what happened to luke
@@footyplays5409 Probably too old to compete in this competition now.
Ikr probably luke is in highschool since mathcounts is for middle school
😂😂😂
A request to editor, please show the question on screen as soon as he start dictating
Amen!!
Was about to say that myself
yaaa
Istg i am dying inside because i can't see the question
Yeahhhhhhhh
My mom signed me up for this and I searched it up so I know how it feels and now I'm worried

Nice to see indians
@@hashirshaikh510 what else do you expect other than asians. Its a fucking math competition
42:45 - “Would you share a random fact with us?” - “No.” - “okay that’s fair” 😭😂
These kids solving problems before I even start thinking about the problem
These ppl don’t look like they’re in the grade they claim to be in .
they do though
The real trick is reading the question on Wil Wheaton's cards before it's posted
teach me your secrets plz... also tell me what your aops name is.
You are op
They have a monitor in front of them
I remember last year didn't you answer -2 for the really easy question when it was 6? It was 2x = 2 and x - y = -4, then what is x + y? x was 1 and y was 5, not x is 1 and y is -3. Can't believe it
Excellent host
We need luke back
luke was disqualified due to his op big brain
WTF, I CAME HERE FOR LUKE and read the comments :'(
PUERTO RICO IS PROUD OF YOU JESSICA!!!!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Do not piggyback LOL No Latino can't compete with Asians LOL She is Asian. It just happens that she is from San Juan LOL
Can almost guarantee everyone who watched this video has an AoPS account...

Hi i'm joanna418m
Congratulations Daniel.....Suyash Pandit All the best for your future.
Where is Luke? Our center attention? Oh maybe he's on college right now
nah this is middleschool
Awww karthik was so smiley
Yay, finally
6:07 *the general formula to find any plant's height given that (x) is the first plant's height and n is their position: x+3(n-1) *in a group of 25 plants, the middle plant would be the 13th. *middle plant: [x+3(13-1)] *the one to its left: [x+3(12-1)] add them up together: [x+3(12)] + [x+3(11)] = (x+36) + (x+33) = (2x+69) it was given that the sum of the 13th and 12th plant was equal to that of the 25th plant, which, by the general formula, would be: [x+3(24)] = (x+72) therefore, (2x+69) = (x+72 ) 2x-x = 72-69 x = 3 height of the middle plant: x+3(12) substitute x with (3): (3)+36 =39
Thank you so much! I misread it and was doing the plant to the RIGHT of center and kept coming up with x as -3, and the answer 33, and was thinking "Is this an imaginary space garden where the first plant can have negative height?"
@@adamwarlock1 glad to help! :)
Not even that difficult. What is the height of the middle plant? Well 13 is the middle of 25 and 13x3=39cm
@@pussdesttoyer17 hi! but you wouldnt've known the height of the first plant - it was only stated that each following plant is 3cm taller than the plant before it. had the first plant been 1cm tall, then the answer would've been 37cm. you need the height of the first plant since no absolute value was given (we only know that each plant is 3cm taller than the one to its left). that's why i looked for (x) first, which is the height of the first plant. you can't just do 13×3 ; it just so happened that the height of the first plant was 3cm as well which is why 13×3 gives the same answer.
Let n = height of middle plant: n = (n+36) - (n-3) = 39
Sadly I never made it past the regionals in MathCounts or Math Olympiad (of course, that was back in the age of dinosaurs... 1989-94). For this one, I was able to get a lot of the answers, or at least be on the right track for them (stupid math errors like not doubling the center term when squaring a polynomial). Of course, it took me minutes, not seconds. These kids are amazing!
Without Luke it will never be the same
He would have been on 9th grade, I guess the cutoff date for this competition is the 8th grade?
Why am I binging this
The second semifinals is the best part
they always lose because they press the freakin buzzer before they're even ready it breaks my heart !
no, it's called strategy. you have 3 seconds to answer, and 3 seconds is VERY precious. however, the pressure results in loss of focus and they sometimes do make mistakes. overall, it's rather reliable.
i love eric!!!! wowwwww wait did he win??
Eric S. Definitely is mood
Luke we miss you please come back
Out of 10 questions I managed to answer roughly 4 and I need at least 2mins for each :D No idea how they manage it in 5 seconds
You got 4 damn you must be smart
I like this
I haven't been able to do math since like 9th grade but I'm really on the edge of my seat watching this
Who's the brave one that is going to time stamp and explain the answer to each question?
JEEEEEEZ RAM.G CHILL

@@KelinZhu Hi mathleticguyy
Isn't that his aops account?
সব কটা question খুব ভালো👍
where's luke? he made it fun to watch...
6:19 surprisingly the only one I got right and then he says I don't think a person in this room understood what was going on with that question. lol the middle one would be the 13th plant, if the first plant started at 3cm then the 13th would be 39 if increased by 3cm to the next plant.
binge watch

Can I just say... Alan is adorable I would die for him
YES
he's a minor
@@darude_g892 they only called him adorable…
and Luke?
Most times I don't see them solving, Do they do math in their heads or remembering cheat codes
They’ve done so many problems that they can do problems in their heads
40% of the problems are simply calculation (24:54) 35% of the problems are like the questions on your exams - slight variations of problems which they have formulas to (56:13) 15% of the problems can be solved almost directly with lemmas they've learned through experience (23:06) 10% of the problems are interesting and they have to play around (4:54) mental math is also a key, the less you write down, the less time you take. however, it takes experience to know when you write and you do it mentally. just about every problem in cdr, mathletes like these know exactly what to do when they read it. it's not to say they get the complete solution/answer right away, but they know where to start and what the solution looks like. it's only until AIME/olympiad where they won't know what to do and have to play around. hope it helps!
25%
This audience's kinda tougher than the 2018's...
C'mon...Why do you always have to post it a month late
where is luke?

Can someone explain to me the Cersei question at 26:40
37:37 - 38:30 Since the point P, (x, y), is “on” the given circle, x^2 + y^2 = 4. (1) The distance from P to the point (4, 0) is 3, so sqrt((x-4)^2 + (y-0)^2)) = 3, or (x-4)^2 + y^2 = 9. (2) To solve (1) and (2) simultaneously: (2) - (1) -8x + 16 = 5, x = 11/8. Sam’s answer is 8/5 and William’s 7/3. Both are incorrect.
1ClassicalMusicFan Now if you're that smart, why don't you go and show them how it's done?
Yep,noticed it.

Candy question: 25:36 Isn't the correct answer "3 over 16"?
nope you have to divide it by the total candies eaten you divided by just the bright ones
@@ryangrayson1437 Oh! Thanks a lot.
I HATE it when the competitors say the answers before the question is posted.
Where's Luke boy?
he's in ninth grade so he can't participate any more. He would have crushed all these competetors
luvitus bangton graduated
its because he died in MOP. They also need an alternate for IMO.
luvitus bangton He’s not in middle school anymore; MATHCOUNTS programs are only provided for middle schoolers from grades 6-8. But I bet he’s going to get a perfect score on the AMC 10/12 and AIME while eventually getting to MOP/USAMO/IMO
@@flippingphysics0160 he got 150 on 12B this year

how do they read question AND calculate the answer before the host even finishes the question?
@Sam Lee thanks

holy shit the kid that goes to miller middle school is my school HOLY SHIT
Where is Luke Robitaille??
At 29:20, I'm getting 1.55. What am I missing? N : Num of students P : Total num of pets. A : Average num of pets per student N1 = 0.8 * N: num of students with >= 1 pet N2 = 0.3 * N: num of students with >= 2 pet N2 = 0.05 * N: num of students with >= 3 pet P >= N1*1 + N2*2 + N3*3 A = P / N >= (N1*1 + N2*2 + N3*3) / N = 0.8 + 0.3*2 + 0.05*3 = 0.8 + 0.6 + 0.15 = 1.55
The correct formula is 0.5 + 0.25 * 2 + 0.05 * 3 which is 1.15. Look up Inclusion-Exclusion principle.

23:09 how do you do this?
similar triangles, x/3 = 5/x. pretty good formula to memorize honestly, it shows up a lot.
