Projects

WAMO contests are designed to challenge and inspire math students. From creative problem-solving to rigorous proofs, each competition offers a unique opportunity for students to test their skills and deepen their love for mathematics. Whether you're new to contests or a seasoned competitor, WAMO events foster a supportive community and a spirit of curiosity.

High Quality Problems

Every WAMO problem is written by experienced competitors who have solved thousands of contest problems. Before publication, each problem is test-solved by at least 3 independent solvers, revised for clarity, and checked to ensure its difficulty is appropriate. For our mocks, we aim to perfectly replicate the style and difficulty of the official contests, providing an authentic experience for our participants.

A rectangle of dimensions \(4\sqrt{3}\) by \(4\) has a point \(P\) chosen uniformly at random inside it. James folds each vertex onto \(P\), forming four crease lines that partition the rectangle. The expected number of regions formed by those lines is \(a-\dfrac{b\pi}{c\sqrt{d}}\) where \(a,b,c,d\) are positive integers, \(\gcd(b,c)=1\), and \(d\) is squarefree. Find \(a+b+c+d\).

Why WAMO?

Our Vision

We want to create an exquisite contest experience for young middle school students in Washington, something that stands out from every other competition they'll encounter. Our contests should be challenging, inspiring, and genuinely fun to solve. When a student finishes a WAMO contest, we want them to leave excited about math instead of being exhausted or discouraged.

What Sets Us Apart

We run contests for all levels, from AMC 8 to AIME, so people of all skill levels can enjoy solving our problems.
As AoPS notes, math contests' greatest asset is community. We aim to foster a community where every participant feels recognized, through thoughtful communication, transparency, and a motivating competitive environment.

Our Expertise

We are a team of successful competitors who truly understand the structure and style of math competitions
We also have experience writing problems for many different competitions (JMPSC, MM, and more)
We have experienced mentors providing high-quality problems and guidance
