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$ and $ OQ$ is the bisector of $ \angle AOB$.

Problem 3: Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle with orthocenter $H$ and circumcenter $O$. Denote by $M$, $N$ the midpoints of $\overline{AH}$, $\overline{BC}$. Suppose the circle $\gamma$ with diameter $\overline{AH}$ meets the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $G \neq A$, and meets line $AN$ at a point $Q \neq A$. The tangent to $\gamma$ at $G$ meets line $OM$ at $P$. Show that the circumcircles of $\triangle GNQ$ and $\triangle MBC$ intersect at a point $T$ on $\overline{PN}$.

Problem 4: Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle ($AB=AC$) with incenter $I$. Circle $\omega$ passes through $C$ and $I$ and is tangent to $AI$. $\omega$ intersects $AC$ and circumcircle of $ABC$ at $Q$ and $D$, respectively. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ be the midpoint of $CQ$. Prove that $AD$, $MN$ and $BC$ are concurrent.

Problem 5: In parallelogram $ABCD$ with acute angle $A$ a point $N$ is chosen on the segment $AD$, and a point $M$ on the segment $CN$ so that $AB = BM = CM$. Point $K$ is the reflection of $N$ in line $MD$. The line $MK$ meets the segment $AD$ at point $L$. Let $P$ be the common point of the circumcircles of $AMD$ and $CNK$ such that $A$ and $P$ share the same side of the line $MK$. Prove that $\angle CPM = \angle DPL$.



STEMS Mathematics 2023 Category B P3

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.

Proof: Define $G$ as midpoint of $LD$, $J$ as midpoint of $FD$, $K$ as midpoint of $ED$. Note that $G-J-K$ collinear.

Claim: $BJKC$ cyclic

Proof: Note that$$\angle JKD=\angle FED$$Also $BJ \perp FD, CK\perp ED$. So$$\angle JKC=90+\angle FED=90+\angle FDB=90+90-\angle JBD\implies BJKC \text{ cyclic }.$$

Note that $(L,D;B,C)=-1$. So $GB\cdot GD=GD^2$.


Claim: $PXJK$ cyclic

Proof: Invert $PBC$ about the incirlce, we get $B\rightarrow J, C\rightarrow K$.


Claim: $G-X-P$ collinear

Proof: Radical axis on $(DFE),(BJKC),(XPJK)$


So $GD^2=GB\cdot GC=GJ\cdot GK=GX\cdot GP$.

So $GD$ is tangent $(XPD)$. So $\angle XPD=\angle XDL$.


To show $XHDL$ cyclic, it is enough to show $LH$ is tangent to $(XPH)$.


Note that $LP=LH$ as $EF$ is perpendicular bisector of $PH$.


Now, we have the reduced problem.

Problem: Given $ABC$ a triangle, define $E=AA\cap BC$. Define $H$ as the orthocenter and $D'=AH\cap (ABC)$. Define $X=(AHE)\cap (ABC)$. Prove that $EH$ is tangent to $(HXD')$.

Proof:$$\angle EHX=\angle EAX=\angle ACX=\angle AD'X=\angle HD'X.$$So $EH$ is tangent to $(HXD')$.

We are done~~

Brazilian Math Olympiad 2007, Problem 5

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$ and $ OQ$ is the bisector of $ \angle AOB$.

Proof: Define $QO\cap AB=X,PO\cap BC=Y$. Note that by ceva-menalaus, we have $(P,X;A,B)=-1=(B,C;F,E)$. Since $\angle POX=90\implies \angle AOX=\angle XOB$. By angle bisector harmonic lemma. Similarly, we have $\angle BOF=\angle COF$. Done!


USA TSTST 2016 Problem 2, by Evan Chen

Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle with orthocenter $H$ and circumcenter $O$. Denote by $M$, $N$ the midpoints of $\overline{AH}$, $\overline{BC}$. Suppose the circle $\gamma$ with diameter $\overline{AH}$ meets the circumcircle of $ABC$ at $G \neq A$, and meets line $AN$ at a point $Q \neq A$. The tangent to $\gamma$ at $G$ meets line $OM$ at $P$. Show that the circumcircles of $\triangle GNQ$ and $\triangle MBC$ intersect at a point $T$ on $\overline{PN}$.

Proof: Note that $Q$ is the humpty point. So $AG,HQ,BC$ concur at say $X$. Note that by brocards $N-H-G$ collinear and $HG\perp AG$. So $O-M-P||N-H-G$. Also note that $Q\in (GNX)$.

Claim: $PGMA$ cyclic

Proof: Since $M$ is centre of $(GMH)$, we get$$\angle GMA=2\angle GHA=2\angle PGA=2(90-\angle GPM)=180-\angle GPA.$$

Claim: $MP$ diameter of $AGMP$

Proof:$$\angle MAG=\angle MGA=90-\angle GMP= 90-\angle PAG.$$

Define $Y=(APGM)\cap (BMC)$. By radicals on $(MBC),(APGM),(ABCG)$ we get $BC,AG,MY$ concurring at $X$.

Define $E,F$ as feet of the altitude on $AC,AB$. Radicals on $(AH),(FEBC),(ABC)\implies E-F-X$ Note that $MYEF$ cyclic as$$XY\cdot XM=XB\cdot XC=XE\cdot XF.$$

Claim: $P-Y-N$ collinear

Proof: As $MN$ is the diameter of $N_9$ we get$$90=\angle MEN=\angle MYN.$$Since $\angle MYP=90\implies P-Y-N.$

So $Y\in (XGQN)$. Hence $Y$ is the desired concurrency.

Iranian TST 2020, second exam day 2, problem 4

Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle ($AB=AC$) with incenter $I$. Circle $\omega$ passes through $C$ and $I$ and is tangent to $AI$. $\omega$ intersects $AC$ and circumcircle of $ABC$ at $Q$ and $D$, respectively. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ be the midpoint of $CQ$. Prove that $AD$, $MN$ and $BC$ are concurrent.

Proof: Define $X=AD\cap BC$. 

Claim: $N$ is the centre of $\omega$. 

Proof: Define $N'$ such that $N'I\perp AI$ and $N'\in AC$. Note that $$\angle N'CI=\angle BCI=\angle N'IC\implies N'\text{ is the center of }\omega\implies N'=N.$$

Define $P=BC\cap \omega$. Define $P'$ as the reflection of $P$ wrt $N$. Then note that $$\angle QP'C=90\implies P'\in \omega\implies QP'||BC.$$

Claim: $P'\in AC$

Proof: $$\angle AP'Q=\angle QPD=\angle 90-\angle DPX=\angle AXB\implies P'\in AD.$$

So by homothety, we get $X-N-M$ collinear. 


2022 IZHO P3

In parallelogram $ABCD$ with acute angle $A$ a point $N$ is chosen on the segment $AD$, and a point $M$ on the segment $CN$ so that $AB = BM = CM$. Point $K$ is the reflection of $N$ in line $MD$. The line $MK$ meets the segment $AD$ at point $L$. Let $P$ be the common point of the circumcircles of $AMD$ and $CNK$ such that $A$ and $P$ share the same side of the line $MK$. Prove that $\angle CPM = \angle DPL$.

Proof: We begin with the claim. 

Claim: $AMNK$ cyclic

Proof: Let $\angle MAB=\theta\implies \angle ABM=180-2\theta.$ Let $$\angle MBC=\alpha \implies \angle ABC=180-2\theta+\alpha$$ $$\implies \angle MCD=\angle BCD-\angle MCB=2\theta-\alpha-\alpha=2\theta-2\alpha.$$ $$\angle MDC=90-\theta+\alpha\implies \angle ADM=\angle ADC-\angle MDC$$ $$=180-2\theta+\alpha-(90-\theta+\alpha)=90-\theta\implies \angle DNK=\theta\text{ as } DM\perp NK.$$

So $$\angle MNK=\angle DNK-\angle DNC=\angle DNK-(180-\angle NCD-\angle NDC)$$ $$=\angle DNK-(180-2\theta+2\alpha-180+2\theta-\alpha)=\theta-\alpha.$$

Moreover, $$\angle MAN=\angle BCD-\angle MAB=2\theta-\alpha-\theta=\theta-\alpha.$$

So $$\angle MAN=\angle MNK\implies AMNK\text{ is cyclic }.$$

Claim: $MK||AB||BC$

Proof: $$\angle MKD=\angle MND=\angle DNC=\alpha.$$ And $$\angle KDC=\angle ADC-\angle NDK=180-2\theta+\alpha-(180-2\theta)=\alpha.$$

So $$\angle MKD=\angle KDC=\alpha\implies MK||AB||BC.$$

Define $O$ as the circumcenter of $(AMD)$. 

Claim: $O-L-M-K$ collinear

Proof: $$\angle NMO=\angle AMO-\angle AMN=\frac{180-\angle AOM}{2}-\angle AMN$$ $$=90-\angle ADM-\angle AMN$$ $$=\angle DNK-\angle ANK=\angle DNK-(\angle DNM-\angle MNK)=2\angle MNK.$$

Note that $AB=BM=MC=MD$. Note that $OC$ is the perpendicular bisector of $MOD$.

Claim: $CKNO$ cyclic

Proof: $$\angle KOC=\angle MAD=\angle MAN=\angle MKN=\angle MNK.$$

Infact, $MO=MC=CD$ and $NOCK$ is isosceles trapezoid. 

Define $(AMD)\cap (CNKO)=P,Q$. We use radical axis on $(CKNOP),(AKDO),(AMDP)$. We get $PQ,OK,AD$ concurring at $L$.

We use radicals on $(ANMK),(AMD),(NKC)$ we get $NK,PQ,AM$ concurring at say $X$. 

Claim: $M$ is incenter of $AKD$

Proof: $$\angle AKM=\angle DNM=\angle MKD$$ and $MN=MK$. 

But note that $AMDP$ is appollinius circle i.e define $M'$ as antipode of $M$ in $(AMD)$, we have $(M',M;L,K)=-1$. So $\angle MPK=\angle MPQ$.

To finish, note that $$\angle CPM=\angle CPK+\angle MPK$$ $$=\angle CNK+\angle MPK$$ $$=\angle MKN+\angle MPK$$ $$=\angle MAD+\angle MPK$$ $$=\angle MPD+\angle MPK$$ $$=\angle MPD+\angle MPQ=\angle DPL.$$

Some random problems I did

Problem 1: Let $ABCD$ a convex quadrilateral. Suppose that the circumference with center $B$ and radius $BC$ is tangent to $AD$ in $F$ and the circumference with center $A$ and radius $AD$ is tangent to $BC$ in $E$. Prove that $DE$ and $CF$ are perpendicular.

Proof: Note that $BF\perp AF, AE\perp BE\implies AFEB \text{ is cyclic}$.

Note that$$\angle FCE=\angle CFB=90-\frac{\angle FBE}{2}=90-\frac{\angle DAE}{2}=\angle FDE\implies DCEF\text{ is cyclic}.$$To finish,$$\angle DEC=180-(\angle DEA+\angle AFD)=180-(\angle ADE+90)=90-\angle ADE=90-\angle FCE\implies DE\perp FC.$$


Problem 2: Consider an acutangle triangle $ABC$ with circumcenter $O$. A circumference that passes through $B$ and $O$ intersect sides $BC$ and $AB$ in points $P$ and $Q$. Prove that the orthocenter of triangle $OPQ$ is on $AC$.

Proof: Define $R$ as the $(AQO)\cap AC.$ We claim that $R$ is the orthocenter of $OPQ$.

For $RO\perp PQ$, note that $\angle OQP=90-A$ and $A=\angle QAR=180-\angle QOR$. So $RO\perp PQ$. For $RP\perp QO$, note that $\angle ORP=\angle OCP=90-A$ and$$\angle QPR=\angle QPO+\angle RPQ=\angle OBA+\angle OCA=90-C+90-B\implies RP\perp QO.$$

Diagram creds to mogmog8

We use a lot of stuffs in USATST 2013 P2. Firtly, we use prism lemma, which states like, if two lines $l_1$ and $l_2$ meet at say $X$ and $A_1,B_1,C_1$ are points on $l_1$ and $A_2,B_2,C_2$ are points on $l_2$. We have $A_1A_2,B_1B_2,C_1C_2$ concur iff $(A_1,B_1;C_1,X)=(A_2,B_2;C_2,X)$. Concurrency and prism lemma goes well with each other.


We also use pole and polars/brokards.  And we use radicals too, Pretty good problem.

I even tried desargues, which led to thinking of cross ratios. 



Nine point circle configuration is pretty cute but I tend to forget it. I think most important is knowing the circle exists and the radius is $R/2$.

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....

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 ...

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...

Orders and Primitive roots

 Theory  We know what Fermat's little theorem states. If $p$ is a prime number, then for any integer $a$, the number $a^p − a$ is an integer multiple of $p$. In the notation of modular arithmetic, this is expressed as \[a^{p}\equiv a{\pmod {p}}.\] So, essentially, for every $(a,m)=1$, ${a}^{\phi (m)}\equiv 1 \pmod {m}$. But $\phi (m)$ isn't necessarily the smallest exponent. For example, we know $4^{12}\equiv 1\mod 13$ but so is $4^6$. So, we care about the "smallest" exponent $d$ such that $a^d\equiv 1\mod m$ given $(a,m)=1$.  Orders Given a prime $p$, the order of an integer $a$ modulo $p$, $p\nmid a$, is the smallest positive integer $d$, such that $a^d \equiv 1 \pmod p$. This is denoted $\text{ord}_p(a) = d$. If $p$ is a primes and $p\nmid a$, let $d$ be order of $a$ mod $p$. Then $a^n\equiv 1\pmod p\implies d|n$. Let $n=pd+r, r\ll d$. Which implies $a^r\equiv 1\pmod p.$ But $d$ is the smallest natural number. So $r=0$. So $d|n$. Show that $n$ divid...

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...
