Cook and Krajíček  have obtained the following Karp-Lipton result in bounded arithmetic: if the theory proves , then collapses to , and this collapse is provable in . Here we show the converse implication, thus answering an open question from . We obtain this result by formalizing in a hard/easy argument of Buhrman, Chang, and Fortnow . In addition, we continue the investigation of propositional proof systems using advice, initiated by Cook and Krajíček . In particular, we obtain several optimal and even p-optimal proof systems using advice. We further show that these p-optimal systems are equivalent to natural extensions of Frege systems.
