Piphi also started the signature trend at around May 2020.<br><br />
<br />
Piphi has been very close to winning multiple [[Greed Control]] games, piphi placed 5th in game #18 and 2nd in game #19. Thanks to piphi, Greed Control games have started to be kept track of. Piphi made a spreadsheet that has all of Greed Control history [https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c19451h2126208p15569802 here].<br><br />
<br />
Piphi also found out who won [[Reaper]] games #1 and #2 as seen [https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c19451h1826745p15526330 here].<br><br />
<br />
Piphi has been called OP by many AoPSers, including the legendary [[User:Radio2|Radio2]] himself [https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c19451h1826745p15526800 here].<br><br />
<br />
Piphi created the [[AoPS Administrators]] page, added most of the AoPS Admins to it, and created the scrollable table.<br><br />
<br />
Piphi has also added a lot of the info that is in the [[Reaper Archives]].<br><br />
<br />
Piphi has a side-project that is making the Wiki's [[Main Page]] look better, you can check that out [[User:Piphi/AoPS Wiki|here]].<br><br />

<hr />
<div>The '''ball-and-urn''' technique, also known as '''stars-and-bars''', is a commonly used technique in [[combinatorics]].<br />
<br />
It is used to solve problems of the form: how many ways can one distribute <math>k</math> indistinguishable objects into <math>n</math> bins? We can imagine this as finding the number of ways to drop <math>k</math> balls into <math>n</math> urns, or equivalently to drop <math>k</math> balls amongst <math>n-1</math> dividers. The number of ways to do such is <math>{n+k-1 \choose k}</math>.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Reasoning (One of Several) ==<br />
If you could only put one ball in each urn, then there would be <math>{n \choose k}</math> possibilities; the problem is that you can repeat urns, so this does not work. You can, however, reframe the problem as so: imagine that you have the <math>n</math> urns (numbered 1 through <math>n</math>) and then you also have <math>k-1</math> urns labeled "repeat 1st", "repeat 2nd", ..., and "repeat <math>k-1</math>-th". After the balls are in urns you can imagine that any balls in the "repeat" urns are moved on top of the correct balls in the first <math>n</math> urns, moving from left to right. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the non-repeating arrangements in these new urns and the repeats-allowed arrangements in the original urns. <br />
<br />
For a simple example, consider <math>4</math> balls and <math>5</math> urns. The one to one correspondence between several of the possibilities and the "repeated urns" version is shown. Since there are 4 balls, these examples will have three possible "repeat" urns. For simplicity, I am listing the numbers of the urns with balls in them, so "1,1,2,4" means <math>2</math> balls in urn <math>1, 1</math> in urn <math>2,</math> and <math>1</math> in urn <math>4.</math> The same is true for the "repeat" urns options but I use the notation <math>r_1</math> etc.<br />
<br />
*<math>1,2,3,4 \leftrightarrow 1,2,3,4</math> (no repeats).<br />
*<math>1,1,2,4 \leftrightarrow 1,2,4,</math> <math>r_1</math>.<br />
*<math>1,2,2,2 \leftrightarrow 1,2,</math> <math>r_2</math>, <math>r_3</math>.<br />
*<math>4,4,5,5 \leftrightarrow 4,5,</math> <math>r_1</math>, <math>r_2</math>.<br />
<br />
Since the re-framed version of the problem has <math>n+k-1</math> urns, and <math>k</math> balls that can each only go in one urn, the number of possible scenarios is simply <math>{n+k-1 <br />
\choose k}.</math><br />

[[Category:Combinatorics]]</div>Madelynhttps://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=Committee_forming&diff=96310Committee forming2018-07-16T23:49:34Z<p>Madelyn: /* Problem */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Committee forming''' is one technique for solving certain [[combinatorics]] problems.<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
First, we'll introduce committee forming with a simple example.<br />
<br />
=== Problem ===<br />
How many committees of 3 people can be formed from a group of 12 people?<br />
<br />
=== Solution ===<br />
Suppose that the order in which we choose the members of the committee didn't matter. Then there would be 12 possibilities for the first person, 11 for the second person, and 10 for the last person. So by the [[multiplication principle]] there would be <math>12\cdot 11\cdot 10 = 1320</math> total committees.<br />
<br />
However, the order we choose them ''does not'' matter. So we have [[overcounting | overcounted]]. Since there are <math>3! = 6</math> ways in which each distinct committee could have been chosen, we divide our result by 6 to get <math>\frac{1320}6 = 220</math>.<br />
<br />
''Note: there is a special notation for expressing the number of ways to choose a committee of size <math>k</math> from a set of size <math>n</math>. We use <math>{n\choose k}</math> which is called a [[binomial coefficient]]. From here on in this article, we will use this notation.''<br />
<br />
== Proving Combinatorial Identities ==<br />
The committee forming method can be a very powerful tool for proving [[combinatorial identity | combinatorial identities]].<br />
<br />
=== Problem ===<br />
Prove that <center><math>{n\choose 0} + {n\choose 1} + {n\choose 2} + \cdots + {n\choose n} = 2^n.</math></center><br />
<br />
=== Solution ===<br />
We can look at each term individually: <math>{n\choose 0}</math> is the number of ways that a committee of size 0 can be chosen, <math>{n\choose 1}</math> is the number of ways that a committee of size 1 can be chosen, and so on. Thus, the problem can be restated as finding the number of committees of any size that can be formed from a group of <math>n</math> people. Each person can either be in the committee or not in the committee. Since there are two possibilities for each person and each person is independent of every other person, there are <math>2^n</math> committees.<br />
<br />
== Further Problems ==<br />
=== Introductory Problems ===<br />
# Find the number of ways to choose a committee of size 4 from a group of 8 people.<br />
# How many ways can a committee of size 3 be chosen from a group of 10 people if one of the 3 people on the committee is designated as the president?<br />
# Compute the value of <math>{3\choose 0} + {3\choose 1} + {3\choose 2} + {3\choose 3}</math>.<br />
<br />
=== Intermediate Problems ===<br />
# Three slips of paper are dropped in a hat. The numbers 1, 3, and 9 are written on them, respectively. Any number of slips are pulled from the hat and the numbers written on them are added together. How many different sums are possible?<br />
# Prove that <math>{n\choose k} = {n\choose n-k}</math>.<br />
# Prove [[Blaise Pascal | Pascal]]'s identity: <center><math>{n\choose k} = {n-1\choose k} + {n-1\choose k-1}</math></center><br />
# Prove that <center><math> {m+n\choose k} = {m\choose 0}{n\choose k} + {m\choose 1}{n\choose k-1} + \cdots + {m\choose k}{n\choose 0}.</math></center><br />

<hr />
<div>A moderator on the Art of Problem Solving website is a non-administrator user who has powers for a particular forum which non-moderators don't. That is: they can lock topics in a forum, move them, delete them, comment about certain posts and so on. The short form for moderator is mod, the short term for administrator is admin.<br />
<br />
When a user is an Administrator, their name shows up in red.<br />
When they are a mod, their name shows up in green.<br />
<br />
An user automatically becomes an administrator of a forum if they create it. This user can manage who gets to be a mod or admin in said forum. <br />
<br />
==Moderators vs. Administrators==<br />
<br />
Administrators are more powerful in Art of Problem Solving than moderators. Moderators answer to Administrators, and not vice versa.<br />
<br />
Some admins might have their names in blue instead of red. Those are AoPS site administrators. They are administrators to all forums on AoPS, even private forums and class forums.<br />
