[plain moon]

dang

are you aiming for dhr

[surreal willow]

Chat is the amc 10b hard this year?

[sturdy viper]

BRO I SOLD

😭

Amc10b was harder than 10a

[tame burrow]

Oh nah

[surreal willow]

what??

[granite stump]

yo, wat was on amc10b

[safe flint]

i love the feet pics guys

anyone got some

[versed jungle]

Is it allowed to invite people in this server to a math competition, i.e. can y put the link to the discord of the math competition?

[granite stump]

what was on the easier questions

like just topics

THERE"S TRIGONOMETRY???!!!

speek

[latent bough]

Bruh I took digital and my computer stopped working half thru 😭

[granite stump]

what topics

[latent bough]

Can’t talk till tmmtw on specifics

[granite stump]

ok

bruh

[versed jungle]

Would anyone here be interested in participating in an IMO - style contest?

[latent bough]

Sure

I’m dumb tho

[versed jungle]

Don't worry, there is a basic category and an advanced one

https://discord.gg/5ddWzhw5

[latent bough]

Cool

How hard is the basic tho

[versed jungle]

No theory is basically required

But the problems are not meant to be trivial

[latent bough]

How does it compare to aime

[versed jungle]

I do not live in the US, let me look up some questions and I'll compare the difficulty

[trim bramble]

bru i am NIR making aime

😝

back to grinding

[latent bough]

Wt NIR

[trim bramble]

😭

[latent bough]

Tell me pls

[latent bough]

Same tho

Is it not?

[trim bramble]

i just threw the rest and guessed random

[latent bough]

I’m tweaking now

[trim bramble]

🥺

[latent bough]

Dang

[versed jungle]

I would say the difficulty of each problem is slightly harder than the most difficult ones in the AIME, but you do have 4 hours for just 5 problems, whereas in the AIME I believe you have fewer time.

[latent bough]

I prolly got less than 10

[trim bramble]

i had higher on A so no real point in getting lower in B

so maybe i’ll guess

[latent bough]

💀 I just failed the AMC 10

[trim bramble]

bro i learned my friends boyfriend got a 12 on the 10a

[latent bough]

Oh hell no

That’s me on 10a ngl

[trim bramble]

yea yea

[latent bough]

Idk what my score was but I got like 2 correct

[trim bramble]

i had a 72 on the 10a

maybe i’ll do better than that if i get lucky with guessed

[latent bough]

I had like 1 massive silly on the 10b that wasted like 20 min for nothing

I’m actually crashing out rn

[trim bramble]

bro i just like

frogor

[latent bough]

Same

I spent too much time on problems before so my brain was tweaking

[trim bramble]

😭

samesies

[granite stump]

bruh

is the amc10b hard on probability and geometry?

[trim bramble]

who know

[latent bough]

Tryna sweep next year trust

[trim bramble]

it’s hard on partial derivative

[trim bramble]

i have to take 12 next year

[latent bough]

Lmao 🤣

[trim bramble]

i’m gonna die

i may start a math club at my school and we can all learn together

🥰🥰🥰

[granite stump]

what iss the amc10b mainly comprised of

algebra

geometry

[trim bramble]

maru

math

[granite stump]

combinitoricss

[latent bough]

Watch me spend like hours a day grinding for the next year, drop all my grades, and then fail tf on the amc

[trim bramble]

😭😭

[granite stump]

bruh

[celest dome]

thats what life is about

[latent bough]

Gonna buy mont, egmo, a combinatorics book, plus like all the aops ones 💀💀💀

Locking in

Gonna make a spreadsheet for practice tests too

[trim bramble]

boutta go threw all my wood books

aops

need them badics

basics down

[versed jungle]

Those are the good ones

[trim bramble]

and just to see a lot more practice problems

especially in geometry

[latent bough]

I’m also reading how to solve it by polya

It’s pretty good

[trim bramble]

is it like a read read

or read and solve

[versed jungle]

Also read Engel

[latent bough]

Idk how to describe

[versed jungle]

The first 5 chapters

[latent bough]

Not really how to read and solve

[granite stump]

dam i might be cooked

[latent bough]

What’s it called?

I feel like I’ve heard of Engel

[versed jungle]

Problem solving strategies

By Arthur Engel

its a classic

[trim bramble]

what’s it about

i’m guessing something mathy

[latent bough]

Boutta be broke 😁

[trim bramble]

is it like a read

[versed jungle]

Its generic math olympiad problems, focused on combinatorics

[granite stump]

ok

[trim bramble]

like before bed i can read

like theory

or like

application

[sturdy viper]

Bro wtf i sold so hard

I guessed

[trim bramble]

cause i do need a personal reading book

[sturdy viper]

I got at least 3 wrong

[trim bramble]

same

[sturdy viper]

Shi

[latent bough]

I think I need to do aops books before mont and egmo tho

[granite stump]

@sturdy viper

what topics

on the 10b

[sturdy viper]

Bro I cant tell U

It wouldnt help anyway

[granite stump]

is it hard on combo and geometry

[trim bramble]

here we go

[sturdy viper]

Topics doesnt matter

[trim bramble]

😭

[granite stump]

it does

[latent bough]

I have that

[sturdy viper]

@trim bramble how many u attempt

And how many u guess

[trim bramble]

not enough

[granite stump]

bcuz i might be cooked if it has a lot of geometry

a lot of diagrams and such

[trim bramble]

idk

[latent bough]

I have NT and geo book rn

[granite stump]

or even trig

[latent bough]

They’re so long tho I swear

[trim bramble]

this geo one is REALLTA LONG

[latent bough]

Idk how to study them properly

[latent bough]

Exactly

Cause like Ik some stuff and not some other stuff

[trim bramble]

maybe i’ll bang it out over the next few months

[trim bramble]

i just need the problems

i’ll spend like 15-30 min per day or smth

[versed jungle]

You have to take it one problem at a time.

[latent bough]

I need all of it 🤣

[trim bramble]

it’s 500 pages oml

[latent bough]

In gonna try to grind like an hour a day

And like 7-8 on weekends

My grades are cooked

[sturdy viper]

...

Whats prediction aIME qual for 10b

[trim bramble]

here we go

[sturdy viper]

Bro there is no way ur qualing if u just started this book

[latent bough]

Maybe like 115? Idk

[versed jungle]

in the US it is like impossible to get to the USAMO, right?

[latent bough]

It’s really hard

AMC 12 to aime to usando

[sturdy viper]

Bro wtf 115?

How

It was harder than 10a

[latent bough]

Idk I’m stupid

I can’t make predictions I’m tweaking

I just took the test my brains gone

[trim bramble]

i did the online class

jus don’t the book

[sturdy viper]

How many did u attempt

[trim bramble]

13?

🤷‍♂️

i forgot some things and had to brute force

[sturdy viper]

BRO

[latent bough]

Like 9 I spent like a third of the time on one easy problem because of a stupid silly

[sturdy viper]

💀

Ur joking

[trim bramble]

😝

[trim bramble]

nah

[sturdy viper]

Its over for you

U should have guessed

[trim bramble]

oh

i guessed on all of them

[latent bough]

And then my computer stopped working halfway 💀

[trim bramble]

cause my 10a score would’ve been better

[sturdy viper]

💀

[trim bramble]

just guess D 13 times

😝

[sturdy viper]

Bro UR cooked

I guessed and got some wron

I hope i didnt throw

[trim bramble]

it’s whatever

[latent bough]

I sold so hard on one problem

I just had a massive silly and then everything I did Fromm then on was wrong

[trim bramble]

gg

it happens

[latent bough]

Im gonna sweat thru the NT aops book this month

And then try mont but it might be too hard

Then geometry and egmo

And then combi aops and not sure what book

[sturdy viper]

.////

[latent bough]

Trust I’m sweeping 10 next year

[deep willow]

my brother thinks around 100

[latent bough]

Wtf it was def harder than that

100 is incredibly low

[sturdy viper]

Bro tf U saying

if it was harder than it should be lower

[sturdy viper]

Did u take B?

[latent bough]

Wait I’m tweaking again

[sturdy viper]

How many did U attempt

[vestal yacht]

Terribly written test

I did good tho 😎

[plain jacinth]

What do u think u got

[latent bough]

Around 45 trust 🥲

[plain jacinth]

Dang

[latent bough]

I’m tweaking so hard rn

[plain jacinth]

I think I got 100+

[latent bough]

I spent a third of the time crunching incorrect numbers because I started with a sillly

[plain jacinth]

I felt good about this

[latent bough]

Nice

[plain jacinth]

def harder but I knew it

[latent bough]

How many did u answer

[plain jacinth]

20

[latent bough]

Dang

[plain jacinth]

I skipped like 2 from the first 15

[latent bough]

Teach me your ways 🙏

[plain jacinth]

Idk why they were so weird

[latent bough]

I answered prolly less than 10

Hence the 45 score

[plain jacinth]

.

[vestal yacht]

??? Dafuq

[latent bough]

We can’t talk specifics until tmmtw

[vestal yacht]

Was that on 10

I took 12

[latent bough]

Other places still taking

[plain jacinth]

Yeah mb

[vestal yacht]

U right

[plain jacinth]

I took 10b

[latent bough]

All good

[sturdy viper]

.

u attempted 20

[plain jacinth]

No but there were some from the beginning that I felt like I should have gotten

[sturdy viper]

Bro misplaced ahh test

[latent bough]

Also idk how but I think I got one of the last questions right

[plain jacinth]

Some of the end problems were lowkey easy asl

[sturdy viper]

Yea

I shoulda attempted

[latent bough]

It was easier than some of the first five for me 💀

[sturdy viper]

Im a fool

A fat Fool

[sturdy viper]

Nah ur tweaking

💀

[latent bough]

I am tho

Also I think the digital might shuffle some problems around

[vestal yacht]

Ong bro 10-20 had so many free problems

[plain jacinth]

Nah bro

[vestal yacht]

1-10 took me a good 30 minutes 💀

[sturdy viper]

💀

10-20 tok me a good 45 mins

[plain jacinth]

Bro 5-15 were so difficult for some reason

[sturdy viper]

I didnt even finish

[vestal yacht]

Is that not good

Thats supa good

[sturdy viper]

I didnt even finish

[vestal yacht]

For my standards

[sturdy viper]

Im stpid

[vestal yacht]

Yeah stop flexing bro 😔

[sturdy viper]

Which questions did u attempt

[vestal yacht]

😒

[sturdy viper]

Bro I guessed 6

LOOOOL

[plain jacinth]

Also you took the 12 and we could have started studying for amc way longer. Don’t compare your probaly reallly smart

[reef condor]

Pls be quiet y’all

[plain jacinth]

Alr

[radiant jasper]

Bro amc 10 a was leaked?

Some guy in my school had the pdf file before the test

[raven crown]

its always leaked

just how much it's leaked varies each year

way better than llast year

[radiant jasper]

Whos leaking the paper tho

Apparently the leaker was chinese? From what i saw?

[raven crown]

duh

some guy selling on some chinese website always

[sturdy viper]

Bruh Lol

[raven crown]

probally idk

[radiant jasper]

Tf

How do they even get the pdf file

[vestal yacht]

bribe proctor

[radiant jasper]

Do they work for aops or

[vestal yacht]

its not hard

[raven crown]

or just like

idk take a picture of a test 💀

and turn it into a pdf or smth it aint that hard

[sturdy viper]

Bruh

[radiant jasper]

Oh

[vestal yacht]

they should make it fully online with your screen being locked

and proctor just has a code that students enter

proctor doesnt get pdf

[raven crown]

and you can still take a picture ...

so like

[vestal yacht]

well theres just no way to stop that 🤷

but it makes the cheating window much lower at least

[radiant jasper]

Bruh

The pdf he had was half mixed with the previous year

Idk why

[raven crown]

so its not real ...

💀

[radiant jasper]

No but half were from this year

[vestal yacht]

was it for the a

[radiant jasper]

Yeah

[vestal yacht]

thats weird

[surreal willow]

I took the amc 10b today chat

Me feeling :/

[sturdy viper]

Bro I sold mad hard

[ruby egret]

guys am i cooked

i have the test in a hour

[tame burrow]

I HAVE IT Now

†

[plain jacinth]

How do yk

[plain jacinth]

GL

[surreal willow]

Idk man

U may get good grade when the results come

[sturdy viper]

Nah i know i failed

[radiant jasper]

He showed

[plain jacinth]

dang

Hopefully It wont skew aime qual and dhr

[radiant jasper]

He did worse than me so

But its shocking how these chinese community are leaking the papers

[plain moon]

wait chinese ppl again this year?

[pallid tundra]

is it even a surprise anymore

MAA’s “test security” infrastructure is held together by duct tape and wishful thinking

[vestal yacht]

How do you have the answers and do worse ???

[radiant jasper]

App he says he didnt look at the pdf file but

He prob didnt have time to try the questions because he got the file right before the test began

[radiant jasper]

I just digged some chinese websites and apparently yeah they leak the paper every year

they sell it

[median mantle]

anybody take 12b

[short umbra]

just took the 10b 😭

[surreal willow]

Wait what???

[surreal willow]

How’d it go?

[short umbra]

i did like 20 questions

[surreal willow]

I did like 21

[short umbra]

niceeeee

[surreal willow]

Nah it was actually unplanned

I planned to do twenty

But like I accidentally done another one :/

[short umbra]

accidnetally?

*accidentally

😭

[surreal willow]

Yes when I was filling in the questions

[short umbra]

uh oh

random answer?

[surreal willow]

At the end of the test when they allow u to do answers but not see the test

[surreal willow]

Yea

[short umbra]

u have a 1/5 chance still lol

[surreal willow]

I know 😭

Well how did u think u did?

[short umbra]

100+

most likely

wbu?

[surreal willow]

Real?

[short umbra]

yep

[surreal willow]

Ur confident

Idk

[short umbra]

lol not confident

[surreal willow]

This is my first time taking it

[short umbra]

i took it in 8th

we don't talk about how i did then.....

[surreal willow]

I mean amc 10 is for 9th and 10th graders so there’s nothing to be ashamed about

[short umbra]

you're in 9th then?

[surreal willow]

Ye

[short umbra]

me too!

[surreal willow]

Yo nice

R u Asian?

[short umbra]

yeah

why 😢

[surreal willow]

We should be friends lol

[short umbra]

sure

[surreal willow]

Bc u take math competition

[short umbra]

😭 😭

[surreal willow]

Don’t worry me too

[short umbra]

at my testing center everyone was chinese

[plain jacinth]

bro what💀

“Are u asian” is crazy

[surreal willow]

At my test center there was three ppl there including me

[trim bramble]

i’m not

so maybe one person here isn’t asian but like

😐

[radiant jasper]

howww

i suck

i did 17\

[surreal willow]

I made some educated guesses lol

[radiant jasper]

yall the leaks are going everywhere

[deep willow]

i took 12

[deep willow]

if it was hard wouldnt it be lower

[deep willow]

usually doesnt matter

like 1000 out of 50,000

and those ppl that have access prob are likely to be dedicated to it so they wont swing any cutoffs by a huge margin

[latent bough]

same

[latent bough]

and yes im tweaking

[karmic marten]

same

[jaunty orchid]

how was the b

[modern prawn]

guys not trying to leak was the 10b hard

as the 10a

[jaunty orchid]

my proctor started raging

he was like "i aint being paid for this" "I got better things to be doing"

[plain jacinth]

For me, yes

[jaunty orchid]

chat academic integrity goes crzy at this moment

[reef condor]

Trying not to leak while leaking goes crazy

[modern prawn]

idk i didnt even take the 10b

[latent bough]

ok

[plain jacinth]

What we doing chat?

Stop clip farming ✋

[plain moon]

Ahhhhh I only did 12 on 12b, I hope I got them all right

[untold thunder]

Does anyone have a Diabolically accurate quota for AMC 10a?

10b*

[red trail]

bro some kid was so mad cuz he only fot 24/25 on 12b

[plain moon]

Bro wtf

https://tenor.com/view/saitama-one-punch-man-manga-anime-kmtnewsman-gif-11511868967346566096

[untold thunder]

Bro definitely consumes minimum five wood tables a day

[plain moon]

“Some” is crazy

[untold thunder]

I know he washing it down with motor oil

[plain moon]

Wait is everyone done with the test

[red trail]

hes like the most sterotypical chinese person iknwo

[sturdy viper]

😭

bro im sad

i failed

[ruby egret]

I answered 16 am I cooked

[sturdy viper]

Depends on if u got em correct

[modern prawn]

I should of guessed every question on the amc 10 and get a 120

meta strategy

[sturdy viper]

I should have guessed more

Ima fool

[soft vigil]

maybe you shouldnt discus

[plain moon]

def enough for aime if you get them right

[sturdy viper]

Bro

💀

I attempted 19

but got 4 wrong

[modern prawn]

how so good

[sturdy viper]

Its officially over

[plain moon]

Wait how do you know?

[sturdy viper]

Oh shoot wait

I got 5 wrong

😭

[modern prawn]

I got my score the day after the amc

[sturdy viper]

I am very cOooked

[plain moon]

Same bro, just gotta hope for the best at this point

[soft vigil]

...

i feel fortunate ocmapred to yall

[plain moon]

Yeah bc you did well

[sturdy viper]

Bro I m cooked

😭

😭

[modern prawn]

Bro wdym

14 questions correct is good

[plain moon]

How’d you do on a

[plain moon]

Yeah but 5 wrongs tho

[modern prawn]

So a 84 + 9 = 93

[plain moon]

That might not be enough for 10

If he’s taking 10

[soft vigil]

...

[modern prawn]

What

[soft vigil]

14 questions correct...

[vestal yacht]

thats usually not enough to qual for 10

only wouldve quald for 2022

[soft vigil]

💀

[vestal yacht]

yea

i took the 12 so idk bout difficulty but i thought it was aight

[modern prawn]

wait what was 2022 aime qual

[vestal yacht]

93

[soft vigil]

what

no way it was 93

[vestal yacht]

yea it was the lowest ever

[soft vigil]

rly?

[vestal yacht]

ye

[soft vigil]

i remember not doing too bad on it

118.5 that year

and 118.5 the next year too

i think it was just 2022 10b

[vestal yacht]

im pretty sure it was the 2022 a

[modern prawn]

bro what

why is the amc 12a so hard

[vestal yacht]

i took it in 7th grade

[vestal yacht]

bro fr

[modern prawn]

i’ve only seen amc 12 problems once but i forgot

[vestal yacht]

i took 10a but i looked at 12a and it was so freaking hard

[modern prawn]

what is that quesiton 8 and 10 bro

[vestal yacht]

10a was ez

[modern prawn]

amc 12a was so hard

[vestal yacht]

12a was super hard

[modern prawn]

what the heck

[plain moon]

11, 12 and 14 on 12a corresponds to 18, 19 and 21 on 10a

[modern prawn]

bro what is that 8th question i cant even comprehend

[radiant jasper]

Is anyone taking the waterloo contest tmrw

[plain moon]

That’s actually insane tbh

[radiant jasper]

you can take both sides to the power of e

it should simplify the problem a little

[plain moon]

8 and 10 are actually not bad

[ruby egret]

Anyone wanna discuss problems in dms

[radiant jasper]

are we even allowed to?

[ruby egret]

I think everyone is done right?

[plain moon]

I think everyone is done fs in 2 hours

[vestal yacht]

wait for 8 AM est tmr

[ruby egret]

Oh alr

[vestal yacht]

cuz international test takers

[ruby egret]

I’m acc so nervous for results

[plain moon]

Same

[ruby egret]

I think I can qual

[vestal yacht]

already did good enough on the a

hoping I guessed a bucnh right

bro i litterly solved a poroblem like 10 seconds after my time ended 😮‍💨

[ornate blade]

it's not bad

problem 8 for example, log(sin 3 theta) = log(1/(cos 2 theta)) by log rules

sin 3 theta = sec 2 theta

pretty standard for AMC 12

[plain moon]

I think 8 can be solved as long as you know basic rules

For log and trig

But I silly that one

[ornate blade]

yeah then the next step is a big sully, basically note the range of the LHS and the RHS

sec theta can't have y in (-1, 1)

basically you need to check if sin(3 theta) = sec(2 theta) = 1

[karmic rune]

cant have -1, theres a log as well

[plain moon]

Yeah I considered log(-1)=log(-1) as a valid answer

[ornate blade]

yeah tripped up there

9 and 10 are easier lol

2560 = m^2 - n^2 = (m + n)(m - n)

[plain moon]

10 is like a 1min question

If you know how to do it

[karmic rune]

24=2*3*4 and then its ez

[vague temple]

Oh wait what

I just did sin(2theta)cos(3theta)=1

And applied casework and showed the 1s do not correspond

1 = Either 1 times 1. Or -1 times -1

Answer 0

[ornate blade]

sin(B) = 24/25 = 2 * 3/5 * 4/5

according to AoPS yeah

wouldn't have seen that

[vague temple]

Yeah 10 was just impossible

[ornate blade]

I did think of complex numbers

and it works

[vague temple]

Except if you knew (4+3i)^2 = (7+24i) somehow

Then it becomes trivial

[plain moon]

10 just try tan(a+b)

[vague temple]

90% of AMC questions are designed this way

[plain moon]

Or sin(a+b)

[ornate blade]

yes

[vague temple]

If you know the intended solution you can solve trivially in 1 min

Otherwise it’s like 10min bash

[plain moon]

Fr

Experiences are so important in amc

You can’t rlly out smart the exam

[karmic rune]

Wow, the test designed to filter the smart maths minds is easy if you know the smart solutions to the problems 🤯

[vague temple]

Yes proof by knowing the answer

Always remember guys

The fastest way to solve a problem is to know the answer

[karmic rune]

Ok this is ridiculous

[vague temple]

Just memorize every value from cos 1 degree to 90

[ornate blade]

reminds me of academic declathon or history bee and bowl

where the test is literally to cram as much info in your brain as you can

[plain moon]

Is this solution for 17

[ornate blade]

like in movies when they ask about obscure historical events

[plain moon]

I was wondering if you can just bash 17 by actually drawing out the rectangle

[vague temple]

I think so

[plain moon]

Since the answer choices are all quite small

[ornate blade]

and then justify it by saying, oh this has a tangential connection with Louis the Sun King

Louis the Sun King was a super important person

[vague temple]

Yes you can that is one of the solutions

[ornate blade]

no it's only important to European history my ass

[vague temple]

You get 6

[plain moon]

Dang

[vague temple]

Proof by measuring on paper

[plain moon]

I was to scare to do that during the test

[vague temple]

I didn’t take A

[soft vigil]

wth

insanity

[vague temple]

I tried measuring for the right angle 3-4-5 question

But it was too close

[soft vigil]

which q is this

[ornate blade]

how so?

[vague temple]

They are taking 10

[plain moon]

12a 17

[ornate blade]

12a 18

[plain moon]

Ohhhh mb

[ornate blade]

https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/2024_AMC_12A_Problems/Problem_18

[soft vigil]

oh hell nah

wtf were they doing on 12a

[vague temple]

I don’t know if it’s to scale

If not just draw and measure the angle

[soft vigil]

lowk doesnt look bad tho

[karmic rune]

Projection of the line AB becomes incrementally tilted as the number of rectangles increases. So, its like 2+sqrt3 = sinA + sin2A + ... + sinmA, and there is simple formula for this sum

[plain moon]

It doesn’t matter

[karmic rune]

At least thats how I'd do it

[plain moon]

Bc the side lengths are given

[vague temple]

Yes I mean if you have to redraw or not

[plain moon]

Ohhh I see

But ig it’s not hard to draw a rectangle

[vague temple]

Oh wow interesting, what is the sum identity

[misty abyss]

when does amc 12b results come out?

yall think this year curve gonna be generous

i only did 11 but im confident in all 11 💀

[plain moon]

Wait can we discuss

[ornate blade]

yeah like if you only do 11 in AMC 10 that's unthinkable

[plain moon]

I did 12 questions

[misty abyss]

can we?

[ornate blade]

I really think that AMC 12 is a huge barrier for so many students

[plain moon]

But not confident with all of them

[misty abyss]

i mean in dms we can

[ornate blade]

the UK's SMC for the same grade level is like AMC 10 difficulty

as in just as creative but solutions aren't as long

[ornate coyote]

sup

[modern prawn]

im dumb

[ornate coyote]

nuh uh

[modern prawn]

yuh buh

[ornate coyote]

did you take the amc10 this year?

[modern prawn]

lets not talk about it (my score sucks)

[soft vigil]

talk tuah

[ornate coyote]

i think i did decent on the amc10a

it was pretty easy for an amc

10

so i feel like the cutoff will be higher

[modern prawn]

first time i Heard someone say that

[soft vigil]

not compared to last year

hmm

[ornate coyote]

hm?

[soft vigil]

i mean it was harder than 10a

[ornate coyote]

why would it be lower than last year

[soft vigil]

but not too much

[soft vigil]

pretty easy -> higher than last year makes no sense

last year was also pretty easy

compared to 2022

[ornate coyote]

i mean like

it thoought it was easier than last year

[radiant jasper]

[ornate coyote]

[marble grove]

[marble grove]

[ornate blade]

Luke Robitaille is the next most mentioned name on this server istg

after Terry Tao

[swift imp]

Wow

[swift imp]

What was 24

I did 12v

[marble grove]

this guy?

[sturdy viper]

BRO THATS WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SEND

🤣

[swift imp]

The goat

Goat

[marble grove]

lol

[sturdy viper]

Bro this guy looks so weird

[marble grove]

shut up

[swift imp]

Ik someone at mit

[ruby egret]

What race is he

[marble grove]

talk about him when you are a genuis

[swift imp]

He said Luke was singing Minecraft songs one time in dorm

[sturdy viper]

Talk to me hwen u get gold medal in imo

[marble grove]

isn't mit not that impressive

this guy named raymond or sum made it he was a genius but like

[ornate blade]

hai

[radiant jasper]

it aint fair

he was home schooled

[ornate blade]

はい

[ornate blade]

yeah like he's from our generation kiddo

[marble grove]

OMG THAT WAS U????

[ornate blade]

what?

[marble grove]

r u robichaud

luke robichaud

robitsille

[ornate blade]

bruh why would anyone think that

[marble grove]

cuz u said hi to the image of u

[ornate blade]

no I said hai

yes in Japanese

that is him

[marble grove]

responding to the image in you

oh

bruh

[swift imp]

Also the person that said that

Was Mexican

Not Asian

[marble grove]

o

gang mit looks like the white house

[swift imp]

It’s hella impressive to ngo to mit

[ornate blade]

https://blog.evanchen.cc/2024/04/05/grief/#fnrefresearch

the problem is that people do things only to impress others

[marble grove]

dang thats deep

but I have asian parents so oh well

[ornate blade]

I'm also Asian and didn't grow up in a Western country

the truth is that there are a lot of kinds of Asian parents

some more progressive than others of course

[marble grove]

i dont get it like my friend has asian parents but they dont care abt him and he has like c's and b's

[ornate blade]

a surprising amount of Asian parents nowadays are fine with their kids deciding what they want to do in life

[ornate blade]

I think the Cultural Revolution played a big role

[marble grove]

my goal is to have like 5 kids and plan a major for all of them

[ornate blade]

cause you literally had to work in the countryside instead of getting an education

[marble grove]

ig

[ornate blade]

a lot of Asian people have Chinese background by sheer numbers

[marble grove]

i think like 3rd gen kids dont get that much pressure

but im 2nd gen

or sum

my parents came from china

so i get pressured to do good

[ornate blade]

also like in the West it was the case 20, 30 years ago that a lot of Western parents didn't encourage their kids to do well in school

[marble grove]

alr

[ornate blade]

it's changed since then cause the world has gotten more stressful

[marble grove]

it was nice talking to you but I gotta stop procrastinating

yeah

[ornate blade]

but yeah maybe some people regret not studying harder, very possible

np alright see ya

[marble grove]

I feel job competition is rlly high too

like before just a normal job payed decently well

ok bye

[deep willow]

ur fine i only got 18 right

[deep willow]

u substitution

[ornate blade]

that's a different level of skill my man

[deep willow]

j precalc

[ornate blade]

if they answered 16 maybe they only got 10 right

[ruby egret]

wdym "only 18"

thats hella good

[soft vigil]

no

thats not his discord

i dont think hes in this server

[ornate blade]

yeah there's zero need for him to hang around with us normies

[soft vigil]

hmm

i dont think he really uses discord

[ornate blade]

at Luke's age he's interested in research if you want to talk about maths

[soft vigil]

ye

[ornate blade]

and then he'd probably want to switch off from maths in his spare time

so absolutely not this server

you'd have to know what Luke does in his spare time lmao

[ornate coyote]

im prepping for aime so hard rn

[sturdy viper]

[swift imp]

Overrated

Just use Aops community

[marble grove]

idk cuz I just spent one day studying the 2023 10b questions

[swift imp]

And find problems that look interesting

[marble grove]

ima do that r

n

[ornate coyote]

getting 150 is so hard

[marble grove]

i cant find it

[ornate coyote]

aops community is goated

[marble grove]

its just elementary geo and algebra

bruh i cant find it

[ornate coyote]

this year it was

💀

[marble grove]

first thing that pops up is the freaking roblox thing

[swift imp]

It’s hard to get 150 tho

My silver medal amo got a 127.5

[marble grove]

Elementary algebra
Basic geometry, including the Pythagorean Theorem, area, and volume formulas
Elementary number theory
Elementary probability

[swift imp]

Other friend got a 117

[ornate coyote]

what grade?

[swift imp]

Elementary is very vague

[ornate coyote]

and what year

[swift imp]

11 and 12

[marble grove]

[ornate coyote]

cause you still got like

aime

[swift imp]

Asian school

My school is 75% non Asian minority

[ornate coyote]

my school is asian but no math kids

[main flare]

i learnt integration when i was grade 9

[plain moon]

Mine has a jmo and amo qual

[swift imp]

Integration is easy

To learn

[plain moon]

Fair enough

[ornate coyote]

should i learn calculus

[main flare]

yap yap cap cap

[swift imp]

If ya want

[ornate coyote]

ive kind of been putting it off instead doing the aime

prep stuff

[swift imp]

Integration is easy tho

[main flare]

i learnt it from the back of a milk carton

[swift imp]

Fr

[swift imp]

I learnt from Wikipedia

[plain moon]

But integration can be hard tho

[swift imp]

Yea

[plain moon]

It’s not like derivative

[ornate coyote]

i learned all my initial math skills by making them myself by taking so many amc8 practices

[swift imp]

Me when everything contest math

Theory: easy
Problem :

[plain moon]

Yep

[marble grove]

guys

can someone tell me how to apply stars and bars

[swift imp]

Find problems

[marble grove]

i did

[ornate coyote]

should i try to get jmo or mathcounts national

[marble grove]

but like they used it in different ways

[swift imp]

Bro found the theory

Now apply it

Creatively

[swift imp]

Jmo

[ornate coyote]

counting/probability is so creative

wow

[swift imp]

Ikr

Geometry is math but drawing

[marble grove]

geo is easy

[ornate coyote]

NO

i hate geo

[swift imp]

No it’s not

School geo is

[marble grove]

the amc 10 questions are easy for geo

[swift imp]

Contest geo is

[ornate coyote]

suffering

pure suffering

[swift imp]

Ikr

[marble grove]

bro stats is so bad

[ornate coyote]

amc10 this year geometry was very easy

[marble grove]

i hate stats

[ornate coyote]

only reason i got a good score

[marble grove]

wait can we talk abt the qustion but not how to solve it

wait nvm
