Did you see the 1=2 approval award? Go here.

Thanks

For the 2 user awards (after all, 1 does equal 2). It's nice to know that there are several active users around here. Azjps (talk) 19:15, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Are you saying, extend $\overline{PE}$ to a point $E'$ on the circumcircle of $\triangle ABD$, then use power of point/ptolemy (and same for other triangle)? I'm not sure, but wouldn't that add more variables into the problem, like finding $AE', DE',$ and such (of course you could be right, but I don't see any simple cyclic quad. solutions)? I think area ratios, or maybe Menelaus or Ceva, might be more applicable. Azjps (talk) 19:47, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

WHAT????????????

.. didn't you just pm me? lol Azjps (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

OH! Well, I was just saying extend some points to make cyclic quads, find similar triangles, and make a few solvable equations.

Like extend E one unit to G. AGDB is cyclic. Find similar triangles to get rations from DB to AG and GD to AB.

  • I see. But how would you use $CF$? Azjps (talk) 17:18, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

Don't know. Didn't solve it.

Hehe

You can sign your self and stuff by putting four tilde things like this: ~~~~ Or, you just click the button with a signature on it and it automatically puts it in. Nice work on the AMCs you've been doing. Temperalxy 18:13, 24 October 2007 (EDT)

Please please PLEASE(!!!!!), when you put something into a category, make sure that the categories are alphabetized. So if something has

Rearrange the definitions and the stubs so it will look like

Inequalites

For inequalities, what category do we put them under? I have an idea: Put them in a category called "Inequalites", and make that a subset of both Category:Algebra and Category:Number theory. Temperalxy 15:09, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
