Bio is Love..

Adios, everyone! Boards preparation at its peak :( 

However, I am not able to study how I used to. Every time I try to study for boards, I just keep thinking much about a topic, stare at the book, jam a song or just start doing procrastination by bookmarking random cute problems in HSO. It's been more than a year I have studied like with a focus on a book. My lappy is being a big distraction tbh. So after INMO score come out, I will just give my lappy for repair and say papa to bring it back home after June 2. 

Milk and Mocha


I literally am taking 2 days to complete 1 bio chapter, some times even 3. The rate of my "slowness" is probably because I am like every 15 minutes checking discord to see if the INMO scores are out or not.

So HBCSE, thank you for keeping me anxious. 

Funfact:- we must be grateful that there is an organisation that is conducting these national Olys. There are some countries where no Olys are being conducted. ( Same dialogue which mumma uses, but in place of Olys it's food *Typical Indian middle class mom's line*)

Plus those people are like double our age, so disrespecting them is really bad. Feel free to complain against them ( cause you have the right to) but never say," Oh these people just don't know how to check" or some sort of negative comment. 

---

Well well, too many HBCSE things. So boards now ( Here we go again). I have completed 3 bio chapters and have made notes for them, I will share them here since some juniors might need them ( plus I worked a lot on the notes)

They are handwritten, and a big claim:- They can easily get you full marks in Biology. I referred S.Chand and google searched too. Every detail is written there. So just refer to that and don't read NCERT and I am serious.!

Life processes:- 

Heredity And evolution:-

Our Environment:- 

Oh also, I compiled some problems sets of the previous week (Favourite problems etc). So here's the Google drive links of some weeks and also the blog post link :P
Woopsie, too many links :O.. Anyways I will create Pages after my exam and add these in one page, so everyone can refer it...

Anyways bbies for now, sorry for this boring blogpost :(.

  3. Sidenote: Graders are not necessarily or even usually top mathematicians. Most of the graders are usually students who participated in previous years and performed exceptionally(mostly who reached imo).

    Regarding Rohan's statement, maybe ask him before sharing as he might have meant it for your server members only especially since it's very informally written.

    1. Man I think u r high 😂😂
      Idk who are you
      So this comments is with lots of respects

      Yes, some graders are the people who wrote IMO,
      So what ? What will you call them ? A person who isn't qualified enough to check a maths answer sheet, man they are also some of the brilliant minds in maths, so saying like this (I feel so) is a big disrespect to them ;-;

  4. Lol now you can enjoy, boards cancelled!

Geometry ( Finally!!!)

 This is just such an unfair blog.  Like if one goes through this blog, one can notice how dominated  Algebra is!! Like 6 out of 9 blog post is Algebra dominated -_- Where as I am not a fan of Algebra, compared to other genres of Olympiad Math(as of now). And this was just injustice for Synthetic Geo. So this time , go geo!!!!!!!!!!!  These problems are randomly from A Beautiful Journey through Olympiad Geometry.  Also perhaps I will post geo after March, because I am studying combi.  Problem:  Let ABC be an acute triangle where \angle BAC = 60^{\circ}. Prove that if the Euler’s line of \triangle ABC intersects AB and AC at D and E, respectively, then \triangle ADE is equilateral. Solution:  Since \angle A=60^{\circ} , we get AH=2R\cos A=R=AO. So \angle EHA=\angle DOA. Also it's well known that H and O isogonal conjugates.\angle OAD =\angle EAH. By ASA congruence, we get AE=AD. Hence \triangle ADE is equilateral....

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 ...

IMO 2023 P2

IMO 2023 P2 Well, IMO 2023 Day 1 problems are out and I thought of trying the geometry problem which was P2.  Problem: Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle with AB < AC. Let \Omega be the circumcircle of ABC. Let S be the midpoint of the arc CB of \Omega containing A. The perpendicular from A to BC meets BS at D and meets \Omega again at E \neq A. The line through D parallel to BC meets line BE at L. Denote the circumcircle of triangle BDL by \omega. Let \omega meet \Omega again at P \neq B. Prove that the line tangent to \omega at P meets line BS on the internal angle bisector of \angle BAC. Well, here's my proof, but I would rather call this my rough work tbh. There are comments in the end! Proof Define A' as the antipode of A. And redefine P=A'D\cap (ABC). Define L=SP\cap (PDB).  Claim1: L-B-E collinear Proof: Note that \angle SCA=\angle SCB-\angle ACB=90-A/2-C.
So $$\angle SPA=90-A/2-C\implies \ang...

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...

Challenging myself? [Jan 15-Jan 27]

Ehh INMO was trash. I think I will get 17/0/0/0-1/3-5/10-14, which is def not good enough for qualifying from 12th grade. Well, I really feel sad but let's not talk about it and focus on EGMO rather.  INMO 2023 P1 Let S be a finite set of positive integers. Assume that there are precisely 2023 ordered pairs (x,y) in S\times S so that the product xy is a perfect square. Prove that one can find at least four distinct elements in S so that none of their pairwise products is a perfect square. I will use Atul's sol, cause it's the exact same as mine.  Proof: Consider the graph G induced by the elements of S and edges being if the products are perfect squares. Note that if xy = a^2 and xz = b^2, then yz = \left( \frac{ab}{x} \right)^2, since its an integer and square of a rational number its a perfect square and so yz is an edge too. So the graph is a bunch of disjoint cliques, say with sizes c_1, c_2, \cdots, c_k. Then \sum_{i=1}^k c_i^2 = 2023, which ...

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...

Problems with meeting people!

Yeah, I did some problems and here are a few of them! I hope you guys try them! Putnam, 2018 B3 Find all positive integers n < 10^{100} for which simultaneously n divides 2^n, n-1 divides 2^n - 1, and n-2 divides 2^n - 2. Proof We have n|2^n\implies n=2^a\implies 2^a-1|2^n-1\implies a|n\implies a=2^b
\implies 2^{2^b}-2|2^{2^a}-2\implies 2^b-1|2^a-1\implies b|a\implies b=2^c.
Then simply bounding. USAMO 1987 Determine all solutions in non-zero integers a and b of the equation (a^2+b)(a+b^2) = (a-b)^3.
Proof We get  2b^2+(a^2-3a)b+(a+3a^2)=0\implies b = \frac{3a-a^2\pm\sqrt{a^4-6a^3-15a^2-8a}}{4}
\implies a^4-6a^3-15a^2-8a=a(a-8)(a+1)^2\text{ a perfect square}
\implies a(a-8)=k^2\implies a^2-8a-k^2=0\implies \implies a=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{64+4k^2}}{2}=4\pm\sqrt{16+k^2}.
16+k^2=m^2\implies (m-k)(m+k)=16.
Now just bash. USAMO 1988 Suppose that the set \{1,2,\cdots, 1998\} has been partitioned into disjoint pairs \{a_i,b_i\} ($1...

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...

Introduction

  Hey Everyone!! This is my first Blog post. So let me give a brief introduction about myself. I am Sunaina Pati. I love solving Olympiad math problems,  learning crazy astronomical facts , playing hanabi and anti-chess, listening to Kpop , love making diagrams in Geogebra and  teaching other people maths 😊 . I love geometry , number theory and Combinatorics . I am starting this blog to keep myself a bit motivated in doing studies 😎 . Right now, I am planning to write walkthroughs on some of the best problems I tried over the week which can refer for hints 'cause solutions contain some major spoilers and one learns a lot while solving the problem on his own rather than seeing solutions . Also, there will be some reviews about Kpop songs, study techniques, my day to day lifestyles,exam reviews and ofc some non-sense surprises 😂.  I am planning to  try  posting every week on Sundays or Saturdays ( most probably) ! Though there is no guarantee about when I ...
