Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcenter $O$ and orthocenter $H$. The line through $O$ parallel to $BC$ intersect $AB$ at $D$ and $AC$ at $E$. $X$ is the midpoint of $AH$. Prove that the circumcircles of $\triangle BDX$ and $\triangle CEX$ intersect again at a point on line $AO$.

Given an acute triangle $\triangle ABC$ with circumcircle $\omega$ and circumcenter $O$.
The symmedian through $A$ intersects $\omega$ again at $S\neq A$.
Point $F$ is on $AC$ such that $BF\perp AS$, and point $G$ is on ray $BF$ such that $BF \times BG = BC^2$.
Finally, let $P$ be the point such that $\square BGCP$ is a parallelogram. Prove that $OS$ bisects $CP$.

Note: The symmedian is the reflection of the median over the internal angle bisector.

Let $A,B,C$ be three distinct points on a line $\ell$. Prove that for each pair of distinct points $B_1,C_1$ such that $\overleftrightarrow{B_1C_1}$ does not pass through $A$, and $\overleftrightarrow{B_1C}$ is not parallel to $\overleftrightarrow{C_1B}$, there is a unique point $A_1$ satisfying:
(i) $A_1$ does not lie on $\overleftrightarrow{B_1C_1}$,
(ii) the projections of $A$ onto $\overleftrightarrow{B_1C_1}$, of $B$ onto $\overleftrightarrow{C_1A_1}$, and of $C$ onto $\overleftrightarrow{A_1B_1}$ lie on a line not parallel to $\ell$, and
(iii) the reflections of $A$ over $\overleftrightarrow{B_1C_1}$, of $B$ over $\overleftrightarrow{C_1A_1}$, and of $C$ over $\overleftrightarrow{A_1B_1}$ lie on a line not parallel to $\ell$.

In a scalene triangle $ABC$, the incircle $\omega$ has center $I$ and touches side $BC$ at $D$. A circle $\Omega$ passes through $B$ and $C$ and intersects $\omega$ at two distinct points. The common tangents to $\omega$ and $\Omega$ intersect at $T$, and line $AT$ intersects $\Omega$ at two distinct points $K$ and $L$. Prove that either $KI$ bisects $\angle AKD$ or $LI$ bisects $\angle ALD$.

Is there a nonempty finite set $S$ of points on the plane that form at least $|S|^2$ harmonic quadrilaterals?

Note: a quadrilateral $ABCD$ is harmonic if it is cyclic and $AB\cdot CD = BC\cdot DA$.

Determine all positive reals $r$ such that, for any triangle $ ABC$, we can choose points $D,E,F$ trisecting the perimeter of the triangle into three equal-length sections so that the area of $\triangle DEF$ is exactly $r$ times that of $\triangle ABC$.
