}$. Then, the infinite decimal $N=0.X_1X_2X_3\cdots$ is written out as a binary real number. What is the expected value of $N$ (in decimal) as a function of $p$?

Is it true that it exists $\phi$ strictly increasing function from $\mathbb N$ to itself, with $\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow \infty} u_{\phi(n)}=l$ ?
