Below are some stuff I am doing to practice 
. That does not mean I know all of it (actually the only ones I do not know yet is the cubic one and the 
one)

If you want to typeset your own LaTeX equation in a STANDALONE PDF like AOPS does (although they do images), use the standalone documentclass.

On an AMC 8, you can use a ruler to measure things out. Sometimes that works!
