I can tell how expert geometrists can easily think of this. Firstly, they would see that L and K are midpoints, and immediately take a homothety of 2 centered at A on triangle LIK. After that, they will immediately notice the parallelogram and complete it, since it would fit with point I after the homothety. After that, label the angles on the parallelogram, find which angles are same to the angles that are labeled, and the problem kind of just falls apart. I’ve been into Olympiad geometry for a while, so I somehow just recognize this kind of stuff lol. Also, this is an easy geometry problem compared to most out there in Olympiads. Any expert in olympiads will probably agree with this.
I have always loved geometry, even though I haven't 'used' this kind of math all that much in life. I find the whole set of concept fascinating, and making proofs was my favorite part of it all. Using rule x to show y is just so fulfilling. All that to say, I had to pause and rewatch a LOT in this particular video, not just because some of the concepts I was either never fully taught, or simply don't remember. Once I finally followed along with all of the details, it all made perfect sense, and while I certainly could never have come up with this in my own ability, I still got the joy from seeing it all come together. On thing though, in the future, when doing all of the angles and showing how they are the same, if you could color or somehow label the angles other than the strict
Do the students get these questions in English only? As a Finnish math teacher I did not know what "circumcircle" meant, so I probably would second guess myself and end up not solving this. With the help of Google I found out it's "ulkoympyrä" which directly translates to "outer circle" or "outcircle". With this knowledge I was able to solve this in roughly 1 hour. Great problem, will be giving this out in Finnish to gifted students as a challenge. Now, I have to find the rest of these questions and see if I get stumped with the 2,3,5 and 6 :)
@13:15 I don't think you need to prove that length AI is equal to length IQ since as AC is parallel to XQ and AB is parallel to YQ (by the question), the formed quadrilateral is a rhombus with inscribed circle omega thus I is the center of it and divides the diagonal exactly in two same lengths (no proof needed per se) Looking forward in the video, I see you're having Q' that "maybe" has some connection to Q, and you proved it actually is the same using the prior proof of lengths AI and IQ / IQ'... BUT... why prove all that if you have a circle inscribed in a triangle, then two parallels of two triangle sides that tangent that circle form a rhombus AX'QY' that has the same circle inscribed?!? The definition of a rhombus is exactly a quadrilateral with four same length sides of which two opposite are parallel! And the center of an inscribed circle into a rhombus always divides the two diagonals in halfs! That is by definition!
this...points deducted for being too complicated and not using the most elegant solution...by definiton/construction we have 2 pairs of parallel lines with equal distances, so its a rhombus, so the circle centre lies on both diagonals, so all the length and angles match, thats super straight forward...using 2/3 of the video time of the proof on the most obvious part and only 1/3 on the actually difficult parts is a bit ridiculous...
DEAR GOD surely you can solve this without construcijg BCQ which I don't see Anyone any math grnius thinking of..or inscribed angle theorem..so why do this?? Please solve a way ppl.will actually think of..
@@BigAsciiHappyStar please observe with more concentration: You've a triangle and it's inscribed circle with the center I You now translate the sides AC and AB so that they tangent that inscribed circle also on the other side of it. They intersect in a point Q. If you draw a line between the two tangent points you WILL get a straight line that has the length of 2 radii of the inscribed circle, and that is also the length of the sides of the new quadrilateral, as they are parallel in pairs. And all four are the same length and equal 2 radii of the inscribed circle. By doing this you get a rhombus BY DEFINITION, as the two pairs of tangents/sides are PARALLEL and also are of the SAME LENGTH. These two characteristics are the definition of a rhombus. A rhombus also has one inscribed circle by known proofs in Euclidian geo, and it is THE SAME circle as the triangle inscribed circle. Also by prior euclidian proofs you know that the rhombus has 2 diagonals (that are perpendicular one to each other, but this not used here, so no need), and that one of them is longer and the other is shorter. Also you know that by prior proofs the two diagonals intersect exactly in the point of the center of its inscribed circle. Also the diagonals are split in half by their point of intersection which is also the center of the inscribed circle. Thus, due to proofs done in Euclidian geometry already 2500 years ago, you KNOW that Q = Q' and AI = IQ

what he means to say that either one of the criteria imply the other so you just need to prove any one of them, it is the standar mathematical definition of that theorem
Felt too complicated for me this time, but my problem wasn't that it was complicated, it was that usually when a problem is really complicated I feel it's better to show some enlightening information, like for example that even though 2 angles look like they're totally different and not the same they end up being the same, or maybe the cool theorems like Ptolemy's theorem or the pilot theorem, but in this case I didn't feel any point in the final destination of the proof if you get my point, like, it didn't feel like we accomplished anything after we reached the conclusion asked for by the problem, so I didn't really feel satisfied at all or content by the question itself
I feel like the colour coding and diagram itself could have been made clearer. I got stumped when the opposite inscribed quadrilateral angles were seemingly interchanged with the triangle angles and wasn’t sure if the two inscribed circles were being used simultaneously, if that makes sense

We would definitely appreciate if you also bring vids for rest of the 6. This one is commendable, great explanation, even a 7th grader can understand this
This is the International Math Olympiad. Every country selects its 6 best students to compete each year. They can't just have some simple, straight forward solution that anyone can think of. These students are the best of the best!
Without a compass and straight edge, I would have a hard time making a legible diagram and some of the points might fall on top of each other. I assume that contestants aren't allowed to use drawing tools or software.
They are provided all the tools needed such as geometrical tools, scientific calculators etc. They are even given snacks like cookies, bananas, energy/fruit drinks, dark chocolates etc too! Since they have to sit and think hard for 4.5hours straight.
Instead of showing that Q and Q' are the same you could have described Q as the intersection of XX' and YY' and show that IA part of a parallelogram AX'Y'Q because it bisects X'AY' and therefore Q is on AP.
It doesn't feelgood seeing that there are people who can solve this question while I cant get through half of the process, even though the process seems easy.
If you don't study for math Olympiads like we do that's completely normal lmao. The amount of work, and study we have to do for this problems is insane but interesting, fun and rewarding.
The problem with the problem, initially, is the word jargon that math uses instead of modern english, like latin or Ole English, ya just don't know what they hell they saying. I talked this out with a 16 year ole and they got it right in about 15 minutes. Because when ya talk with someone ... you can use your hands and form a mental image in 3D rather than 2D ... even if it is a 2D issue ... you have no problem rotating the image in space and turning in a way to advantage you. But if you have to create the image you have to create the next D. It's easier to see it at the higher D and work backwards. Which goes to say what they did at this comp was harder IMO. and lets not forget the pressure they were under. me and the neighbor ... we were just chit chatting.
At 1:50, it is heartening to see India finish 4th this year. We have been doing great over the last few years, thanks in large part to the teachers in the month long training camp.

Its very intuitive, it encompases both lines given and additionally lies on the angle bisector, so introducing the point Q should be the first thing to do
@@tollspiller2043I'm sorry but it's not intuitive at all even if you complete the quadrilateral..i don't see how..intuition is subjective maybe?..and what angle bjsectpr are you referring to? ..and furthermore can't you solve without completing that quadrilateral with the parallel lines..thats something else thats nkt at all intuitive or organically logical so please solve without it. Wouldn't you agree with that? Thanks for answering.

Midpont Theorem

Felt too complicated for me this time, but my problem wasn't that it was complicated, it was that usually when a problem is really complicated I feel it's better to show some enlightening information, like for example that even though 2 angles look like they're totally different and not the same they end up being the same, or maybe the cool theorems like Ptolemy's theorem or the pilot theorem, but in this case I didn't feel any point in the final destination of the proof if you get my point, like, it didn't feel like we accomplished anything after we reached the conclusion asked for by the problem, so I didn't really feel satisfied at all or content by the question itself
sir, can you please do for SINGA maths competition? competiton is on 31 august. deeply appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel like the colour coding and diagram itself could have been made clearer. I got stumped when the opposite inscribed quadrilateral angles were seemingly interchanged with the triangle angles and wasn’t sure if the two inscribed circles were being used simultaneously, if that makes sense
Sir can you make video on geometry concepts
This is very useful for gears inside of a motors engine creating torques. So the pistons could keep moving and they burst the gas, so you're able to drive your vehicle.
If you are serious, can you explain how or point to some resource available in public domain ?
We would definitely appreciate if you also bring vids for rest of the 6. This one is commendable, great explanation, even a 7th grader can understand this
12:52 13:04 Lol XPB instead of XBP.
Also, it'd have been faster if you'd noticed that AX'QY' is a rhombus.
Can't you solve this without the sickly quadrilateral theorem or imbibed angle theorem since I don't think a lot of ppl will think of them?
This is the International Math Olympiad. Every country selects its 6 best students to compete each year. They can't just have some simple, straight forward solution that anyone can think of. These students are the best of the best!
Without a compass and straight edge, I would have a hard time making a legible diagram and some of the points might fall on top of each other. I assume that contestants aren't allowed to use drawing tools or software.
They are provided all the tools needed such as geometrical tools, scientific calculators etc. They are even given snacks like cookies, bananas, energy/fruit drinks, dark chocolates etc too! Since they have to sit and think hard for 4.5hours straight.
Instead of showing that Q and Q' are the same you could have described Q as the intersection of XX' and YY' and show that IA part of a parallelogram AX'Y'Q because it bisects X'AY' and therefore Q is on AP.
It doesn't feelgood seeing that there are people who can solve this question while I cant get through half of the process, even though the process seems easy.
Don't worry, 99,9% of us can't either ;)
If you don't study for math Olympiads like we do that's completely normal lmao. The amount of work, and study we have to do for this problems is insane but interesting, fun and rewarding.
who creates these questions? 🤔😮😥
Pozdrawiam z Polski! 😊

The problem with the problem, initially, is the word jargon that math uses instead of modern english, like latin or Ole English, ya just don't know what they hell they saying. I talked this out with a 16 year ole and they got it right in about 15 minutes. Because when ya talk with someone ... you can use your hands and form a mental image in 3D rather than 2D ... even if it is a 2D issue ... you have no problem rotating the image in space and turning in a way to advantage you.
But if you have to create the image you have to create the next D. It's easier to see it at the higher D and work backwards.
Which goes to say what they did at this comp was harder IMO. and lets not forget the pressure they were under. me and the neighbor ... we were just chit chatting.
At 1:50, it is heartening to see India finish 4th this year. We have been doing great over the last few years, thanks in large part to the teachers in the month long training camp. It is only a matter of time, before we dominate IMO like we dominate the International Chess (expect for that odd Norwegian😀 )
I wonder If we will ever find a player better than magnus, or he will remain the undisputed king for infinity and beyond.
@@DhoklaAboveVadapav - People used to wonder the same when Fischer was in his prime and when Kasparov was unbeatable for over two decades. I am pretty sure, someone better will come along. I wish it is from India 😀
@@agytjax True. Surely someone will come. But I doubt in next 10 years.

10:16 u said angle QYC instead of QCY!!!
Good catch 😊 This was an alphabet soup so it was a challenge to say everything correctly.
Make a series with ALL these problems, and you can rename this video with the text in brackets first
Hi presh!!
Complicado. Sobre todo el poder dibujar el problema. Muchas gracias
lol, massimo gobbino is one of my professors at unipi (calculus 2)
8:01 oh... thats AI in MindYourDecisions...
Test for top 0.0001% from top 0.001% students. Not for most of regular human.
I don't see why anyone would construct triangle BQC..right would anyone really, even Chat GPT SOB? So why not solve without that please?
Its very intuitive, it encompases both lines given and additionally lies on the angle bisector, so introducing the point Q should be the first thing to do
@@tollspiller2043I'm sorry but it's not intuitive at all even if you complete the quadrilateral..i don't see how..intuition is subjective maybe?..and what angle bjsectpr are you referring to? ..and furthermore can't you solve without completing that quadrilateral with the parallel lines..thats something else thats nkt at all intuitive or organically logical so please solve without it. Wouldn't you agree with that? Thanks for answering.
@@leif1075 there are other solutions that dont involve Q but other points, e.g. a point R such that BIR are collibear and AR is perpendicular to BR.
Point Q is the easiest and modt obvious one to introduce
I feel like the idea here is foresight - you know that the midpoint and the incenter are very badly connected so you want to “move” the angle
@@whitemountain4851 that is exactly what I did first. I call this the Principle Of Most Disgusting - focus on the most disgusting part of the problem and work out how to make it less disgusting 😀
This one gave me a headache
The only way USA can compete is to not show Russian team 🤣. In individual results a Russian got silver. Previous year Russia got gold in individual results. 💪 China and Russia are the strongest
In this IMO 2024, the total score of Russian students are 185, China 190 and USA 192
So i don't know what you're talking about 😂😂
@@wintersfan i googled team members. china team members in 2023: Shi, Wang, Zhang, Liang, Sun, Jiang
Usa team members in 2023: Liu, Wang, Lin, Zhao, Lu, Shen.
major race in usa is white (around 60%), and asians are like 9-10%. I believe there were two asian teams and none from America or you are another state of china. From 60% of the nation there is no white who is smart anough? This is pathetic. Usa - United states of asia😂
P. S. Russian team in 2023 : Алиса Волкова, Роман Кузнецов и Эльдар Хисамутдинов, Александр Гнусов, Ратибор Коптилин, Павел Прозоров. At least 4 members are with clear Russian names.
@@TheBurzhuy why are you bringing race tho? They are still American.
@@wintersfan because I can😋 I didn't say they don't have American citizenship. America can "buy" and import smart people, it is not a secret, it does it all the time. But the fact that it needs smart asians (10 % of population) to compete with china while the major race can't even represent the country in IMO tells a lot about education system. This is big respect for asian Americans and humiliation for the rest.
Also, the fact that the only question you have is "why you mentioned race? " also tells a lot about western culture of the offended by anything. My country has not less nationalities than in US, probably even more (190+ nationalities, also no segregation zones for any of them 😉) , but i still can name races freely and this is not offencive to people (except for cases of true offenciveness).
@@TheBurzhuy i am not offended by you saying about race. But IMO is about Math and bringing up race is irrelevant since the IMO is meant to represent the 6 best students in a country.
For 4 hour's it's doable
That’s the easy problem on the exam? Wow.
That's Olympiad math problems for ya
2nd easiest or easiest, and the difficulty ramping is brutal, even the 2nd problems on each day are significantly harder (except for problem 5 which was really easy this year)

I have a simpler solution, no knowledge of cyclic quadrilaterals required

ai solved this problem in 19 seconds :/
Only after receiving the formalized statement of the problem in AlphaGeometry’s own language. They essentially cheated by translating the problems from english into machine manageable versions
@@redsolaris1 yes but that doesn't change the fact that it gets it right in 19 seconds. Its just how computers work, and they're faster than us humans, accept that.
@@wowyok4507 The ai got 0 points on problems 5 and 3 though, it’s because they were more logic oriented problems and the speed of computers is basically useless when it comes to that
@@MariusGjika ah yes, an ai that was created half a year ago won't get any better, yes agreed
@@wowyok4507I’m not saying it won’t get better, just that it’s not as powerful as you think. Till now in the field of combinatorics, it’s gotten nowhere(it got 0 points on both of the combinatorics problems), since theres something inherently different about this field which makes it difficult for ai to grasp. Though i am curious to see if it will improve significantly in the near future
KHAO PEEYO😂😂😂
10:12 Extremely complicated with a jungle of letters and lines.
Unfortunately...
Surely there is a way to make it cleaer and a way tonsolve WITHOUT the inscribed a gle theirem since a lot of ppl no matter how genius will NOT recall that.
Are you allowed a ruler and compass on the IMO? Otherwise this is just cruel.
Of course lol, you can't even do this problems without it.
u wot m8?
ALMAA HII KAAFI HAIN ....
Presh you have a mistake. You did not use all letters in alphabet. My conclusion: it was not an Olympiad, it was linear work in shop for cashier. Competition should be interesting. I'm sorry Presh, be happy! 🤷♀️
First to see
I'm not sure whether to believe AI is already smarter or can be smarter than humans..if Presh couldn't solve it,does thatmean AI is smarter than him..and if most ppl.have so much difficulty with math are humans really as smart as we tout and aren't AI already smarter than a lot of ppl?
Proofread what you write and spell out your words.
Were you dropped in the head as a baby? This is why dependence on AI makes you completely useless
Based on how you wrote that, yes they most certainly are
@@JakeMarley-k6glol.come on i was lazy and writing fast and autocorrect sucks so surely you don't mean that?
