AA siblings..

This post is inspired by my brother. 

I am not good at writing non-math posts, so please forgive me for that.

Clickbait:P

My family is... one word... weird. No really. We have my Papa, Mumma and my brother, Suhan.

Now now, siblings. SIBLINGS. S.I.B.L.I.N.G.S. One of the worlds' most irritating "prani" (animal). I am the elder one, my brother is like 5 years younger than me. But no no no, we both are in fact treated equally :P ( Thanks Mumma papa). 

Trust me.. Suhan is probably THE MOST PAMPERED KID OF ALL TIME. I am sure all the elder siblings go through this period. Arey Suhan is really pampered.. When Mumma and papa are out, and Suhan does something wrong, I get the scolding, in fact, I have got way more scolding than Suhan has got. And this is why he is so naughty -_-.

But the evil happiness you get when your sibling gets scolding is just so good. Lemme share a story.

A typical day, Suhan and me fighting. Mumma getting irritated. And then Mr Suhan said something in front of Mumma, which I am sure he regrets till now. 

" Zada mat karo.. tum ho..  Lallu ki bacchi"

Mumma like "O_O". Me, laughing out loud. And Suhan? He is like " I am gone." And that day, he got so much scolding. And did you think I will save him? Nahhh..

You know "A typical Indian sibling." I took that opportunity and made him get scolding about a lot of topics and ultimately, he got restrictions over T.V, YT, etc. 

And I succeeded :sunglasses:

There won't be a day, we both haven't fought. And to be honest I don't even remember on what topics we have fought. But yeah, there's one very common topic, which is...

"T.V ka Remote kaun lega?" [who will take the T.V's remote]

Oh god the no. of times we have fought on this topic, is probably close to 1000. This is probably the world's most common debate topic. Me be like," I studied, so I deserve it." Suhan be like" So what? I too studied." "But you studied for less hrs" " Because I am chota"

I ultimately always lose this debate -___________________________-

And last last "Aadha aadha Karo" [do it half-half]

My father introduced a very nice rule for this half-half rule, btw. He said, "one will divide the chocolate, the other will choose." But there's a problem. WHO WILL BE DIVIDING? Dividing is hard you see? We might make a mistake and so many more things...

--- 

But in the end, that guy has grown up. He is in class 6. CLASS 6. That's a big class. Still, he is so innocent and cute ( And idiot). Earlier he used to be scared to switch on the lights, I used to do it. Now, he switches on lights on his own. 

We both used to play together at Diwali, and other festivals. Now he got his own set of friends you see? We used to make so many vlogs together, now both of us are busy with our own Studies. 

And sadly I got like 2years left, and maybe (just maybe) I will miss these fights.

6 years old pic..see the height difference!

Anyways see ya later!

Sunaina 💜

    And also the elder sibling getting scolding for everything the younger sibling does because the elder one is "rEsPoNsIbLe" and the younger one "dOeSn'T kNoW" anything :P

    Why is this so relatable XD

    well, I can't relate to this but I can relate to your younger brother since i am smaller sibling, I just used to tease my brother a lot by making remarks and jokes and sometimes even messaging him some non-sense. Now i have stopped doing this, he was busy from before and now i have got busy but it was a nice experience. The TV one was real good, we still fight in nights for watching some movie while eating dinner and many times we end up in a settlement because then mom goes to turn off the TV.

My experiences at EGMO, IMOTC and PROMYS experience

Yes, I know. This post should have been posted like 2 months ago. Okay okay, sorry. But yeah, I was just waiting for everything to be over and I was lazy. ( sorry ) You know, the transitioning period from high school to college is very weird. I will join CMI( Chennai Mathematical  Institue) for bsc maths and cs degree. And I am very scared. Like very very scared. No, not about making new friends and all. I don't care about that part because I know a decent amount of CMI people already.  What I am scared of is whether I will be able to handle the coursework and get good grades T_T Anyways, here's my EGMO PDC, EGMO, IMOTC and PROMYS experience. Yes, a lot of stuff. My EGMO experience is a lot and I wrote a lot of details, IMOTC and PROMYS is just a few paras. Oh to those, who don't know me or are reading for the first time. I am Sunaina Pati. I was IND2 at EGMO 2023 which was held in Slovenia. I was also invited to the IMOTC or International Mathematical Olympiad Training Cam...

How to prepare for RMO?

"Let's wait for this exam to get over".. *Proceeds to wait for 2 whole fricking years!  I always wanted to write a book recommendation list, because I have been asked so many times! But then I was always like "Let's wait for this exam to get over" and so on. Why? You see it's pretty embarrassing to write a "How to prepare for RMO/INMO" post and then proceed to "fail" i.e not qualifying.  Okay okay, you might be thinking, "Sunaina you qualified like in 10th grade itself, you will obviously qualify in 11th and 12th grade." No. It's not that easy. Plus you are talking to a very underconfident girl. I have always underestimated myself. And I think that's the worst thing one can do itself. Am I confident about myself now? Definitely not but I am learning not to self-depreciate myself little by little. Okay, I shall write more about it in the next post describing my experience in 3 different camps and 1 program.  So, I got...

Solving Random ISLs And Sharygin Solutions! And INMO happened!!

Some of the ISLs I did before INMO :P  [2005 G3]:  Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram. A variable line $g$ through the vertex $A$ intersects the rays $BC$ and $DC$ at the points $X$ and $Y$, respectively. Let $K$ and $L$ be the $A$-excenters of the triangles $ABX$ and $ADY$. Show that the angle $\measuredangle KCL$ is independent of the line $g$ Solution: Note that $$\Delta LDK \sim \Delta XBK$$ and $$\Delta ADY\sim \Delta XCY.$$ So we have $$\frac{BK}{DY}=\frac{XK}{LY}$$ and $$\frac{DY}{CY}=\frac{AD}{XC}=\frac{AY}{XY}.$$ Hence $$\frac{BK}{CY}=\frac{AD}{XC}\times \frac{XK}{LY}\implies \frac{BK}{BC}=\frac{CY}{XC}\times \frac{XK}{LY}=\frac{AB}{BC}\times \frac{XK}{LY} $$ $$\frac{AB}{LY}\times \frac{XK}{BK}=\frac{AB}{LY}\times \frac{LY}{DY}=\frac{AB}{DL}$$ $$\implies \Delta CBK\sim \Delta LDK$$ And we are done. We get that $$\angle KCL=360-(\angle ACB+\angle DKC+\angle BCK)=\angle DAB/2 +180-\angle DAB=180-\angle DAB/2$$ Motivation: I took a hint on this. I had other angles but I did...

IMO Shortlist 2021 C1

 I am planning to do at least one ISL every day so that I do not lose my Olympiad touch (and also they are fun to think about!). Today, I tried the 2021 IMO shortlist C1.  (2021 ISL C1) Let $S$ be an infinite set of positive integers, such that there exist four pairwise distinct $a,b,c,d \in S$ with $\gcd(a,b) \neq \gcd(c,d)$. Prove that there exist three pairwise distinct $x,y,z \in S$ such that $\gcd(x,y)=\gcd(y,z) \neq \gcd(z,x)$. Suppose not. Then any $3$ elements $x,y,z\in S$ will be $(x,y)=(y,z)=(x,z)$ or $(x,y)\ne (y,z)\ne (x,z)$. There exists an infinite set $T$ such that $\forall x,y\in T,(x,y)=d,$ where $d$ is constant. Fix a random element $a$. Note that $(x,a)|a$. So $(x,a)\le a$.Since there are infinite elements and finite many possibilities for the gcd (atmost $a$). So $\exists$ set $T$ which is infinite such that $\forall b_1,b_2\in T$ $$(a,b_1)=(a,b_2)=d.$$ Note that if $(b_1,b_2)\ne d$ then we get a contradiction as we get a set satisfying the proble...

Symmetric Polynomials #week 6

Well... I haven't seen much symmetric polynomials in Olympiads, but still I am learning, because I found them cute. And I am basically using this blog as my notes :P What are symmetric polynomials?  One can understand this with  examples. If we are considering over 3 variables, $x_1,x_2,x_3$ then  $$\sum_{sym}x_1^2\cdot x_2^3\cdot x_3=x_1^2\cdot x_2^3\cdot x_3+x_1^2\cdot x_3^3\cdot x_2+x_2^2\cdot x_1^3\cdot x_3+x_2^2\cdot x_3^3\cdot x_1+x_3^2\cdot x_1^3\cdot x_2.$$ See? $3!$ terms! Let's take one more example with again over 3 variables, $x_1,x_2,x_3$ then $$\sum_{sym}x_1^2\cdot x_2^2= x_1^2\cdot x_2^2+x_1^2\cdot x_3^2+x_2^2\cdot x_1^2+x_2^2\cdot x_3^2+x_3^2\cdot x_1^2+x_3^2\cdot x_2^2$$ Wait.. why 2 times ? So basically what happens in symmetrictric sums, is we go through all $n!$ possible permutations. So, here we have $a^2\cdot b^2\cdot c^0$ as like the "general" form type, right? Now, list down all the $3!=6$ permutations of $x_1,x_2,x_3$, and put them in the gene...

New year with a new beginning! And a recap of 2024..and all the best for INMO 2025!

Hi everyone! Happy New Year :)  Thank you so much for 95k+ views!!! How was everyone's 2024? What are everyone's resolutions? ( Do write down in the comment section! And you can come back 1 year later to see if you made them possible!). A Better Mathematician  Well, technically a theoretical computer scientist.  I am so grateful to be allowed to study at CMI where I can interact with so many brilliant professors, access the beautiful library and obviously discuss mathematics ( sometimes non math too ) with the students.    And this year, I want to learn more mathematics and clear my fundamentals. I have become much worse in math actually. And hopefully, read some research papers too :)  And discuss a lot of mathematics with other people.  However, with that whole depressing 2024 year, I have lost a lot of my confidence in mathematics. And to be a better mathematician, I should gain the confidence that I can be a mathematician. And well, I am working on...

Some Geometry Problems for everyone to try!

 These problems are INMO~ish level. So trying this would be a good practice for INMO!  Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral. Let $M,N,P,Q$ be the midpoints of sides $AB,BC,CD,DA$. Prove that $MNPQ$ is a parallelogram. Consider $\Delta ABD$ and $\Delta BDC$ .Note that $NP||BD||MQ$. Similarly, $NM||AC||PQ$. Hence the parallelogram. In $\Delta ABC$, $\angle A$ be right. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ onto $BC$. Prove that $AD^2=BD\cdot CD$. Note that $\Delta ADB\sim \Delta CDA$. So by similarity, we have $$\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{CD}{AD}.$$ In $\Delta ABC$, $\angle A$ be right. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ onto $BC$. Prove that $AD^2=BD\cdot CD$. Let $D\in CA$, such that $AD = AB$.Note that $BD||AS$. So by the Thales’ Proportionality Theorem, we are done! Given $\Delta ABC$, construct equilateral triangles $\Delta BCD,\Delta CAE,\Delta ABF$ outside of $\Delta ABC$. Prove that $AD=BE=CF$. This is just congruence. N...

IMO Shortlist 2022 C1

  Today we shall try IMO Shortlist $2022$ C1. A $\pm 1$-sequence is a sequence of $2022$ numbers $a_1, \ldots, a_{2022},$ each equal to either $+1$ or $-1$. Determine the largest $C$ so that, for any $\pm 1$-sequence, there exists an integer $k$ and indices $1 \le t_1 < \ldots < t_k \le 2022$ so that $t_{i+1} - t_i \le 2$ for all $i$, and$$\left| \sum_{i = 1}^{k} a_{t_i} \right| \ge C.$$ We claim that the answer is $\boxed{506}$. $506$ is the upper bound. Just consider the sequence $$+1,-1,-1,+1,+1,-1,-1,+1\dots,-1,-1,+1,+1,-1.$$ Here $1, -1, -1, 1$ is repeated $505$ times and $1,-1$ is concatted to it. Now,our sequence would be $a_1,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_7,\dots$ which on summing would give $506$. And clearly, this would give the upper bound. Now, we show that $506$ is attainable by every sequence. WLOG there are at least $1011$ positive numbers in the sequence. Then we choose $+1$ whenever we can. Let the sequence be $c_1,b_1,\dots, c_n,b_n$ where $c_i$ are ...

Problems I did this week [Jan8-Jan14]

Yeyy!! I am being so consistent with my posts~~ Here are a few problems I did the past week and yeah INMO going to happen soon :) All the best to everyone who is writing!  I wont be trying any new problems and will simply revise stuffs :) Some problems here are hard. Try them yourself and yeah~~Solutions (with sources) are given at the end! Problems discussed in the blog post Problem1: Let $ABC$ be a triangle whose incircle $\omega$ touches sides $BC, CA, AB$ at $D,E,F$ respectively. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $DEF$ and let altitude $DH$ intersect $\omega$ again at $P$ and $EF$ intersect $BC$ at $L$. Let the circumcircle of $BPC$ intersect $\omega$ again at $X$. Prove that points $L,D,H,X$ are concyclic. Problem 2: Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrangle, $ P$ the intersection of lines $ AB$ and $ CD$, $ Q$ the intersection of lines $ AD$ and $ BC$ and $ O$ the intersection of diagonals $ AC$ and $ BD$. Show that if $ \angle POQ= 90^\circ$ then $ PO$ is the bisector of $ \angle AOD$ ...

Just spam combo problems cause why not

This post is mainly for Rohan Bhaiya. He gave me/EGMO contestants a lot and lots of problems. Here are solutions to a very few of them.  To Rohan Bhaiya: I just wrote the sketch/proofs here cause why not :P. I did a few more extra problems so yeah.  I sort of sorted the problems into different sub-areas, but it's just better to try all of them! I did try some more combo problems outside this but I tried them in my tablet and worked there itself. So latexing was tough. Algorithms  "Just find the algorithm" they said and they died.  References:  Algorithms Pset by Abhay Bestrapalli Algorithms by Cody Johnson Problem1: Suppose the positive integer $n$ is odd. First Al writes the numbers $1, 2,\dots, 2n$ on the blackboard. Then he picks any two numbers $a, b$ erases them, and writes, instead, $|a - b|$. Prove that an odd number will remain at the end.  Proof: Well, we go $\mod 2$. Note that $$|a-b|\equiv a+b\mod 2\implies \text{ the final number is }1+2+\dots ...
