The Issue
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) conducts the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) to inspire the study and love of mathematics among students. The AMC 12B is a prestigious exam that plays a significant role in shaping young mathematicians' futures into AIME, USAMO, and even MOP and IMO. However, recent allegations suggest rampant cheating on this examination. These incidents have happened mainly in Discord, by the number 8138252948, although the exact number has not been found. Below are the first 4 problems found in the link.
