IOQM Discussion

@Vinayak Srivastava – Ok,you are not.

@Vinayak Srivastava – National mathematical contest test. It is slightly less harder than prmo.

@A Former Brilliant Member – No, I'll Google it now.

@Siddharth Chakravarty – Is anyone else getting a Brilliant glitch like thing? My notifications have disappeared and I'm only checking gmail for notifications. @Siddharth Chakravarty, @Vinayak Srivastava, @Kriti Kamal

@Vinayak Srivastava – Oh! Didn't notice that :)

@Mahdi Raza – Oh! Didn't notice that :)

@Navvye Anand – No, I meant that 101010 is 42 but in binary format

@Mahdi Raza – Yes, I also.

@Vinayak Srivastava – How to paste the link can you explain again

@Srijan Singh – Ikr but I still like this problem, because it leaves everyone dumbfounded LOL

@Siddharth Chakravarty – Mine is better: $\begin{aligned} &~~~\LARGE{\cdot \cdot} \\ &\Huge{\smile} \\ \end{aligned}$

@Srijan Singh – I think he is answering Siddharth's problem, as it is clearly a reply to that. Use your brain sometimes Sing...

@Srijan Singh –

1. He never replied to your comment as a an answer to a question, so he can comment that, and there is nothing wrong with it.

2. If anyone's an idiot here, its you

3. What he has said, is also true. At least, I am not your best friend, I don't know about the others, but best friend is kinda too far, because we hardly know each other. You might be a friend to the others, to me you're just an annoying brat.

4. Don't reply to this. Get this in your head that unless you post one useful comment, you are doing the same thing Lam did in Nathan's Latex note. Your reply's are irritating enough already, Kat was right to call you a prick.

@SRIJAN Singh

@Aryan Sanghi – but got wrong

@Vinayak Srivastava – I don't think so. It shouldn't be allowed. "All exceptions to be avoided" should be written in the question, but I guess it is assumed in the rules of cricket

If that is allowed through (shouldn't be, but anyway), then the total would be

$35(n-1) + 36 = 35n + 1$

@Vinayak Srivastava – I do think it is allowed in cricket.However,it is only possible when fielders are like me or ball is lost .:-P

@A Former Brilliant Member – Yes, exactly. for each of the first $(n-1)$ overs, the batsman will take 33 runs. But in the last over he need not change the strike so he can hit all sixes which is 36 runs

$\begin{aligned} \text{Total } &= 33(n-1) + 36 \\ &= 33n - 33 + 36 \\ &= \boxed{33n + 3} \end{aligned}$

Which is what I wrote above

@A Former Brilliant Member – Well I referred it before attempting, and then I read a whole wiki on a sport that doesn't interest me, and then got the question correct. I guess it is not cheating, as it is like knowing about a theorem to solve a problem :)

@Siddharth Chakravarty – Which type of language are you learning? ,I'll post the solution whenever I'll get time

@Srijan Singh – Pall Marton's Latex Guide

@Aryan Sanghi – ok :)

@Vinayak Srivastava – If u see the harmonic seq u see a $\frac{2}{c}$ so the only ways to make it in the AM was to either use $\frac{c}{2}$ or use $c$ twice but since we don’t know what $a+b+\frac{c}{2}$ I had to use the other one

@Vinayak Srivastava – There are some questions you can see and find that you have to use ( if u want to do the question easily ) the QM-AM-GM-HM inequality. Once this set in your head that you have to use it, you will see how to split the variables to get the best results

@Vinayak Srivastava – There is one last way to find out which I don’t use at all, when minimised all the terms in the expression separately will be equal ( here $\frac{1}{a} , \frac{1}{b},\frac{1}{c},\frac{1}{c}$), this can be useful for easier direct questions ( like this one ) but not for the ones which involve sums or products of inequalities

@Siddharth Chakravarty – Nice a mistake while correcting a mistake , I have edited the solution

@Krity Kamal – I didn't understand what you meant.

@Vinayak Srivastava – Don't much think about it.Just give your best.

@Vinayak Srivastava – Yeah,i think that he is confused between ioqm and prmo.

@Vinayak Srivastava – I had not appeared for exam although i have registered for it......
