[inland totem]

hmmm

makes sense

now go solve it

[daring sparrow]

[thorny tusk]

idk. 2?

[inland totem]

wait i js remembered today is the last day to revive my broken hard derivative streak

[thorny tusk]

.

[daring sparrow]

bro you’re in class 💀

ignore me im also in class

[thorny tusk]

wut

dam

bad bois

[fringe prism]

LOL

pov no school today or tmrw bc daylight savings

[inland totem]

aww i want school to be cancelled bc of daylight savings

[thorny tusk]

u skip school today?

[fringe prism]

not skip, canceled

[thorny tusk]

yea wat i meant

luckyy

[daring sparrow]

💀

[viral sierra]

Luckyyyy

[fringe prism]

frr

[stark ingot]

4, split to 4 4 4 1, compare first group to second, first group to third, and once you find the one that weighs differently, you compare 2 coins from weird group with 2 coins from a group that weighed normally and then you go to the other 2 which weighed weirdly and then scale against a coin that is normal if it is equal its the other one, if its not its that one

[daring sparrow]

wait it cant be 4

think about this

wait nvm im dumb 💀

3^4 = 81 > 26 lol

is there a solution with 3 comparisons tho? i think it may be possible since 27 > 26

[zinc ridge]

kenuienly?

[daring sparrow]

si

lowKIRKenuinely

[zinc ridge]

nah just measure all of them

then take away the counterfeit

wow

simple as that

[daring sparrow]

it's impossible to find the counterfeit in 2 moves since 9 < 13

you need at least 3 moves to find the counterfeit

[zinc ridge]

wait

hear me out

[daring sparrow]

is there any way to get extra info though

[zinc ridge]

measure 12 of them, then measure 1. now you know the weight of 1. yay.

ok what am i talking about

bye im going to bed

[daring sparrow]

buh

[stark ingot]

what is this math lol this doesnt mean anything??

[red wasp]

2

that is the minimum

assuming a lucky case

otherwise more

[red wasp]

true minimum is 2

[pliant siren]

Like yes , I do believe that.

[little wraith]

can’t we go to 1000 and then all the way down

[daring sparrow]

for each measure there's 3 different outcomes

if we do 4 measures we can have (at most) 3^4 = 81 outcomes

most likely we'll have less though

[severe eagle]

please be nice

[daring sparrow]

wait are you 13

susus

[bleak mango]

Wtf

[stark ingot]

wdym

[stark ingot]

How

[pallid dragon]

there are technically 2 solutions, or more

you can weigh 8 coins first, or 10

or 6

many degrees of freedom

even 4

oh I didn;t read the last part

huh

I guess it's still 3?

weigh 8 coins

then any 4

no hm

[plain quail]

This probably isn't what it wants, but with luck you could weigh 6 on one side and 6 on the other, and If they are identical than the remaining one is the counterfeit. I assume they mean minimum with no luck required lol.

If one of the 2 groups is lighter than the other, you take that group of 6 and separate it to 2 3's, separate those 3 to 2 1's, maybe my logic's off but yeah, im just thinking about it.
(Haven't read other people's yet, this is just my own first thought)

I uh dont know how professional im supposed to be here

[pallid dragon]

I think it's not 3

[pallid dragon]

I'm pretty sure it's 4

[pallid dragon]

like this yeah

but there are many ways again

[pallid dragon]

i agree 6 6 1 seems optimal actually

like it's still 4 at worst, but it feels quicker somehow

[red wasp]

weight 6vs6 coins. If they come out even you know the last coin left is the counterfeit. Then simply replace one coin with counterfeit and see if it’s lighter or heavier

extremely lucky scenario obviously

but it is the true minimum

[stark ingot]

its asking for worse case time complexity

[inland totem]

i've seen this

oh ye on mo server

[glad adder]

you guys know there’s a ted ed on this problem

you can literally watch the solution

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE2dZLDJSjA

[inland totem]

ye i've watched this

[glad adder]

Obscure ted ed videos are also goated

[pallid dragon]

it almost works

we can find the fake coin, but we don't always know if it's heavier

[glad adder]

Wait you’re right

Dang i should’ve watched my own video bruh

so is it one more then?

[pallid dragon]

i mean if you extend it to 13

in the video the type is also determined i think

what if we do 5 5 3

so step 2 becomes ++000 <> --+++
then +0 <> -+

incredible if it works

[glad adder]

Wait will you please explain this notation

what does 5 5 3 mean?

(Also is it just one heavier coin?)

[pallid dragon]

step 1 is you weigh 10 coins, and mark +++++ and -----

and then you mix them

++000 > --+++ means it's one of ++ or --
++000 = --+++ means it's one of --- we didn't weigh
++000 < --+++ means it's in the +++

[glad adder]

There’s probably a way to simulate this in python, can’t be that many ways it can end up to be honest

[pallid dragon]

no idea how would you do that

[glad adder]

Hmm probably based on permutations of 10

[pallid dragon]

so we just need to figure out the first case ++--

[glad adder]

which is kinda peanuts to a normal computer

Assuming 11! for adding which one is biased, 39916800 is 11! which would be insane by hand but probably could be done

[pallid dragon]

-+ <> 0+ maybe no doesn't work

i don't understand what you mean

[glad adder]

Do you know how to code

I mean i do

Could verify this in ~15-20 minutes

!

Will be back with simulation results

@pallid dragon Small clarification, can coin be heavier or lighter? Or only one of them?

[pallid dragon]

it can be either, and we need to figure out that part as well

[glad adder]

interesting

so what’s the weighing order again?

have finished basic structur of program

[pallid dragon]

i'm angery don;t talk to me

[glad adder]

Ohk

Sorry

oh it up there

i’m stupid

[severe eagle]

uh yea

[rain parcel]

don't do too much

just do a light study/refresh before bed and pray you have an epiphany the same night

it works

[soft vigil]

if its tomorrow just get some rest

solve maybe a few problems but not too much time spent

[rain parcel]

I guess I need rest, the comp will be exhausting

[rain parcel]

anytime, and goodluck on your comp!

[fast atlas]

Thank you

[fast atlas]

What was your sol, ||Desargues on FNQ and PLE?||

[thin pumice]

do past tests and find patterns and guess which topics will be on the exam. continuously fo math. pray to god

[fast atlas]

Oh this test is unpredictable, it only has 2 topics each year

And each topic will be on its seperate day, 3 hours for each day

I'm hoping for G and C

I'm not as confident in A, and my weakest part is N

[thin pumice]

oh then good luckkkk hope u do well

[fast atlas]

I really pray the test will be about a topic I know well

[fringe prism]

Hi

[inland totem]

gl

also can i ask what the name of this comp is?

[inland totem]

woah

also this shouldn't be in this channel i think

[thin pumice]

hi

[fringe prism]

hi

[hollow lark]

what

could you explain it

[daring sparrow]

ts does NOT go in competition math 😭

[inland totem]

shouldn't go anywhere

[viral sierra]

Also, the fact that this was put into the comp math server makes me think that this person may not know what he is talking about

How is life?

[obsidian plank]

Good

Every day i search here for some number theory problems but it's always empty this chat

Who is the master of goon?

[viral sierra]

Read mont. It has good problems

[obsidian plank]

Ok thanks

[inland totem]

look at the math olympiad server

they have some good problems

[obsidian plank]

How can I get in?

[inland totem]

like you did with this server

[obsidian plank]

Ok thanks

[thorny tusk]

mods pls dont ban me 😭

[severe eagle]

no, i noted ||aipq collinear|| and ||reflection about line ai||

[fast atlas]

Oh i overcomplicated that lol

Where was that question from?

[severe eagle]

Final Korea MO q4

forgot which yesr

i think 2021 or smth

[wraith oracle]

Hey guys. Can anyone teach me math competition?

[fringe prism]

Hallo friend

[thorny tusk]

a competition math teacher can

[daring sparrow]

wow!

[daring sparrow]

basically you need to solve the problem .

[fringe prism]

on rral

[thorny tusk]

wow

[daring sparrow]

those who solve the problem and get it right 💀

[viral sierra]

So basically you just make imo and the rest will come easily

[daring sparrow]

yeah 🔥

[blissful tulip]

Those who goon to Evan Chen 💀

[daring sparrow]

wtf

sob

[fringe prism]

LOl

[fast atlas]

Damn I'm kinda cooked

I think i got around 9/35

Brutal test

There were multiple cameras and mics in the room, literally tens of people watching me both offline and online

I'll roughly translate the questions and share here I guess

[thorny tusk]

for what

cmo?

[fast atlas]

No, i'm from Vietnam

It's a national-level comp organized by Vietnam's Mathethematics Society (a big organization of Vietnam's best mathematicians)

It has one for highschool and one for university

I'm in highschool

[thorny tusk]

is it for imo team

[fringe prism]

RIP

[thorny tusk]

coool

[fast atlas]

No this is seperate from the TST

ChatGPT seems so bad at translating math terms, i guess i will have to translate this myself

[thorny tusk]

o ok

[fringe prism]

O

[fast atlas]

The problems in A were easy but I couldn't solve much more than that

3hrs of time in total, so 18min/question on average if you wanna complete the whole thing.

I couldn't correctly recall Hermite's identity, which would have been useful I think

[fast atlas]

Problem 9 seems to be Wythoff's game of Nim

[fast atlas]

Yeah I figured after trying, I translated all the questions above by myself

[dry quartz]

anyone know how i'd do this

looks to be a mean inequality problem

[cobalt jetty]

what is this

[swift imp]

which year imosl

[dry quartz]

2024

[heavy dome]

does anyone know how a non base 10 number would work

like what would 125 be in base 6

[ruby nexus]

hope this helps

[mighty pine]

i saw a similar problem regarding this

but it was for a maximum

it ended up as sums of 2 and 3

let me think

<@&268886789983436800> this generous man is going to destroy the ecoonomy

[leaden gorge]

this is my work

[ashen hatch]

simplest would be base 8, 2, 16. but the place values go from right to left from 6^0 to 6^1 etc.... so go up until you find the smallest value less than 125, then see how many "fits" there and such... and you can use this general strat for base anything

[inland totem]

hmm

[rugged pulsar]

Hello! Can someone advise me upon how to prepare for math olympiad? Like should I get some samples and try solving them and if I dont know how to solve the exercises do I ask an AI for an idea upon solving the exercise?

Or do I firstly search up what i need to study and then read documentaries and then solve easier exercises first?

[dull zenith]

I’m a bit Struggling, can someone explain this to me * video *

[daring sparrow]

solve them problems

also

can sm1 help me with this g8 contest question? i keep getting 96 and theres smth wrong

only a is possible but thats obv wrong

[tiny eagle]

Um

Question might be wrong..

[radiant shoal]

question is wrong

[fringe prism]

OOL

[radiant shoal]

unless it wants exterior angles?

but that wouldnt be possible either

[thin pumice]

ok tysmmm

[thin pumice]

exactly, unless they accidentally put 360 degrees as sum or else its wrong. which is wrong

[fringe prism]

LOL

[thorny tusk]

wat.

[inland totem]

hmm

[tawny sorrel]

what is a reasonable rank/score to aim for on putnam during my freshman year? my only experience is 2x aime qual, vector calc, and studying real analysis rn

[inland totem]

doing real analysis at this age is insane - maybe like a 10-20

[zinc ridge]

id say a 1

rank

[tawny sorrel]

idk i feel kind of behind in math

i feel like just starting real analysis as a high school senior might actually hurt me

[zinc ridge]

maybe a 112 score

[tawny sorrel]

and ive heard horror stories of ppl who did rlly well in high school comps not getting 10

[zinc ridge]

try aiminf for that

[tawny sorrel]

💀

[inland totem]

get a 120

[tawny sorrel]

lowk if i go into solitary confinement

and do nothing but study 24 hours a day for the next 4 years

[inland totem]

hmmm

[frank hornet]

lol I only know 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288...

[viral sierra]

just break the system and get a 200

[viral sierra]

In general, don't really worry abt rank/score. In general, there isn't a general score you should aim for, since the test will always vary in difficulty, so just try your best.

[inland totem]

hmmmmm

[fringe prism]

on rral

[low harness]

My teachwr wants me to start learning comp maths where do i start with number theorum if ive never rlly done it b4

[zinc ridge]

try aops alcumus

or maybe dive into certain topics

such as gcf, lcm, euclidean algorithm, prime numbers, number of factors, sum/product of factors, mod power cycles, divisibility rules

and if u get comfortable with that

move to harder topics

like modular arithmetic, diophantine equations, cool identities

[low harness]

Alr thanks🙏

[thorny tusk]

If i make and publish a theorem stating all math competition proofs are statistically always correct can i use it in a math competition 😭

[fast atlas]

Here's the test I took today, wanted to share

[severe eagle]

whats freshman in age

15 year old with 2x aime qual is not too bad

doing ra might be a bad idea because it takes your time away from olympiads

but keep in mind i am very sweaty and two years younger than you so my pov might be a bit cooked

[eager wedge]

Hello

[inland totem]

hmmm

[bold tendon]

nice profile pic

[sturdy knoll]

arent they okder

arent they in freshman year of college whoch is typically 18 ish

[severe eagle]

oh i dont know

[viral sierra]

Prolly since he said he started real analysis as a senior

[inland totem]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-group-chat-gif-24956654

[inland totem]

ooh modular inverses

[fringe prism]

hi friend

[restive tree]

anyone doing amc 10

[tight sphinx]

hello! sorry for the maybe offtopic question but is anyone down to read my ~10 page shortbook about modular arithmetic and give some feedback on it?

[rancid horizon]

whatt 😭 i still don’t understand how someone can do all that at like 14. from what age did you even start

[viral sierra]

I fell like I should prolly js start grinding alr, so i will even have a non zero chance at jmoing

[stark ingot]

can anyone give me a difficult imo algebra problem

or diophantine

[inland totem]

the 1988 imo p6 is pretty famous

[zinc ridge]

answer is yes

[fringe prism]

XDD

[finite summit]

í was trying to learn and prepare for national olympiad and was stuck on a very easy problem ... i calcuted (1/3) * (3/2) = as 4/6 how cooked is it

[thorny tusk]

was it the very last step

[finite summit]

second last

[thorny tusk]

was last also a simple calculation

[finite summit]

yea root of 81

[thorny tusk]

well prolly not many marks off then cuz the main idea is prolly right

not that cooked ig

[finite summit]

its no marks off its jsut practice

prepartion

[thorny tusk]

ohhh

[finite summit]

its all fine but its like me in an exam acing it and losing points for forgetting multiplication before addition

[thorny tusk]

sad

[finite summit]

but ngl these prepartation question really shows me how bad the education system of germany is

anyway happens

[thorny tusk]

u got into germany mo?

[finite summit]

its like part of it but not the actual olympiad

[thorny tusk]

eh

?

so

the comp before national mo?

[finite summit]

yea i think so

[thorny tusk]

o dam

so late

i alr finished the national mo

*my country

[silver forge]

imo is tuff

[finite summit]

idk how they connected i just show up where i need to be but the national olympiad is currently at the state stage and in like june its at natinal stage

[thorny tusk]

o

uh

do u even know the cutoffs for all of them

generally

[silver forge]

i have a question

im in canada

[thorny tusk]

same

[finite summit]

what cutoff

[silver forge]

will doing good on the waterloo contests qualify for next level?

[thorny tusk]

for germany mo and tst

[silver forge]

or must u do the comc

[thorny tusk]

huh

cmo?

u can get in from comc, ahsmc, qam

ahsmc is alberta only, qam is quebec only

also cmo was thursday this week

[silver forge]

is comc multiple choice?

or full solution

also harder or easier than pascal contest

[thorny tusk]

part a, b is like aime but u can still get partials from showing work, part c full solution

[thorny tusk]

harder duh

[sturdy knoll]

me too

[silver forge]

if i did first 23 of pascal, how much would i theoretically get on comc

[finite summit]

its like be top 20-10% for the first 3 rounds and then like top 5%

[silver forge]

oh

i assume u need to do most of c to get in

[thorny tusk]

not that much...

[thorny tusk]

yes definitely

[thorny tusk]

thats a lot of rounds

[finite summit]

school , regional , state , national

[silver forge]

crazy

[thorny tusk]

huh school?

maybe germans kids are js smrt idk

[finite summit]

yea you get handed it by your teacher if you sign up and then if you do good you get further

[thorny tusk]

o wow

[finite summit]

but no unless you do a lot of math in your free time you dont get in

[thorny tusk]

bit different from our system

[finite summit]

the school doesnt teach you ANYTHING for that

[thorny tusk]

mhmm

[inland totem]

schools usually teach the bare minimum

[finite summit]

yea

[thorny tusk]

yea

i sleep during school math

[inland totem]

u have to study urself to actually get into prestigious comps

[viral sierra]

yea

[thorny tusk]

or play games

[inland totem]

i wish i could

[thorny tusk]

i wish math classes were longer video games r fun

[viral sierra]

i just bring my own textbooks to raigbait the teacher

[thorny tusk]

😭

[inland totem]

hmmm

[finite summit]

me in german classes learning pyhsics or math

[inland totem]

o dam there's a fly in my room

[viral sierra]

o crap. im flying in your room

no, jmo

theres liek

deepseek v2

or alphageomtry 2

im pretty sure it still can

i dont use it tho

looks like gpt 5.4 pro is the most perfomative

Guys, I am doing a waterloo math competition at my school in Canada and I need help to practice for it

[thin pumice]

on april 1st or may 14th?? which one?

[trail ember]

april 1st

[thin pumice]

which grade?

oh ps make sure ur writing is neat and readable cuz they can deduct if they dont understand

[trail ember]

grade 7

[thin pumice]

grade 7??? fryer?

[trail ember]

I already did this math competition at grade 6 since I got selected by my teachers

idk

[thin pumice]

ooooh niceeeee
