Nice and very simple quiz
10/10 for the interesting thought for making the question
Ah but I can’t access it in mainland China :P
e
A new one!

Solution of second last one (with standard notations) :Log in to reply
Could any of you make this a quiz or problem set on brilliant? Thanks!
Log in to reply
Sure
@Jeff Giff - You can use buttons in RadMaths to make it more rad. See my note Buttons to learn button formatting :)
Log in to reply
I used it in anther note :) I don’t think it is necessary to add buttons here :)
Hi @Tomislav Franov , your problem set has been included to this note! Good job! :)
Log in to reply
Hi, thank you so much!!!
Nice, @Jeff Giff
What about my Recurring Proof Notes? You think they are useful to your note, @Jeff Giff?
@Jeff Giff- Try my A Pre-RMO question! series, Math also Fails! series.
Log in to reply
That's a definite one for @Jeff Giff to try - the Pre-RMO questions.
Also, RMO stands for...?
By the way, try this for Math Also Fails - eiπ=−1,(eπ)i=−1, then i=logeπ−1?!
Log in to reply
No actually, definition of log clearly states that logab is defined only when
a>0anda=1
b>0
Well it is correct, and not surprising if you know the Taylor series of ln and this
If you want a big and detailed explanation you can ask for that (can even write a note!)
Oops.. that’s logarithm for negative numbers :/
Good idea! I’ll add them :)
@Jeff Giff, Thanks for the mention for my LATEX Guide but, it is a work in progress and I can suggest you better ones - Daniel Liu's Guide and Hamza Anushath's Guide.
Log in to reply
Ok! Thanks!
Log in to reply
Thanks for the mention of Mathathon 2020 too!
And please add mine too @Jeff Giff (I am Hamza Anushath)
Log in to reply
@Hamza Anushath - He still didn't add your Latex note, LOL
Log in to reply
@Percy Jackson @Jeff Giff
Yeah, it has been two weeksLog in to reply
@Hamza Anushath
Mathathon started, start posting solutionsLog in to reply
@Percy Jackson
Yeah, if I post solutions for past questions, will I still get pointsDeduct five points from the total due to late submission if you'd like as well
Log in to reply
@Percy Jackson...
Cuz I didn't see the Mathathon problems till just nowLog in to reply
@Percy Jackson!
ThnxTry my When two lines meet series, it is a series of hard questions for learning to solve questions using graph. Is this useful for your note?
Log in to reply
@Jeff Giff Add this sreies also, of @Aryan Sanghi
Log in to reply
Thanks a lot @Zakir Husain
Log in to reply
@Jeff Giff for adding this in the note
Thanks toLog in to reply
@Jeff Giff Also try to add polyfon series by @Aryan Sanghi
Log in to reply
Yes,thanku. I'll try to make the polyfun series more vast by adding more problems to it.
@Jeff Giff- Kindly mention this note instead of my feed for Pre-RMO question series.
Log in to reply
👌 OK!
@Jeff Giff, could you add my note too as a LATEX guide, it has many new facts and features which may only have been mentioned by me
Log in to reply
Click the add my note to access my note @Jeff Giff
@Jeff Giff, if you need anything from me, check out my profile and choose the series (i.e. if you choose one problem, you have to have the rest of the problems with that title.)
@Jeff Giff - Kindly add this in RadMaths ''Late Events''
Log in to reply
@Jeff Giff Thanks!
Check this out, @Páll Márton :)
Log in to reply
Thank you!
@Jeff Giff What about this?
Wowie!!!!!! RadMaths has become even better! Good work @Jeff Giff! You'll have to organize it a bit though, like removing the Mathathon as it is over, adding more space between 2 different series, etc.
@Jeff Giff it is Vinayak Srivastavsa not Yinayak @Vinayak Srivastava ?
Log in to reply
Yes @Jeff Giff!
Log in to reply
Uh oh. Typo ^@^
@Jeff Giff, check out this:
Magic Square Connections Study
@Jeff Giff you might like to add my Coordinate geometry series. All of its questions are popular and level 5. :)
Log in to reply
The link is level 4 actually lol
Log in to reply
Yes, this question didn't live to the expectations, but it's atleast popular. :)

@Jeff Giff, I think the actual PRMO discussion is this, so please change the link, that one has only sample questions. :)
very nice collection. thank you
Hey everyone! I just found a way to nest buttons!!! All we have to do is to quote in a button and make a button in the quote! Only we can’t nest tables :( @Frisk Dreemurr , @Yajat Shamji
Test: (Failed)
Log in to reply
Páll Márton would love this awww... but he is removed :(
You used > to make a quote right
Log in to reply
How did you make it, I can create the nested button but can’t hide stuff in it
Log in to reply
Is it okay if I remake this note to make it more... accessible? I will give credit + link to this note as well if you do
Log in to reply
Ok :) but a better way would be to link this note in the daily problem solutions :) or would you just want the code for this note?
You see, num IC has accessed this note from my daily solution :)
